Shut the FOX up!
Maybe we should all buy one of these just as a message.

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.

Priced at JUST $8.95, the FOXBlocker is a wonderful way of telling the advertisers at FOX News that you are no longer interested in being exposed to right wing propaganda.

With every order placed, FOXBlocker.com will send an e-mail in your name to the TOP 10 advertisers at FOX News letting them know that yet another subscriber has opted out of FOX News. With a little luck and a lot of volume, we can shut the FOX up!

1. interesting, but kinda useless
Fox News won't care how many people who buy this device. They're not losing viewers since these people weren't watching Fox anyway. Good way to scam people out of $8.95 plus shipping though.

3. Kewl, thanks
for posting this. I think I may just have to get one!

I wonder if we could get them to add another email to your local cable company telling them that you have purchased a foxblocker to protect your family from rightwing hate media?

:hi:

4. why not just organize a boycott of fox's biggest advertisers
Seems like that'd be a bit more effective. Do we really need fox blocker when we don't watch fox news anyway? Just a suggestion.
