'Boycott The Boss' Ad To Air

[pinkpops]

Should have expected this, of course:



"A spokesman for O'Grady, Howard Lim, would not say how much the Long Island's ophthalmologist's campaign was spending on the commercial, in which she says, "I stand with President Bush and it's time to tame the liberal elite."

1. For an American, that's like cutting off your ear.

2. I actually heard a CNN newsreader refer to the individuals and groups

as "former music legends." How can you be a former legend?

3. Hah hah!

4. "Time to Tame the Liberal Elite"

Aw, honey, we ain't even started yet.

5. I have tickets

To see Springsteen, REM, and Tracy Chapman on Friday in Orlando.

It is kind of odd that there are still tickets available. I bought mine late, but I remember when Springsteen alone would sell out 2 shows in an hour.

As for boycotts, I'm not a country music fan, but I'll be buying some Dixie Chicks CD's pretty soon.

6. Just how successful have they been?

Calls for boycott on Fahrenheit 9/11 - film grosses $120 million in the U.S.

Calls for boycott of French wines - French wine sales in 2003 hit record levels. Total French imports hit record level in 2003.

Calls for boycott of Dixie Chicks - Record sales are not affected, concert tour sold out at all U.S. stops.


Bring it on.

8. Just more free publicity for our side! n/t

7. Where are the headliners

lining up to play concerts for Chimp/Cheney? Oh, I forgot. There aren't any.

9. Yeah! That's like asking us to boycott...

taking a crap.
