Are you saying the Whoopi has conflicted her interest in promoting SlimFast?
Speaking of Whoopi, I was talking about this with hubby yesterday or the day before. Last night, we had our tv on while we were preparing dinner, and one of our children tuned the tv to CMT which we had yanked a year ago when the Dixie Chicks were still being played. (we actually cancelled all the cable channels except the $10.00 package because we wanted NO Viacom channels. we excused CBS because no one in our house watches it anyway.) We only have the full digital cable package currently because our cable company gave it to us for FREE for three months. Anywho, Keith Urban was doing a concert performance, so I let the tv channel stay where it was. As soon as the concert was over, and commercials came on, who graced our screen???????? Whoopi and SlimFast. I told hubby that I would join the FR emailers and let them know what I think of 'em this morning. I intend to write CMT, too. Not that they care.
I would think that the President of Slimfast would also be required to adhere to the conflict of interest claus.
According to yesterday's NY Post, Slimfast Company President F. Daniel Abraham is a major Democratic donor who, with his wife, has given $1.2 million to groups working to defeat Bush.
