Base personal gratification before political action
No More Mr Nice Blog mentions an incipient boycott of Pepsi (like hiring Britney Spears wasn't enough) because they fired Ludacris (bad language) for Ozzy (bad f*****g language).
Obviously, this is hypocrisy on Pepsi's part -- but remember that Pepsi dropped Ludacris only after being browbeaten by Fox News blowhard Bill O'Reilly (who, as G. Beato pointed out last year, published a quite racy novel in 1998 and is thus also a hypocrite).
Simmons and his group should apply the pressure where it belongs -- on Fox. Fox's big-budget movie Daredevil opens a week from Friday. Simmons should announce a boycott of this and everything else Fox produces
Much as I would like to agree with Steve.... but....but.... Daredevil's Jennifer Gardner in tight leather clothes? Like I'm going to pass on that?
Let's just boycott Pepsi.
