Notice how the concept here is to keep someone from speaking freely, as opposed to countering them with free speech of one's own.

Chicago pizza yum! Yep, boycotting Pizza Hut isn't hard, they're stuff is too greasy anyway.

Excellent observation.

unvision, the cleavage network

Yep. I've noticed that before...:-)

What is Spanish for "You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave"? <guitar riff>

Thanks for the tip! I went to their feedback webpage at ---

and just now sent them this -

Dear Pizza Hut -

I am very unhappy to hear that one of my favorite restaurants has decided to take sides in the cultural wars, and has come firmly down on the side of Political Correctness!

I understand that the Univision network did a show highlighting the practice of reparative therapy for homosexuals - a practice that the radical gay lobby naturally wants to "keep in the closet" - and that due to pressure from them you have pulled all your advertising from this show, (or from the entire network??)

The exact quote I heard is this ---

"We would never buy time around that show,'' Patty Sullivan, spokeswoman for the Dallas-based chain, told reporters. "We would never endorse those kind of comments. It's not who we are.''

Assuming this total cave-in of yours to the radical gay agenda is true, you have lost the business of my family until such time as I hear that you have reversed this short sighted policy. And if I don't hear back from you soon, I will ensure that everyone on my mailing list also knows of this surprisingly poor decision of yours.

Thank you,
XXXXXXXXXXXXX

Any behavior can be changed, only the will and desire and faith in Almighty God and the Lord Jesus Christ to do so is needed. These homosexuals would rather wallow in the pits of their fleshly lusts than to work for a better life and lifestyle.

I have said this before, and I will say this now, Homosexuality is an addiction just like drug and alcohol addiciton that can be treated and cured.

I refuse to buy in to the liberal left's looney lies and agenda.

Discurso libre para mí pero no para el thee.

Just watching the women on Spanish speaking television could cure homosexuality. Those women are hot!

[Skooz]

As we say down south........."SON!"

No, unfortunately, we don't have non-chain Pizza stores. I did have some good pizza in Manhattan (KS) sometime in the district near K-State. I am sure if I went to New York, the chain pizza would seem pathetic.

Is Univision the channel with 'Sabato Gigante' and the guy in the bee suit?

Loved 'The Simpsons' spoof of that years ago...

Univision broadcasts this guy(?):

Pizza Hut is not trying to silence anyone. They simply don't want to be associated with an issue that may offend a certain percentage of their customers.

Good letter

[RonF]

I agree with you. I wasn't referencing Pizza Hut, but the protestors complaining to it. Such complaints are very often followed by threat of boycott, etc., with the desired result of pressuring the sponsors to drop their advertising and thus keeping the information from being presented due to lack of sponsorship.

Univision has the hottest babes, especially anchoring those tabloid news shows.

I don't know where these babes come from, but they exude sensuality and sex appeal in everything they do on camera.

[Born Conservative]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that Pizza Hut, Pepsi, Taco Bell, and KFC are all owned by the same company.
