Shut the FOX up.
Send A Message To The Advertisers At FOX

Purchasing a FOX Blocker and telling the advertisers at FOX News why you did it will encourage advertisers spending their money somewhere else.

If we band together and tell the advertisers to shut the FOX up, we can help limit the scope, or at least the profitability of FOX News.

1. Can't we just have the e-mails of those 10 sponsors instead?

$8.95 for a shiny gimmick that only a mynah bird would find useful is a bit much.

Forgive me, my sardonic humor, but I don't see how that can filter out one channel - one channel that could be any channel depending on cable provider.

It'd be easier to call the cable company directly.

2. The link didn't work
You left off the www. Anyway, thanks for the link. I have written to FOX advertisers many times but they don't get the message. If a lot of us let them know we have purchased one of these, they will have to get it.

3. each time you buy it
the company sends a notice to Fox that someone has blocked their channel. That alone is worth te 8.95 to me!

6. interesting, but in my cable box, I can block any channel I want already.

. although I like the idea that it emails FOX is rather funny.

FOX free household!
