LOL Freeps boycott SlimFast because of Whoopi! SlimFast is DNC friendly!
GOPERS WANT WHOOPI'S 'FAST' EXIT

July 13, 2004 -- WASHINGTON — Some Republican activists are launching a boycott of SlimFast diet products to protest SlimFast spokeswoman Whoopi Goldberg's X-rated rant against President Bush at a New York fund-raiser for Democrat John Kerry last week.

Chat pages on pro-Bush Web sites like FreeRepublic.com are posting links for complaints to SlimFast or parent company Unilever, along with reports from angry consumers about what they wrote in their complaints.

And we saw what happened with that....

I'll contact Slim Fast, though, to give them my support.

9. Thanks for posting. This is my email to Slim-Fast
"This is (still) a Democracy and people have the right to voice their opinions.

Please do NOT listen to those right-wing extremist who threaten to boycott Slim-Fast if you don't get rid of Whoopi as your spokes person. They certainly do NOT account for 50% of your consumers.

Could you please let me know what products besides Slim-Fast you produce, so I can support your company by buying more of your products.

Thanks for supporting Democracy."

I haven't used Slim-Fast in quite a while but hope to find out what other products come from them. I'll make an extra effort to buy their stuff.

11. BTW, who are they fooling?
I've seen freeper pics. You can't boycott a product you don't use in the first place.
