LOS ANGELES — The Slim-Fast diet drink company has dumped Whoopi Goldberg (search) from its advertising because its executives were unhappy with remarks the comedian made at a recent political rally that mocked President Bush (search).

Hell yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does Whoopi Goldberg advertise any other products?
I wonder what the contract for whoopie said. We she be penalized by doing something stupid or will she get paid in full?
Maybe Slim-Fast can now hire somebody like Twiggy and say she lost 703 1/2 pounds on Slim-Fast. Just a thought.
Sweet!
Of course, the looney left will whine that this is corporate sponsored censorship blah blah... Which is pretty funny given the fact that boycotts are a favorite tool of the left. Problem is most people DON'T go along with their boycotts.
So really, a lot of the moaning that will inevitably occur will be from people who are pissed off that no one pays attention to the lefts boycotts.
More proof that the left is becoming more and more irrelevant.
What I would like to know is how much did she get paid, or was getting paid, from Slim-Fast. I bet it was a good chunk.
I dunno, can't we just continue using the sign that she says that she's a big loser (and add some strategic commentary that differs from the existing ad)?
If so, pay her in full with a big Hooray!
If not, there's probably a quality clause to terminate her without pay if she is a bad influence on sales.
HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!
Maybe Fergie is available -- she was the spokesperson for another Diet Foods line.
We can safely assume she doesn't advertise any sort of beauty cream.
I believe it was Weightwatchers
HELL YEAH!!!
What makes this even sweeter is that the guy who owns SlimFast is a huge lib, and has pumped a bunch of money into 'Rat causes over the years...
Job well done to those who complained to SlimFast!!!
I had the tv guide station on and they had her ad on the top of the screen. That was about an hour ago. Did they just pull magazine ads?
I was watching Fox news this morning and one of the newscasters said that he would look like he lost weight too IF he wore larger pants! Anyone else see that?
We here at Free Republic had a large part in this, and I think we should congratulate ourselves. And I'm glad all the mainstream media has picked up the story and explained whys he was canned. Hopefully these morons will think twice before making fools of themselves and embarrassing the rest of us.
Looks like the position is WIDE open for Micky Moore to step right in. Imagine that Mr Moore... all the Slimfast you can drink. Yummmeeee!
FoxNews revealed the President of SlimFast is a major contributer to the Democrat-Socialists Party. In other words, he's a flaming liberal.
Its all fine and dandy to get the vp of slimfast to fire Whoopie for foul language, et al (the president wouldn't do it, according to FoxNews), but Slim Fast as a company does not support the values of the United States, so I will no longer buy slimfast products anyway.
The left used this tactic on Dr. Laura. They have no standing to complain about this.
