Freeping Works! Lexus to stop advertising on Salon!(Vanity)

Phone call from Lexus VP ^ | 8/19/02 | Drango

[Drango]

Freeping works! I just got off the phone with the VP of Marketing for Lexus...Last week I had sent the following email to the COO of Toyota, their parent company.

Did you know your Lexus division is funding pedophilia, prevision and filth by advertising on the left-wing site Salon? There are countless examples. Check out   http://www.salon.com/mwt/feature/2002/07/22/coming_of_age/index.html?x     As a proud Lexus owner, I'm ashamed that Toyota would be supporting this garbage. Is this the image you want your company to have?

Name Address & phone 

The VP called me today in response! According to him, Lexus is pulling their ads (or not renewing their contract). In part it was because of my email, he said!

Lexus over the years has been one of the largest advertisers at Salon. In a small way I feel I and the others great Freepers here, have helped defund the left.

At the risk of beating a dead horse...here is the contact info for Neiman Marcus one of Salon's newest advertisers:

Check it out, send 'em an email or call 'em!

 

(Note; it got a little lonley out there. When the pedophilia article was first published on Salon, I posted excerpts here. It was pulled as being a bit much for FreeRepublic. I then emailed it to Newsmax, Drudge, Weekely Standard, Andrew Sullivan (hey he should have published it) and a bunch of other sites. Nothing! Not a lot of people pinged my messages, in fact a number of people asked to be taken off my ping list! I felt like I was tilting at a windmill. But today it was all worth it!)

Thanks for the ping. I admire your stick-to-it-ivness.

If we have to do the job one person at a time, we will. It's the Freeper way!

Well Done!

*Note to moderators and those weak at the knees: don't be so quick to pull threads in the future. Sometimes the stuff you don't like is put there for a purpose. The truth isn't always pretty!

I love freepers !

[brat]

Freeping does indeed work! If only we could get more Freepers to give the minute it takes to Freep on an issue. There are so many of us....we'd be a formidable force if all 80,000+ of us focused on a given issue.

Three Cheers!!!!

And you're right, Salon IS disgusting! I'd never given that much thought until I clicked on to that URL just now.

EEEWWW!!!! YUCK!!!! BARF ALERT!!

[syriacus]

Your persistence paid off in a big way!!
Congratulations!

[CounterCounterCulture]

Woohoooooo! You da man!

EXCELLENT work, my FRiend!
This is like a stake in their rotten little heart.

BTW, is their stock under 10 cents yet? Heh heh.

[Caipirabob]

You Freepin' RULE!

*grin*

Enjoy that ride... : )

[alnick]

Good job! Thanks for being persistent.

BTW, is their stock under 10 cents yet? Heh heh.

They can only dream of such heights. Last trade was 6 cents per share.

Out-FReepin'-standing!

[Tempest]

Your awesome dude!

Like I've always said. It does nothing to boycott these liberal indocternation sites or media outlets. The most effective way to get them to listen up is to go directly to their sponsers and let them know why they (the sponser) will be the target of your boycott.

If there were more grassroots people like you, the world would be a better place.

[Khepera]

I just sent a scathing letter to Absolut.com for their ad on that page.

Last trade was 6 cents per share.

Damn!

Pretty soon 100 shares won't buy a Starbucks mocha latte. My heart is breaking.

How the mighty have fallen!

[tictoc]

Nice work, Drango!

I couldn't read more than a few paragraphs of the pederast's article. Sickening. Maybe now that Salon is about to go belly up, they have thrown all pretense to the winds... like Saddam firing off his Scuds as the cruise missiles hone in on him.

Salon did have one (1) good feature, the Mr. Blue advice column written by Garrison Keillor. But that was discontinued more than a year ago.

$2.50? It is a deal!
