Slim-Fast is starting to buckle under $1.2 BILLION dollars of pressure!

The weight loss giant is apparently reacting to a huge backlash from consumers, and worried investors, after their spokesperson, Whoopi Goldberg, lobbed vulgar obscenities at President Bush this weekend. John Kerry failed to condemn those attacks supposedly because the event brought in $7.5 Million for the Democrats. Instead, Kerry praised the celebrities for conveying "the heart and soul of our country."



The parent company, Unilever [trading symbol UN] was referring all correspondence and complaints about Goldberg's hate-speech, to Slim-Fast's marketing dept. A great many angry conservatives also reported, their successes in reaching sympathetic ears at Slim-Fast: (I just received a call from Slimfast), and (Goodbye Slimfast!).

Wall Street has noticed, as Neil Cavuto reported yesterday; the 2% drop in Unilever's stock price Tuesday was attributed a new Conservative boycott of its subsidiary Slim-Fast.

That amounts to a one-day LOSS of $1.2 BILLION dollars for shareholders!




Unilever has a great deal to lose, as it's stock has a market value of 61B, and sells a great many well-known consumer products; some of which are...






Anyone may comment online to Slim-Fast for their continuing use of Whoopi Goldberg as their advertising spokesperson.

Oh great, this means another drivelling screed from Tim Robbins or some other moron blathering on about a "chill wind" blah blah blah.

When will Hollyweird learn that freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences??

It's too bad that Whoopi wasn't taken to task for her multiple abortions. Ah well. A person who does something like that is morally stunted to begin with, so such a person is bound to do other evil things as well and be caught in the act of doing something.

Is it real? There are so many of those sites where you can add your own saying to the blank cardboard.
