HAHA!
Christian Family Group Ends Disney Boycott
The Rev. Tim Wildmon announced Tuesday that his American Family Assn. has decided to end its nine-year-old boycott of the Walt Disney Co. Wildmon indicated that he was not calling off the boycott because of any fundamental changes in Disney's policies, but because "there are so many other issues we need to move on to and deal with that are taking our time and energy." In a statement on the group's website, Wildmon added, "If you're going to call for a boycott of a company -- if something has become that serious -- you need to have all your resources behind it." Industry analysts had said that the boycott had had absolutely no impact on Disney's earnings.
These are the kinds of stories I LOVE. All these Bible-up-your-ass people think a boycott of any one company will bring said company to their knees. Umm, heads up, guys. IT DOES NOT WORK. Maybe with something smaller like, say, feminine needs, sure, it might work. But Disney ain't going down because some "American Family Association" fools stop watching Disney movies, stop buying Disney products, stop viewing ABC and the ESPN stations. Please. Consider the number of people in this association: three, maybe four, max.
And nine years...good lord. You think someone would have gotten the clue during year one.
