Boycott Lipton Tea (Unilever), sponsor of Dixie Chicks

Unilever CONTACT US website ^

[Gopher Broke]

Unilever, a Dutch Company, owns Lipton Tea...sponsor of the Dixie Chicks TOP OF THE WORLD tour.

Since the anti-Bush remarks of Natalie Maines, LIpton Tea has been innundated with complaints and have thus made their website "bulletproof"...you cannot contact them.

However, their parent company, Unilever does have a webform for comments. Click on the link above, or HERE to send a message to UNILEVER.

"we switched to Luzianne. Just as good."

I did too, when Luzianne first hit the market & haven't bought any other brand since.

I believe the fake appology did more dammage to the dc than the comment alone. Their managers effort to minimize the appology and just blame "some wacky conservative chat room" only added fuel to fans who felt disregarded. The others you mention make no effort to hide their opinions or appologize for them. We don't expect M. Moore to appologize to the NRA for lying by edit in his movie. This is after all country music.

humor: What kind of music do you like? Both kinds, country AND western. We're very cosmopolitan.

aaaaahhhhh, I been trolled.!!!!

"You may be right. I wonder if there was anything she could have said that would have mattered to those wanting stations to boycott their music, though."

ABSOLUTLY!!! "I'm sorry, I screwed up. Please forgive me."

She would have been better off keeping her mouth shut compared to her appology. The Maines has had similar issues in the past so this backlash should not come as a surprise to anyone. They are replaceable and the next group will be along. The "other two" can always replace her or go on without her.

One thing is very clear, Sony and her manager have no clue about country fans, otherwise they would not have been caught by surprise.

old commercials had the claim that Luzianne never gets cloudy. last time I bought tea it was lipton, thinking I was doing a good thing for my wife who drinks lots of iced tea. She said she just buys whatever is cheaper. Seems she usually gets Luzianne. Maybe it was Tetley with the old commercials.

I personally think that for flavor it is just whatever you get used to.

heard the lipton site was bullet proof. we don' need no stinkin' bullets; we just send our bucks to somebody else.

Care to address my point about no outrage and calls for boycotts of artists who's actual songs could easily be deemed "anti-American" and the lack of calls for C&W radio to stop playing "Picture", sung by Sheryl Crow, a leftists moron?

The outrage over the Dixie Chicks' comments has as much to do with where and to whom they made the statements as it does with what they said. They were simply pandering to the perceived anti-American bias in England. I would like to hear them repeat the statements at a show in Texas.

Sheryl Crow is basically an unknown with respect to the country music audience. I listen to a fair amount of country music radio and can't say that I've heard anything by her on country radio. I, and I suspect the vast majority of country radio listeners, really couldn't care less about Sheryl Crow. The Dixie Chicks, OTOH, receive(d) constant airplay. They are a known entity to country music fans who, I think it is fair to say, feel betrayed by them. Does that answer your question?

Can you people give it a rest?

When will you stop? When their career is entirely destroyed?

[gettingreal]

agreed

maybe they could write a song about it..."ooooh babe, i soooo screwed up, i sh** the nest when i said i's shamed..." [refrain common to some of the old tear in the beer songs, like "i didn know what i had till i lost it..."]

[Destructor]

That's okay. The Iraxie Chicks will open their web site up again at some point after the war. I plan to let 'em have it then!

Just because a new poster disagrees with you and thinks you are wasting your time on the "Dixie Chicks" treason he's a "liberal puke"? I didn't agree wtih you either, and I registered a year before you. Am I a troll, too for thinking this Chicks story is about finished? It's not like the guy defended Jimmy Carter or Clinton.

There's a war on now. This Chicks incident is a footnote to a footnote in history. If their fans stay pissed at them, they will decline and fade away. The idea of boycotting Lipton tea for chrissakes because they sponsor the Chicks is ridiculous!

Get a life.

No American worth his star-spangled banner has consumed tea since the Boston Tea Party! Coffee, Coke, lemonade...anything but tea.

[Dustbunny]

No problem we are not coffee drinkers and drink Red Rose Tea anyhow.

There's also the simple fact that Sheryl Crow is a known imbecile, and her fans knew what they were getting into from the beginning. Maines, on the other hand, specifically and intentionally kicked a steel-toed boot into the face of her fan base.
