This is in responce to the dixie chicks commnets made while they were in a foriegn country. I see on your site that you are sponsoring the concerts and make it possible for them to go to a foriegn nation to protest our president and the upcoming war. I have friends as well as family in the gulf right now waiting to go to war. When the bullets start flying and the bodies start hitting the floor it very well maybe a direct family member of mine that is killed or a close personal friend.
So i will no longer be purchasing any of your products until you pull your sponsorship of the dixie chicks and im not kidding if I haveto go the rest of my life never buying a lipton product or a unilever product that is fine with me when I hear that you canceled all financial support of the dixie chicks i will start buying lipton tea again until then Luzianne Tea is fine with me
This is the responce i got back yesterday
Dear:
Thanks so much for writing!
We are writing in response to your comments regarding our sponsorship of the Dixie Chicks, "Top of the World Tour". We certainly apologize and are grateful you have chosen to share your thoughts.
As a manufacturer we feel it is a major responsibility to provide our friends and consumers with the most creative and entertaining means of sponsorship possible.
We have a long history of presenting "tasteful" advertising, promotional, and sponsorship efforts to the public. We certainly do not wish to offend anyone. In developing our promotional efforts, Unilever and its agencies may not always anticipate all possible implications of a specific campaign.
We will certainly forward your comments to the Marketing staff. Consumer comments are very important and evaluated on a regular basis.
We do thank you for your interest!
Your friends at Unilever Bestfoods North America
