Buy Fuji Film!

I recently bought a new camera, and have wondered about the best film to buy. I've leaned towards Kodak simply because of being an American company. But this is not "American," as far as I'm concerned. Fuji is more American than this kind of totalitarianism from Kodak.

Someone pointed out on another thread that Koday should be able to hire whoever they want, only gays if they want. Fine. But then we don't have to buy their products. And to be fair, we should entirely eliminate the EEOC so that it's not only white heterosexual able-bodied males who are discriminated against.

Notice also the complete contempt for normal Americans displayed by the PR Director, Blamphin, when he dismisses any thought of complaints or boycotts. Companies like Kodak just don't care about us.

Remember how Eisner of Disney said they could do without the business of Southern Baptists and Catholics? Turned out he was wrong. Disney has tanked bad, even worse and sooner than the rest of the stock market. Here's a page of Kodak contact info (no emails unfortunately):

Disney has tanked due to its purchase of ABC, and other ill-timed acquisitions.

Attendance at ALL theme parks is down since 9/11. Before 9/11, the Disney parks were the only thing keeping Disney from tanking completely. There is simply no evidence that boycotts by Catholics or Baptists or Mormons or anybody else contributed significantly to Disney's losses. And, Disney never said it could do without the business of those churches. I don't recall the Catholic Church ever backing a boycott, in any kind of organized way.

Large boycotts don't work because it takes a great deal of motivation, for a long period of time, for them to have even a minimal effect. And, most people don't even know about them, no matter how much a group thinks it gets its message out.

The reason to buy Fuji is that they are a dollar or two cheaper per package. Film is film; the differences come into the quality of paper used for printing (most of that is Kodak) and developing.

If a boycott of Kodak makes you feel good, by all means, do it. I haven't bought a roll of Kodak in ten years.
