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:

What do you think?

I'd keep it to one sentence, being as it'll get read only far enough for the intent to be declared. Anything beyond that is just feelgood for you.

Larry King of CNN has this piece of scum too that is being promoted on the CNN website.

Think I’ve seen three of their ads. They all seem poorly conceived, at least to me.

The one with “Johnson” (aptly named for Playgirl) was the latest.

I didn’t get the connection.
I DID want to wash my hands (and NOT buy their product).

I’ll pass my thoughts on to the company.

Oh they are going to interview him on CNN too..oh how beautiful. This is how they are going to counter Sarah doing interviews. Bring this buffoon on and ask him “Ok Levi, look at this clip, tell me, when she touches her glasses, does that mean she’s lying” “Tell us, when she smiles like that, is she lying.” WOW, when Sean Hannity said the media died in 2008 he wasn’t kidding

So the best they can find for a spokesperson for their product is a short, overrated, out of control and unemployed Johnson?

Here’s may email to them. Paramount Farms is the grower BTW.

Subject: Levi and his nuts.

Gentlemen: Were it your intention to aim your product at shiftless never do well young men, I sense your ad sense may be on target. However, for the rest of us that enjoy pistachios and vote conservative, you can be assured that not one dime of my paycheck will ever see your company’s coffers.

Thanks for the heads up! My response:
Sirs,

You idiots. You have one product and you think it’s a good idea to piss off half your actual and potential customers?

Like I said, idiots. Attached is a picture demonstrating that you have in fact lost a customer – if your mail service doesn’t accept attachments then you can view the picture at http://tunehead54.com/fr/crackincrap.jpg .

Conservatives as a rule feel strongly that Sarah Palin has been wronged by the media, by liberals in general and even by McCain and his campaign. She is a person to be reckoned with and we expect her to be a strong contender in the 2012 presidential campaign.

This Johnston fellow, rather than doing the honorable thing, support his progeny and keep his mouth shut, is capitalizing on his 15 minutes of fame and pond scum would be a good description except I wouldn’t want to offend pond scum. Well, you might have thought this cute but you were mistaken. Maybe you should spend more time review the submissions for your $25K contest than placing this ad in any other markets.

Publix used to carry Sunkist but now only yours – I do intend to suggest they change back as I’ll never buy your product again. Hopefully Publix will give me my money back for your stale, poorly salted product. Your lack of an 800 number or product guarantee should have been a tip off to the lack of quality in your product. Buh-bye.

Sincerely, (TH54)

Here is the reply I received from my e-mail. They may not have an 800 number but they are giving out a live person’s number to contact.

I will be out of the office Friday, Nov. 13, returning on Monday. If this is urgent, please contact Kourtney Schepman at 310-966-4665.
Thank you.

Isn’t it something else that Carrie Prejean is trashed here and elsewhere and yet, this bum is given credence?

Thanks - I see I got the same auto-response. I think Sonya Grigoruk is going to have a lousy Monday. ;-)

Likely they are on their last legs folling the big salmonella debacle. I can’t believe they are still solvent.

I saw the ad also... my response:

Good morning,

This letter is to inform you that I will no longer purchase your Pistachios product.

It is beyond decent, that you use an immoral and tasteless promoter like Levi Johnson in you Pistachios advertisement and I will make an all out effort to make sure that your company is boycotted in my neighborhood and household. I will also be sending emails to the grocery chains that carry your products such as Albertsons, Publix , Giant Eagle, Kroger, Safeway, Vons and Wegmans and request that they discontinue.

Pathetic,
