I Will NEVER Use Slim-Fast Again!! EVER!!

[mermaid]

fuck them!! If it had been CLINTON that had had a joke made about him, Whoopi would still be spokesperson for Slim-Fast...but because the joke was about King Georgie-Porgie...she loses her job...because it "offended" some people!!

Well, fuck...you know, I WAS OFFENDED AT THE FUCKING PARTISAN WITCH HUNT CLINTON FACED FOR SIX OF HIS EIGHT PRESIDENTIAL YEARS!!!:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

1. You should have never used it to begin with...

What are the ingredients of Slim Fast? Consider eating a healthy diet with lots of fiber both soluable and insoluable. There are no easy fixes for weight loss and Slim Fast was never part of the solution.....

[mermaid]

3. True Enough...

but I fucking REFUSE to consume REPUBLICAN products!!

[KittyWampus]

6. Slimfast Donates To DEMOCRATS!

and I could give a crap about Whoopi and her tasteless jokes which sound as if they were puerile, unfunny and unoriginal.

She knew she'd be creating a ruckus and later bragged about how she didn't let Kerry's Team edit her comedy" routine.

This is the stupidest fucking thing to come down the pike in weeks.

Can't believe so many DU'ers are falling for it.

8. If you are going to make such statements....

Please be sure to to provide a link to prove what you are saying. Anyways most corporations are smart enough to hedge their bets and donate to both parties.....

14. well, we are all entitiled to our opinion

I happen to Love Whoopie, and I am sure they were funny remarks. Funny, the Comedy thing. Kerry should say it made her feel better afterwards.

17. They were Dem contributors

before they were sold to some Clear Channel like conglomerate.

10. Doesn't Matter...

...which one you use. There aren't Republican or Democrat metabolisms. It doesn't work that way.

I'd consider some of the new hormone-based treatments. I'm about 40 pounds overweight, no health problems yet but I'm sick of being sloppy in a suit. Considering Leptoprin, Cortislim or something like them but nothing ephedra based. The FDA banned it for a reason.

2. I have friends that have used it, they say it gives them gas........

now I know why it makes them FART so much!:evilgrin:

4. Hey, I'll bet a mermaid like you doesn't need Slim-Fast.

:-)

Whoopi will come out on top and how nice that she's on our side. I had started to worry for awhile that she was going to the dark side. (No pun intended.)

5. If you haven't told Slim-Fast yet, you can tell them here.

www.slim-fast.com

Refresh your browser page so they don't assume you're part of the DU "fringe-cult." Then just hit the CONTACT link and shame them and congratulate them on their marketing savvy.

7. thanks

i opened up a brand-new browser window to do this.

Here's what I wrote in their Comments page...

I Will NEVER Use Your Products Again

After the way you did Whoopi Goldberg! How thin a skin do these freaking Republicans have anyway??

and how weak are you to not stand up for Whoopi's roght to express a genuine dislike for the "commander-in-Theif??"

I refuse to use REPUBLICAN Products! You all wouldn't have cared if it was CLINTON she'd made a joke about!!

Screw you!

[countmyvote4real]

15. Oh come on, Merm. Tell them what you really think. ;-)

Nicely put.

My email was much in the same vein, but not quite as passionate. (I have to hold myself back.) It went like this:

I just read that Slim-Fast is dropping the commercial that features Whoopi Goldberg because some remarks she made at a fundraiser for John Kerry may have disappointed some of your customers. They are your customers, it’s your image and you have every right to ensure that it best reflects your company’s ideals.

Just so you know, I now have an irrevocable image of Slim-Fast as a right-wing, fascist product. Either that or you’re a bunch of cowards that have been cowed by GOP brown shirts.

My lips will never touch Slim-Fast again.


I didn't put this in my email to them, but I can't help compare these GOP boycott threats with the tarsts that threaten to behead their hostages. It's very telling that when it comes down to a gruesome death vs. the bottom line of a business, the lost revenue is more compelling than the lost lives. It's so transparent.

9. I'm boycotting all of Unilever's products.

got to remember to keep the list in my wallet so I'll have it handy at the supermarket.

[physioex]

11. Hello Mr. Spock....

Welcome to DU... Live Long and Prosper.... :hi:

[Mr_Spock]

20. Thanks, I'm not really new here

Just had to change my user name due to freepers at my place of employment - but thanks anyway ;)

12. One Of...

...the project managers I work with used to be a factory manager for Unilever in India. Unilever makes soap here and shoes in India, plus other things I'm sure we don't know about.

They don't need us.

13. Do you have the list?

19. Now you're talking!!! And I try never to use any Rush Limbaugh prods

Sometimes I get caught off guard but I am paying more attention to what, where and when I buy. Lot's of things I have learned to do without. I don't use SlimFast so I will purpose to not buy any Unilever products.

[kixot]

16. chill out, tubby.

:eyes:

[lottie244]

21. Here's the site that gives the Unilever brands...some of my favorites

Nevertheless, I'll just stop buying them.

Dove, Lipton ....

[countmyvote4real]

22. Birdseye, Ponds, Knorr, Lipton, Dove, to name a few.

Not all my favorite products, but I am going to miss the Knorr sauces. Oh well, it was a cop out to use them anyway.
