Dear Greg XXXXXXX ,
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.
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,
Jennifer Mclean Consumer Services Representative
If you wish to show your appreciation to them contact Kathi Ekler at:
keckler@slimfast.com
It's a form letter they are sending out.
So what...it gets the job done.
Whoopi is a hell of an actress. My white assed appreciation of her ran out over this episode, however. Now, if only she and Ted Danson can get it on again, and she will take up a christian name, just for a few months, don't you know, I might just be found trippin back to see her next whatever.
She is a bit over the hill for me to be interested in her bush.
However, it does reflect the views and opinions of the President of Slim-Fast, who donates thousands to the DNC.
I got one too. Pretty good damage control. I don't use the stuff but if I get fat i'll start.
Take THAT whoopii! You mindless slut.
If you REALLY want to show your appreciation, though, might I suggest buying some SlimFast?
Even if you don't need it or use it, you probably know somebody who does or you could donate it to your local food bank.
Trust me, I KNOW they will find somebody who can use a few cans.
It's been posted about a dozen times in the last 2 days.
Whew, now I don't have to boycott Unilever products such as Dove soap.
Whoopie and Sting are today's version of Zsa-Zsa ... exactly WHY are they famous??????????
Their job is showing up at awards shows. They're big time celebs, I guess. Why? Uh .... ROXANNE was a cool minor hit 25 yrs ago. GHOST was good for a chick flick.
Now, they're superstars and I should care what they do?
I want to hire their agents!
LOL! No wonder Larry King didn't want the creep on his show, he'd have to fumigate the chair, the dressing room, the entire studio.
And millions to 527 organizations.
Quite true.
She can be funny at times, but so are alot of other comedians, and when she's not funny she's just crass. Generally I found on those Live Aid or whatever they were shows, she was way out of her league with Williams and Crystal. She was pretty good in Ghost though.
I got the same email tonight.
They are probably tired of hearing us complain. So they just fire off a form email.
Not to mention, ugly as sin!

All I can say is 'wow.'
