I'm eating a Sinclair-free Burger King Whopper. Ask me anything...
...as long as you don't mind onion-breath answers. (I got my Whopper with light lettuce and extra onions--special orders don't upset them.)

2. I miss burgers
*sigh*

I will have them again some day.

For me it's light on the mayo, extra pickles.

10. Agreed, although of the two, McDonalds burgers are better.

9. Yes, because they are certified Sinclair smear job-free.
They are far less greasy than the uncertified kind.

8. Another whopper -- you've been had -- they will air the day after
I usually end my boycott letters with ....

anything short of severing the <advertiser here>/Sinclair relationship permanently and publicly shall be treated as an act of complicity with the Sinclair disgrace.

Is that clear?

11. I'm sure you're right...
...but they made a public statement against what Sinclair is doing, and that counts for something.

What Lesson I have learned from this incident with advertisers is that we have to be very specific about our demands:
As I stated on OCT 4 in http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=1027424
we must be very clear in our demands with the advertisers, otherwise they will out-maneuvre us.... The Revolution has begun ... and IT IS televised!!!
