For the next few days, I'm boycotting everything. Except the stuff I like.

What do you boycott?

I've boycotted Sony, in it's entirety.

This means I even make sure that my DVD players and drives don't use Sony pickups.

I've replaced sony headphones and my discman.

Pretty much over the past few years they have annoyed me way too much.

You didn't miss anything, trust me. I had to put up with that movie twice...honestly I'd rather watch another one of those stupid gigantic (insert animal here) marathons that sci-fi runs when they run out of stuff to air....and considering how I send many, many email complaints to them everytime they do that, you can imagine how lowly I rate Craptanic.

Why heinz? They contribute lots of money to anti gun organizations. By the way, I will never make any reasonable effort to spell Ketchup company names. They are the ones who use imbecile spellings.:D

As you no doubt recall, we've discussed that before, and as was discussed, they were bought out by a pro-gun American owner about 7 years ago.

Yes, but they were boycotted.

I suppose I might have boycotted them if I hadn't been a pre-teen at the time. Come to think of it, I do boycott S&W because I hate revolvers and their "Performance Center" line of 1911's is way to pricey. Still, if I liked revolvers I'd probably have a S&W. They are the best revolver company out there for the money.

Any food with high fructose corn syrup as an ingredient.

Chocolate that isn't guaranteed not to be harvested by child slave labor. (It acutally narrows my choices down to the good stuff.)

I quit shopping in the WholeFoods for three years, and it is less than fifty yards from my shop. But now I get breakfast there, only, because if you work the breakfast hotbar right, they don't make any money.
I also quit Blockbuster for more than ten years, then joined up to work their discount program until I got every free movie I could and worked them A to Z. Now I am on NetFlix, WAY BETTER.

So what's the deal with Whole Foods, besides that they are incredibly expensive?

Mwuahah. I'm doing that with Pearl Harbor also. Somebody gave me the vhss for that the movie and I hid them away so nobody could ever find them.

I am boycotting Wal-mart here in houston only because they're over crowded here. I miss being able to actually shop for food for 25 bucks. Other food chains charge 50-100 bucks for same food with 1/3 the choices. I still have yet to find a grocery store 1/2 the size of the wal-mart.

Umm because they are super expensive?
I spent like 50 bucks and like ended walking out with a bit of vegetables that rotted within 1/2 a week.
