Boycott Boycotts!
Over the course of time man has utilized the boycott to make a point. Some points good some points bad. Recently I posted a video on my YouTube page that was a tribute to the now closed Kiddieland.
The video has been viewed over 300 times. Yesterday one viewer left the following comment;
While I respect this person's passion about the closing of Kiddieland, I have no plans to boycott Costco. Two reasons why;

"There are rumors costco bought the land that was once kiddieland
BOYCOTT COSTCO! "

While I respect this person's passion about the closing of Kiddieland, I have no plans to boycott Costco. Two reasons why;
- It's not Costco's fault Kiddieland is closing
- I don't have a Costco membership
Kiddieland's LAND owners wanted to sell their land instead of renewing the lease to the Kiddieland PARK owners. Sadly, they are all the same family. Greed got in the way.
But then I started to think about other boycotts. Good ones.
I'm not a fan of PETA so I'm not going to purposely boycott fur. However, I don't normally wear fur coats for two reasons;

- So as not to be mistaken for a bear
- So as not to be mistaken for a pimp
(Granted either are rarely seen in wheelchairs.)
I was led to the Ethical Consumer website which lists many boycotts. This site has so many boycotts it is really hard to choose a good one.
So I did more research.
I found;
Boycott Cheetos
Boycott Letterman (This site does a poor job telling us why.)
Boycott Whole Foods (Owner doesn't want healthcare reform.)
I really couldn't find a boycott I could really get behind. All boycotts are important to the organizers and I respect their voices.
I just hope the boycotters have a clear focus on who or what they are boycotting for.
I guess I would be boycotting bad boycotts.
Stand with me people and do nothing, for a change!

So you want us to boycott boycotts?
Please do not read the Boycott Cheetos link. My husband has worked for Frito-Lay for 30 years and we really love Cheetos and he really loves his job. Have to clean my keyboard now.
I'm afraid it's the clear platform shoes with the goldfish inside that make you look like a pimp...
If memory serves me correctly, and it usually does, did you not boycott a fast food establishment because of a rumor that they were selling drugs and hence none of the places were worthy?
Does any boycott work?
The shoessss, thanks. I never thought about the shoes.
I'm boycotting cable.
I never boycott food.
I didn't want people to boycott Cheetos. I love Cheetos, and cheese puffs, and cheese balls, cheese chips, sour cream & onion chips, BBQ chips, regular chips, dipping chips, fritos, chilli cheese fritos, BBQ fritos, Doritos, Doors.
Boycott liberals.
Boycott using your real name. Anonymous posts at 5:50pm here and CFandL posts at 5:51pm four posts back. Coincidence? You decide.
jeffie needs to get another hobby or a maybe a girlfriend.
tara, i'm with you, i canceled my cable about 15 years ago, so by my calculation's that's about $3,600 i saved (15years x 12months x $20 (conservative estimate of basic cable).
cha ching!
and when i say "saved" i mean spent on fast food mostly.
If Jeff had a hobby he might not have time to read my blog.
I can't afford to lose any readers.
Busting conservative chops is my hobby. Making it hard for the right wing dumbass nation to spew their lies and filth is my lady love. I read Mark's blog everyday. I love it.
Still the best...

I see jeffie didn't answer my question about having a girlfriend.
Figures.
You didn't ask me if I had a girlfriend, dumbass...and it's Jeffy not Jeffie..you know like Punky, not Punkie...
Ok, jeffie:
Do you have a girlfriend?
And if you do is she an idiot or heavily medicated?
Why do you want to know? Are you cruising for some dick? I don't swing that way, but good hunting. I hope you find someone.
You wish. Just curious to see if there is someone that desperate out there. I mean, being a liberal superhero takes all of one's time.
