Boycotting Slim-Fast

Slim-Fast has announced that it’s dropping Whoopi Goldberg as a spokesperson after her comments about GW Bush:
Florida-based Slim-Fast said it was "disappointed" in Goldberg's remarks at last Thursday's $US7.5 million fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall in New York.

"Ads featuring Ms Goldberg will no longer be on the air," Slim-Fast General Manager Terry Olson said in a statement.

I’ve got a box or two of Slim-Fast bars in the pantry, but I won’t be buying more after those are gone. Plenty more brands of meal-replacement bars out there I can buy that aren’t manufactured by pro-Bush companies.

It's not so much pro-Bush as anti-controversy. And Slim-Fast's parent company is Unilever, so you might want to check up on their rather extensive product line.
