Levi Johnson: Let "Wonderful Pistachio's" Know How You Feel About Using Him.
Self ^ | Today | Self

Posted on 11/15/2009 11:42:24 AM PST by DouglasKC

So I'm watching the football game and I see this ad come on for "Wonderful Pistachios". Levi Johnson comes on camera with a big bodyguard. The announcer says something to the effect of "Levi Johnson does it with protection now".

So I emailed "Wonderful Pistachios" this:

Just to let you know I'm never going to buy any Wonderful Pistachios ever again. The day that you use a bottom feeder like Levi Johnston in an ad for your product is the day that I decide your company is not worth supporting with my patronage. You've alienated at least half of America by employing a person who has already proven that he'd sell his soul for publicity.
Oh, I'm also making it my mission to Facebook, Twitter, Email, and personally tell every single person I know (and people I don't) know and am urging them not to purchase your product.

Nice move...

Here's the address:

Wonderful Pistachios
11444 W. Olympic Blvd. Suite 310
Los Angeles, CA 90064

Here's the email:

Here is what I wrote to the Wonderful Nuts and the Parent Company(something funny about parent company)
 
"Great job guys, having Levi Johnston as a representative of your company."
 
"Guess Pistachios are banned in my house and that of many of my friends."
 
Oh, and thanks for ruining the football game.  I turned off the TV.
 
Here is web contact form for Paramount Farms:

Here is the text of the e-mail I sent (feel free to offer suggestions as to how this correspondence might have been improved):

Dear getcrackin,

Screw Levi Johnston. Screw getcrackin.

Sincerely,
(Texas Eagle)
(Small Northern California town)

Heh, heh. I know the name of the company is not "getcrackin" but I didn't even want to do them the honor of calling their product by name.

Even better. He doesn't deserve to have his name spelled right.

BILLIONAIRE OBAMA SUPPORTER KEEPING LEVI JOHNSTON IN SPOTLIGHT
TheCypressTimes.com ^ | 10/08/2009 | Gary P

Posted on Thursday, October 08, 2009

EXCERPT

Obama’s billionaire backers like Stewart Resnick and George Soros have an almost endless supply of funds they will use to go after Palin in all sorts of “creative” ways. It must be noted though, that George Soros, whose MoveOn.org claimed “ownership” of the democrat party after the 2006 elections, spent a small fortune between 2000 and 2008 trying to defeat George Bush, to no avail!

Pumping water and cash from Delta
Contra Costa Times – 5/23/09

EXCERPT

No one appears to have benefitted more than companies owned or controlled by Stewart Resnick, a Beverly Hills billionaire, philanthropist and major political donor whose companies, including Paramount Farms, own more than 115,000 acres in Kern County.

Resnick’s water and farm companies collected about 20 cents of every dollar spent by the program.

Those companies sold $30.6 million of water to the state program, participated as a partner in an additional $16 million in sales and received an additional $3.8 million in checks and credits for sales through public water agencies, documents show.

“For a program that was supposed to benefit the environment, it apparently did two things — it didn’t benefit the environment and it appears to have enriched private individuals using public money,” said Jonas Minton, a water policy adviser to the Planning and Conservation League, a California environmental advocacy group.

Representatives of Resnick’s farm and water companies did not respond to repeated requests for interviews. A woman who answered the phone at the Resnick’s holding company last week said, “We don’t talk to the press. It’s company policy.” She transferred the call to a company official who did not respond for an interview request.

Just sent my e mail. Told them that I was using the Texas Nut House for all my nuts from now on. By the way, the Nut House.com has an excellent supply of nuts, all kinds

Gentlemen:

How you could possibly use a scum-bag like Levi Johnson in you advertisement is just beyond me. It is beyond decent, it is beyond disgusting.

I’m going to forward your advertisement to everyone I know, and let them know not to purchase your product.

Have you no shame at all?

XXXXX XXXXXX

The nut behind the attacks on Sarah Palin

Stewart A. Resnick

http://www.fireandreamitchell.com/2009/10/09/the-nut-behind-the-attacks-on-sarah-palin-stewart-a-resnick/

Remember those tasteless ads featuring now “Playgirl” poser Levi Johnson, selling Paramount’s pistachios? Guess who was behind it? None other than Stewart A. Resnick. This nutjob (which is appropriate since he’s trying to sell pistachios) is a left-wing moonbat loon from Los Angeles, California who heads Rolls International. According to American Thinker, Stewart Resnick’s Rolls International is also the parent company of:

“Sunkist Fruit

Teleflora, the largest flower delivery service in the world.

FIJI bottled water

POM pomegranate products.

Paramount citrus and nuts.

Suterra pest control items.

Neptune Pacific Line global shipping company

It is a waste of time to contact Stewart A Resnick’s companies since he is a moonbat and his company is private.

You should contact the grocery chains and mass retailers that carry his products and tell them that you will be boycotting Resnick’s products:

Paramount Farms

Sunkist Fruit

Teleflora

FIJI bottled water

POM pomegranate products.

Suterra pest control items.

Neptune Pacific Line global shipping company

While we are at it, can we start writing Entertainment Tonight too(I don’t watch it but unfortunately my Mom does so I have to hear it from the next week) they follow Levi around like a damn puppy dog for a week now and now they will be following him all week again for his “Sexy photo shoot” makes me want to hurl my breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They are only doing this because they hate Sarah and they want to embarrass her. Every interview Sarah does, they will ask him to do commentary on it
