Well, QVC drops a segment with Jane Fonda because a couple of callers   
   
complained about her trip over 40 years ago to Hanoi...


NEW YORK (AP) -- Jane Fonda says she's been banished from QVC amid concerns about her political past. The network says it was a routine programming change.

Fonda was set to appear on the home-shopping channel on Saturday to promote her new book on aging, "Prime Time." But the day before, she learned her segment had been cancelled.

In a statement posted on her website, Fonda says QVC told her of receiving "a lot of calls" from viewers criticizing her opposition to the Vietnam War and threatening to boycott the show if she was allowed to appear.

http://tv.msn.com/tv/article.aspx?news=659076&affid=100...

This pissed me off. So I sent an EMail to QVC...

A few right wing fanatics call your show and suddenly Jane Fonda, one of the greatest American Actresses of the last half century, is off your network?

You think her presence on your network demeans your brand.

Whether you know it or nor there are many real Americans out here who believe in the freedom of expression. You are doing yourself a disservice because your demographic is getting old and soon will be out of the consumer stream. The next generation that comes along will have no use for your political capitulation.

Dummies hate it when they figure out they are a small minority. All their boycotts never amounted to shit. When ordinary people... read conservatives... take the same action shit gets done.

Conservatives killed the Dixie Chicks careers through boycotting their music and calling radio stations.

The reason our boycotts work is, we are more likely to be the ones spending money and financing whatever company in the cross hairs than a bunch of DUmmies who probably wouldn't buy the product anyway, unless it is Cheetos.

DUers - constantly on the side of the enemy or those who support our enemies.

Hanoi Jane
The Iraq "insurgency"
Fidel Castro
The terrorists at Gitmo
Bradley Manning
Hugo Chavez
Bill Ayers
Hezbollah
John Walker Lindh
Richard Reid
etc.
etc.
etc.

All at one time or another ardently supported by DUers. Yet they bristle, or at least pretend to, when it is suggested that they hate America. Well you are known by the company you keep.

Nah.  The Dickhead Chicks killed their own careers when they didn't "shut up and sing" and completely misread or just plain ignored the political affiliations of 90% of their fan base.

The other two were right there with her, at the expense of their own careers. With that being said, they are definitely in my top ten list of music groups that committed publicity seppuku. (Number one is the former lead singer of 4 Non-Blondes who killed the band's career in one move - she performed at a PITA benefit wearing leather.)

In order to have an affect one must be of concern to the company.

When the drunken whore randy roads (I don't give a shit how her name is spelled) made that hilarious little skit about assassinating GW Bush, HP/Agilent was running ads on errAmerica. At the time we were buying about $400,000 of their high end analyzers and meters a year. I made a call to the local distributor and said that if HP was going to support errAmerica then I would be looking to sub all their equipment. I got a call from the VP of sales western division that afternoon assuring me that HP had pulled all of their ads and that there was no need to go to our second sources. From the conversation, I learned that I was not the only one making their displeasure known to HP.

If I had been a DUchebag that didn't buy from HP, my threat would not have gone a millimeter at HP.

Uh, the other side does it worse than we ever did.

How about the very long list of conservative personalities and celebrities who got axed from media and advertising money because the other side whined and complained and threatened to boycott?

Does Phyllis Schlafly ring a bell?  And how about Anita Bryant?

I'm sure the list is miles long.

They do it worse than we ever did.
