Ignore Sarah Palin Week! (2/28-3/4)
We've tried debating her, arguing with her, boycotting her, voting against her, and yet... she keeps coming back. Much like a vampire or a nasty fungus.

So for just one week, we're going to try something new: Ignoring her.

That's right -- February 28-March 4 is officially, "Ignore Sarah Palin Week." For just one week, signers of this petition pledge to do the following:

Change the channel if she comes on TV
Surf to another page if she pops up on the web
Turn to another article if she appears in a newspaper, magazine, comic book, etc.
Will you join us? Will you take the pledge? If so, sign the pledge in the right-hand column, add your thoughts if you want, and help spread the word. Can we ignore her for a week? Can we get our friends, neighbors and co-workers to do the same? You betcha!

1. Hm. Seems a bit ironic. Sort of self defeating -- organizing a week to ignore someone.

2. I would think it's just the same as any other organized boycott.

6. The serious events occuring in the world illuminate her silliness.
So embarrassing that she's been discussed as a presidential candidate.

7. We need a week for that?
I've been ignoring the Republicans since 2009. If the WH had done the same, we might be further along.

8. Why not just start ignoring her now and do that forever, not just a week.

She's not worth it. Hopefully, others will follow suit!
