Whoopie's Gone...
Slim-Fast | July 14, 2004 | Hildy

Posted on 07/14/2004 5:20:35 PM PDT by Hildy

I did a search and didn't see anyone else post it. So here it is. Just received this from Slim-Fast:

Dear Hildy Linn ,

Thank you for contacting us recently about our use of Whoopi Goldberg, specifically regarding her remarks made at the recent fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall. The manner in which Ms. Goldberg chose to express her personal beliefs at this event do not reflect the views and values of Slim·Fast Foods Company.

Slim·Fast selected Whoopi Goldberg as its spokesperson because of her commitment to losing weight, which we applaud.

We are disappointed by the manner in which Ms. Goldberg chose to express herself and sincerely regret that her recent remarks offended you. Advertisements featuring Ms. Goldberg will no longer be on air.

We appreciate you sharing your views with us and we hope you will continue to use Slim·Fast as your partner in healthy weight management.

Sincerely,

Shelby Mahan
Rep

The headline should read: "Slim-Fast Loses 135 Pounds of Ugly Fat....Dumps Whoopie"

Actually, they deserve our support for having dumped the b*tch.

I think I'll write themn thanking them and letting them know I'll still consider using their products (I don't now).

Trouble is that the CEO of Slim Fast has donated millions to the defeat of President Bush.

Whoopie certainly did speak for him!

Years ago she worked at a restaurant here doing dishes.
At the rate she is going she may end up there if she is
lucky.

And that would be a bad thing. I'd like to see their sales increase after Goldberg's departure which will say that the company listened to it's customers and responded positively.

This is too good to make up...

Comedian Whoopi Goldberg will no longer appear in ads for diet aid maker Slim-Fast following her lewd riff on President George W. Bush's name at a fund-raiser last week, the company said on July 14, 2004.  Florida-based Slim-Fast said it was 'disappointed' in Goldberg's remarks at last Thursday's $7.5 million star-studded fund-raiser at Radio City Music Hall in New York.  Goldberg is seen in an ad for Slim Fast's 'Big Loser' campaign in a picture released December 30. (Slim Fast Foods/Reuters)
