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:
http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/service/contactus.jhtml
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!)
The funny thing is I really don't have a formal list. Timesink is the keeper of the famous "Salon DeathWatch" list. And I'm not sure who keeps the media bias list? I made a quick list to alert people to the delisting potential.
I nominate Timesink to be the keeper o' the list!
Also, It's time to honor Timesink and a bunch of other Freepers who are too modest to step forward, who have dilegently Freeped Salon in the past. IT WAS A CUMULATIVE EFFORT.
FGS
nah. camille paglia could always be counted on to be smarter than yours truly.
LOL...I'd deny it too...
Seriously, I just went to Salon and the Neman Marcus ad is NOT in the current rotation as far as I can see. It WAS yesterday. It's normal to cycle in and out. We'll watch and ping you when (if) they come back.
