also when seen in stores, move them from check stands, turn them around, "accidentally" have them fall and then step on them with muddy shoes etc, you get the picture!

In reality, probably any Enquirer boycott should target chains which carry them rather than the Enquirer itself.

(17,640 posts)I showed them what was for sale and told them they were selling poison. If it was poison food, they would pull it. Why are they not pulling this poison off their shelves?
Obvious lies. Seriously ugly.
They did. Not all of them, but 3/4. It took several times and I only asked to speak to them when the covers where provably false.
I recommend it, as long as you can treat the staff and management reasonably.

This was 40+ years ago, though.
