Statement from Terry Olson, Slim-Fast, General Manager and Vice President of Marketing
Wednesday July 14, 4:37 pm ET

WEST PALM BEACH, Florida, July 14 /PRNewswire/ -- We at Slim-Fast trust the public understands that the way in which Whoopi Goldberg chose to express her own personal beliefs at the recent fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall does not reflect the views and values of Slim-Fast. Slim-Fast selected Whoopi Goldberg as its spokesperson because of her commitment to losing weight, which we applaud. We are disappointed by the manner in which Ms. Goldberg chose to express herself and sincerely regret that her recent remarks offended some of our consumers. Ads featuring Ms. Goldberg will no longer be on the air.

That is a good way to do it. They have acted responsible so far. I'm impressed.

Thanks

I have written to them advising them that my I am recsinding my prior letter in which I indicated that it would be a cold day in hell before I ever used their product again.

I would have to say that in light of their quick action, that the weather in hell was a bit nippy today.

Send a thank you to slim fast!

Now maybe they can get a spokesman that isn't fat and ugly. (and they need to fire the person who hired her in the first place. What were they thinking?)
