The Proctor and Gamble boycott came from Christians objecting to the stars and the moon symbols on the P and G products> Ring a bell? What symbol and (currently in the news) mid-east entity does that bring to mind.

Actually, Dobson's boycott has nothing to do with their corporate emblem.

It has to do with a local anti-gay ordinance that they worked to overthrow.

The stars and moons symbol comes from the 1800's when P&G was formed and is simply a man and the moon picture that was faddish at the time. I grew up in a P&G family, and then worked there myself for a while. We've known that story to be bogus for years.
