Slim-Fast Sheds Whoopi Goldberg After Bush Riff
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Comedian Whoopi Goldberg will no longer appear in ads for diet aid maker Slim-Fast following her lewd riff on President Bush's name at a fund-raiser last week, the company said on Wednesday.
Florida-based Slim-Fast said it was "disappointed" in Goldberg's remarks at last Thursday's $7.5 million star-studded fund-raiser at Radio City Music Hall in New York.
"Ads featuring Ms. Goldberg will no longer be on the air," Slim-Fast General Manager Terry Olson said in a statement, adding that the company regrets that Goldberg's remarks offended some customers.
Republicans have expressed outrage over the fund-raiser for presumptive Democratic nominee John F. Kerry and his vice presidential running mate, John Edwards, in which entertainers lined up to skewer the president.
The New York Post said of Goldberg's appearance at the event: "Waving a bottle of wine, she fired off a stream of vulgar sexual wordplays on Bush's name in a riff about female genitalia."
A spokesperson for Goldberg declined immediate comment.
Slim-Fast is a unit of Anglo-Dutch food-to-detergent group Unilever Plc .

I e-mailed Sean Hannity asking for him to talk aobut it tonight...
Slim-Fast is feeling the low-carb pinch.
And NOW they have a brewing "situation".
I personally plan to drop SlimFast a second email of thanks for listening to mine and all the other emails regarding Whoopi's vulgar behavior and potty mouth. They did the right and honorable thing in this matter and I applaud them for it.
Hey! Good to see you again!
To tell you the truth, I'd rather see Whoopi as a sparkler bird, than in the tub! The tub one makes me feel very nervous. LOL!
... IN JUST ONE DAY!!!
Awesome. I still use Whoopi as my personal weight loss aid... one look at her ugly mug and I lose my appetite.
BOYCOT OF WHOOPI JUST MENTIONED ON CNN HEADLINE NEWS!!!
I was thinking more along the lines of Jabba the Hut....
It's obvious you're a person of considerable influence and carry a lot of clout ;-)

Hmmm, the one I heard was, "Making love to Whoopi Goldberg is like masturbating with a cheese grater."
Still, I''m glad they dumped the "big loser" Whoopi!
