Pepsi email reply to my boycott email, Sinclair Broadcasting
They don't sound very happy about Sinclair's decision!


Hello!
Thank you for taking the time to contact us at PepsiCo. Accurate and
balanced journalism is important to us, and we appreciate your thoughts
regarding Sinclair Broadcasting Group's upcoming plans.
We have no national advertising buys scheduled with Sinclair
Broadcasting, nor do we plan to advertise on the program in question.
We will also make our bottlers aware of this situation and share these
concerns so they can take them into consideration as they plan their
local marketing efforts. We will follow the resolution of this issue
closely.

Given your concerns, we also would suggest that you communicate your
views directly to Sinclair Broadcasting Group's President and Chief
Executive Officer, David D. Smith. He can be contacted at Sinclair
Broadcasting Group, 10706 Beaver Dam Road, Hunt Valley, MD 21030, or
via email at comments@sbgi.net
Again, many thanks for bringing this to our attention. We value your
comments, and equally, the constructive spirit in which they are
offered.

-Pepsi-Cola Company

2. Ignore that e-mail they gave...
It's a stalling tactic to take the heat off the advertisers so they can delete them at the Sinclair office. Keep contacting the advertisers directly.

7. Don't waste your time...
They won't even read your e-mail. They WILL listen if their advertisers complain, so keep harassing them.

8. He's the guy who was arrested getting a blow job from a prostitute
in Baltimore! Maybe we could ask him about that? :evilgrin: Should we call him on his "family values?"

9. I just emailed him.
I wonder how many emails he's received? That's a new email address, I think. It's not one I've seen before.
