more from the anti-Rock Star/Russ Weiner page:
“Rock Star is a family business. Michael helped formulate the drink, drawing on his long-time background as as a botanist and herbalist. Wife and mother, Janet Weiner handles Rock Stars finances. Russell has toured with his father, helping to promote his father’s extreme beliefs. By all accounts, he seems to share these beliefs enthusiastically. Consider the following excerpt from a Salon article. The article covers a performance last spring at the local Concord Pavilian.

America’s laziest fascist
Salon, May 20, 2004
http://archive.salon.com/news/feature/2004/05/20/savage/print.html

“Savage’s son, Russ Weiner, kicked off the show. With his spiky, dyed-orange hair and calculated scruffiness, he was reminiscent of Dr. Evil’s son Scott from the Austin Powers movies. The resemblance was confirmed when Weiner proclaimed, “I’m proud to be the son of Savage!” The 30-something Weiner is the founder of RockStar, an energy drink that he developed with his dad, drawing on Savage’s previous career as a Marin County herbalist and ethnobotanist named Michael Weiner. RockStar’s herbal liver-cleansing formula is supposed to enable drinkers to “party like a rock star,” which presumably means drinking and doping. Generous free samples had been passed out to the crowd on the way in. It lived up to its hype: The antifreeze-colored, cough-syrup-flavored beverage can only be enjoyed if you’re taking drugs.”

From the Facism Cola website..

I'm not conducting a boycott, or looking for anything from you. This is just an informal educational campaign. I keep a couple of these in my car, so that when I see someplace selling Rock Star Energy Drink, I can use this article to help explain who the family behind the company is. I think once you have the background, you'll not wish to drink or sell this company's products. Besides, there are so many energy drinks on the market that you could easily get by without this one.

Yep, not calling for a boycott or anything... I just don't want you to sell or stock it. Yep, true leftist convoluted thing there!
