1. Great list
I don't use many of these companies/products but I do use UPS, Tylenol, and National Geographic, and you can bet they're all going to hear from me.

9. I've always wondered that myself.
I mean really--commercials for postage stamps? You HAVE TO buy them! It's like advertising bipedal locomotion or something. I don't get it.

18. Sure, I've seen those.
And they make more sense. But I've definitely seen ads for stamps too -- and they've been around long before you could buy them online. Maybe for collectors? I don't know. I'm sure it must drive revenue somehow.

30. And it's not like we can boycott them.
Though sometimes I'd like to. The junk mail! It never ends.

Beck disses many of their scientific efforts. Doesn't make sense.

27. From Wikipedia
In the United States, National Geographic Channel, launched in January 2001, is a joint venture of National Geographic Television & Film and Fox Cable Networks. National Geographic provides programming expertise and the Fox Networks Group provides its expertise on distribution, marketing, and ad sales.

That explains that.

7. I support Glen Beck!
Actually, I think he helps:

1. de-legitimize Fox News.
2. Make the republican party look retarded.
3. Tell us which companies don't have a conscience.

Go Glen Go!
:sarcasm:

I can mark them off my list of places to get contacts! Thanks Pearle Vision!

11. Pearl Vision replied to my e-mail
My e-mail:

Are you aware that during a cable show, that you advertise on, Glenn Beck was shown encouraging a faux Nancy Pelosi (Speaker of the House) to drink a glass of wine that he had poisoned? He was laughing/giggling, telling her to drink up? I have a problem with talk show hosts encouraging the death of elected leaders. I am disappointed that Pearle Vision still advertises on this cable show. I will never buy anything from Pearl Vision again.

Their reply:




Hello (my name),

Thank you for contacting Pearle Vision with your feedback.

I sincerely regret that you were offended by our commercial. As a national advertiser, we purchase advertising on specific channels. Unfortunately, we are not made aware of the exact programming slotted to air, or network changes.

Please accept my personal apology that you were offended. Pearle Vision remains committed to serving the needs of our customers and their families.

I’ll forward your comments to the Marketing department. Your opinion, whether good or bad, is valuable to us and helps us improve. I’m grateful to you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us.

Sincerely,

Jennifer
Customer Relations Specialist

I'm hoping that if they receive more letters that they will reconsider.

13. we are not made aware?...
isn't that exactly what you were doing?

they are damn well aware now - they just don't give a fuck

Ironic - a company that helps people see is so blind

10. Subaru? I'm not feeling the love. Apple? Well, Beck does think different I guess.
Viagra, now that makes sense.

16. To show my contempt for Beck I will not be buying a Mercedes Benz
And I won't be having any meals at Red Lobster, Golden Corral or Applebee;s.

There! I've done my part.

20. Maybe I should've used the sarcasm thingy
First of all I can't afford a fucking Mercedes Benz.

Secondly I wouldn't eat the cardboard food at those ptomaine palaces.

So viola! I demonstrate my support for a progressive cause by not doing shit I wouldn't have done anyway.

My point? Talk is cheap.

21. not much of a point...
yes I got that you can't afford a mercedes
and that you think these places are shit was strongly implied
but pressure to other advertisers on his show has forced his suspension

talk is actually worth something in this case

23. UPS - plans to change the contract as soon as they are able.
UPS sent me an email explaining their ad contract is with Premier Radio Networks. When their 3 yr contract is up in March 2010 they plan to demand changes that stipulate their ads can not be run during any politically oriented talk radio shows and that they regretting not including this stipulation in the previous contract.

24. More advertisers to add to this list

Carbonite online backup - I'm told from an inside source that they are a brand NEW advertiser for his web site, and also work with Rush Limbaugh too... Who would want to put their secure data backed up such a site anyway? Probably a direct pipe into Cheney's minions in the CIA or the NSA!

28. I wonder if this would be a frame from a personal Beck testimonial ad!
Oh wait, that would probably be more likely be someplace on his head instead of his feet.
