By the way, Unilever also owns Ben & Jerry's ice cream.
That's right, you clueless filthy hippies. That quart of Cherry Garcia you're scarfing was made by a giant multinational corporation.

I could not believe my eyes when I saw CMT (Country Music Television) is still airing Dixie Chicks. Perhaps you'd like to join me in expressing your opinion at their web site:

No Lipton for me!, and BTW Red Rose tea is made in Canada so I won't be drinking that either, not that it's a big seller in the US,

To: Gopher Broke
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!

Piggly Wiggly brand it is!!!!
100 tea bags for $1.00, not bad.
To: Gopher Broke
Thanks for the heads up. As of today, I refuse to buy Lipton or Unilever products.
To: Gopher Broke
I don't buy Lipton anyway, it's too expensive.
I buy the store brand.
To: Gopher Broke
Own Ben & Jerry's also. Have boycotted it for a few months now [Unilever].
To: Gopher Broke
My family has boycotted Levis. To ask me to give up my 5 or 6 cups/glasses a day of Lipton's tea is too much. Sorry.

Dear Consumer,
Thank you for your recent note regarding remarks made by Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks. It is important for us to hear from our consumers and listen to their concerns.
As you can imagine, we did not expect a political controversy to arise when Lipton became a sponsor of the Dixie Chicks upcoming "Top of the World" concert tour. In this time of national crisis, we believe it is important for Americans to come together behind the values of freedom, democracy and tolerance that have made the United States of America into the country it is today.
We have every reason to believe the Dixie Chicks sincerely regret the distress Ms. Maine's comment has caused. In a subsequent statement, she said, "As a concerned American citizen, I apologize to President Bush because my remark was disrespectful. I feel that whoever holds that office should be treated with the utmost respect. We are currently in Europe and witnessing a huge anti-American sentiment as a result of the perceived rush to war. While war may remain a viable option, as a mother, I just want to see every possible alternative exhausted before children and American soldiers' lives are lost. I love my country. I am a proud American."
The Dixie Chicks have in the past shown their love of America in very public ways, such as by singing the National Anthem at the Super Bowl in January, for an audience of 930 million people worldwide. The strong bond they have forged with the public - country and popular music fans alike - is reflected in part by the People's Choice award they won for "Favorite Musical Group," and the fact that their upcoming tour sold out in record time. The band's popularity and success were further recognized when the Recording Academy awarded the Dixie Chicks four Grammy Awards.
While we respect the right to free speech for all Americans, we believe it is important for artists such as the Dixie Chicks to recognize the impact their points of view can have on their fans, especially in these uncertain times.
We value your comments, and equally, the constructive spirit in which they were offered. Thanks again for your time and for allowing us to clarify the situation. We'll be certain to share your thoughts with the Dixie Chicks.
Sincerely,
![](http://www.unilever800.com/images/ljsig.gif) Linnea Johnson Director, Consumer Services |
