Looks like they have better sense than Kerry, who thinks Whoopi´s vulgarity represents the values of America. Everyone should be able to express their opinions freely, but we also need to maintain some minimal standards of common decency in our discourse. Free expression and common decency needn´t conflict. Apparently Kerry doesn´t realize this.
What an excellent way to de-fund the Left.
I doubt any other firm will be hiring her soon as a spokes-thing.
Then, you won't have the embarassing situation where your product is being hawked by an airhead actress with unpopular political leanings.
Bravo! Perhaps Kerry will see the heart and soul of real America now.
WHOOO-HOOOO!!! I am elated.
Bu-bye, Whoopi !Slim-Fast Sheds Whoopi Goldberg After Bush Riff
Excerpt:
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. [Meek translation: They were losing market share and their stock was tanking!]
"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. [Meek translation: Freepers put the heat on!]
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my General Interest ping list!. . .don't be shy.
I was one of the "some" customers that sent an e-mail expresing my disgust.
We should be proud, we managed to hit her in her wallett, where it hurts most!
Maybe now the overpaid, under-brained Hollywood crew whose careers have swooned to the "spokesperson" level will start to realize they may pay a price for "speaking out".
And maybe American businesses will start to figure out that wacky leftist "entertainers" may not be the best individuals to hawk their products.
Well, I can hope.
good work men!
The REALLY sad part of all this is now, Whoopi will
certainly get a part in a C-grade movie;
It will play in the theaters for about 3 weeks;
AND she will be given an OSCAR for her performance!
All it says is that her ads on't be playing. They did not say they had broken her contract or weren't going to be paying her. This is an easy out for them. After all, the ad campaign using her was nearing a close. She's laughing all the way to the bank!
PING!
We did it!
I love the smell of Napalm in the morning.....
It smells like VICTORY!!!!
Who's next?
YIPPEEEEE!!! When I emailed Slimefest I just said " Lose the loser". LOL
I wonder if MoveOn.org has the people power to counter our activist prowess on this issue. I doubt it. MoveOn.org is nothing but a paper tiger.
