Does anyone know who the sponsors of the Simpson special are yet? Is there a list I can access?
I have every intention of boycotting every sponsor that funds this piece of garbage.

How exactly do you object before the fact?
Duff Brewing Company.
QuickieMart.
Moe's Tavern.

The Springfield nuclear plant
Since I haven't watched the show in a while....what am I missing here? I hate being out of the loop.
Laramie Cigarettes.
Dear, wake up dear. (shake shake) You're sleepwalking again. He's talking about OJ, not Bart!
:D
"You're sleepwalking again. He's talking about OJ, not Bart!"
Wrong Simpson? DOH!
My perfume, a Chanel-made product, is French, so are some of my make-up products. I've used these for years and just because the French weenies don't support the U.S. --in anything--doesn't mean I won't buy them.
Boycotts are never on my mind when purchasing personal items. I have neither the time nor the inclination to question myself (or anyone) when paying for them either.
Period.
Airing without ads, I've heard.
Several Fox stations say they won't air the OJ special "If I Did It Here's How It Happened"

>>Media companies that own Fox stations are mulling this weekend whether to direct their stations to run or to preempt the Simpson interview
Two Fox employees weigh in:
Bill O'Reilly:
"I'm not going to watch the Simpson show or even look at the book. If any company sponsors the TV program, I will not buy anything that company sells - ever."
Geraldo Rivera: (the book is) "appalling. I will bash this project every minute I have the opportunity to bash this project."
The Simpsons was okay its first season, getting good its second, and was one of the best shows ever from its third to maybe tenth seasons. Unfortunately, for the last seven or eight years it's been getting worse and worse. Now it's not even as good as shows like "The Single Guy." I want to remember it as it was--alas, now the crummy episodes have taken over the syndication market.
You mean, just because the French traded weapons used against our troops for Iraq and Iranian oil, you wouldn't give up your stinky French perfume? My goodness, you'd buy lampshades made of human skin from the Nazis if they pleased you, wouldn't you? Some people are beyond the pale.
