The 84 Lumber ad, Audi, and that disgusting Coca-Cola ad with our National Anthem sung in foreign languages: Disgusting!

Used to go to an 84 Lumber outside of Greenfield on US 40 when I was a kid. Apparently another foolish CEO who wants to show his liberal stripes. Make him pay for it, America!

Someone needs to start #Boycott84Lumber and #BoycottAudi on Twitter. I think #BoycottStarbucks is having an effect...

The door is the moral hazard that encourages the mother and daughter to risk their lives over arduous terrain.

If you have a complete and impenetrable wall, people will stop dying in the desert.

THe Owner of 84 Lumber, a former Party girl, inherited the company from her father (sound familiar). She has approx 96% control. A boycott would really hit her.

I’ll bet they have dogs and high, locked fences guarding THEIR lumber yard!

We don’t have them here, so it’ll be easy to boycott them.

Really, REALLY stupid. In these times, how can ANY company AFFORD to annoy fully HALF (if not more!) of their customer base?

I’ll NEVER understand it. Shut up and take my money. Don’t they teach ANYTHING at Bidness Skool these days? Yeesh!

Due to the required lead times, all of these adds were done WELL BEFORE Trump won the election.

These were supposed to CELEBRATE the Dems opening America up to the world, creating a poor Democrat-voting Slave Class actual Americans could never overcome.

SOoooooooo it is clear the marketing guys have not talked to the customer service people. Tell me if some leftist soccer mom is going to buy lumber for his new housing tract, or a General Contractor with a Maga Hat....

There was also a Google commercial that had a rainbow flag prominently displayed at the beginning of the ad - had nothing to do with the product they were advertising, but they had to make sure they got it in there.

I don’t watch the Stupid Bowl, I had other useful things to do. It sounds like the Muzzlimes have been exceptionally successful in recruiting sympathy in this country. Is everyone brain dead? Do they not recall 9/11? Ft. Hood? San Bernadino? And the other Muzzlimes slaughtering innocent Americans? What stake do these brain dead libtards have in seeing more Muzzlime immigration here? Do they enjoy being raped? Murdered? What is it? Why is there such apparent sympathy for Muzzlimes here? My neighbor, a veteran of the Israeli army, would just as soon shoot one as look at one, even now. Israelis know what’s to know about Muzzlimes. I wish American did, too.

We actually had a Macy’s card, and I used for internet orders for my wife, Dil, SIl and grand daughters.

I cut up the card and taped the pieces to a copy of my credit rating and a summary of last year’s purchases. Then, I sent it to their CEO and said adios and some nasty hispanic words.

Never heard from them.

I send the news of their store closings to them and a “I told you so.!”

Looks like the site is broke.

Wanna bet it is 90% “I will never shop there again?”
