Freeping works! I just got off the phone with the VP of Marketing for Lexus...Last week I had sent the following email to the COO of Toyota, their parent company.
Did you know your Lexus division is funding pedophilia, prevision and filth by advertising on the left-wing site Salon? There are countless examples. Check out http://www.salon.com/mwt/feature/2002/07/22/coming_of_age/index.html?x As a proud Lexus owner, I'm ashamed that Toyota would be supporting this garbage. Is this the image you want your company to have?
Name Address & phone
The VP called me today in response! According to him, Lexus is pulling their ads (or not renewing their contract). In part it was because of my email, he said!
Lexus over the years has been one of the largest advertisers at Salon. In a small way I feel I and the others great Freepers here, have helped defund the left.
At the risk of beating a dead horse...here is the contact info for Neiman Marcus one of Salon's newest advertisers:

Check it out, send 'em an email or call 'em!
(Note; it got a little lonley out there. When the pedophilia article was first published on Salon, I posted excerpts here. It was pulled as being a bit much for FreeRepublic. I then emailed it to Newsmax, Drudge, Weekely Standard, Andrew Sullivan (hey he should have published it) and a bunch of other sites. Nothing! Not a lot of people pinged my messages, in fact a number of people asked to be taken off my ping list! I felt like I was tilting at a windmill. But today it was all worth it!)

You'll find that any act of conscience is solitary. Ultimately, we fight the battle alone.

Yes, I remember my hand written letter to a car company that advertised on "Politically Incorrect" and they personally called me and asked me further questions. I was actually ready and had several quotes they Bob had said personally (against Christians, 9/11, our soldiers ect...). They do listen if you present your side and mention that you share your information with others (in my case church).
Keep up the pressure....

GOOD for you. Excellent..........and a position backed up with facts, not innuendo. THAT is how we whip such slime. Kudos.
To: Drango
Bravery BUMP! Thnaks Drango for your focused, intelligent use of persuasion. Sending the company examples rather than just "whining" (never a pretty sight!) no doubt won the day. FReegards!
To: Drango
prevision "Perversion," perhaps?
At any rate, I went to the URL you cited, and the piece of filth was sponsored by Powell's bookstore. Reloading the page replaced that ad with one from Microsoft. Again, and I saw Absolut vodka. Again, Visa card.
Good start. Maybe Bill Gates will listen to you, too.

CONGRATS!
Soon, only DU will advert on Salon.
To: Drango
Nicely done.
