Exxon... Still. ...
ReplyDeleteE! TV Network for the most part.
ReplyDeleteI still can't bring myself to buy Exxon (and now Mobil since they merged) gas after the Exxon Valdez spill in 89. And I'm not even an environmentalist but that pissed me off.
ReplyDeleteAnything Lilo's in (except gossip).
ReplyDeleteCDaN
ReplyDeleteExcessively cheap clothing stores eg Primark. I often think about boycotting Nestle but haven't quite got there yet. Oh and the Sun newspaper.
ReplyDeleteI loathe to buy BP even during an emergency
ReplyDeleteEvery thing about Lohan ,the Kardashians and Courtney Stodden
ReplyDeleteAll Smithfield products.
ReplyDeleteFacebook.
ReplyDeleteHahaha, I was gna put that FSP!
I do my best to boycott clothes and shoes not made in the U.S. but it's really difficult to do.
ReplyDeleteBack in the 80's I boycotted products from South Africa when they still had Apartheid.
ReplyDeleteComputer animated movies. Only hand-drawn animation for me!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! ;-)
DeleteSafeway and Kmart they treat and pay their employees shit so that's the kind of service you get so I'll go else where.
ReplyDeleteAnything connected to those evil Koch brothers if I can help it.
ReplyDeleteI've posted this before:
I downloaded an app called "buycott". You scan the barcode of any product you're thinking of purchasing (or have in your cupboard) and it tells you information about the company, like if they're against GMO labeling. It's free for android and iOS devices. I now must decide between Diet Coke and social conscience. :/
Buycott App
Chicken Livers, Liver, Shrimp, Beets, and even when living in LA The Clippers!
ReplyDeleteI meant Walmart but Kmart works too. Oh and btw my husband works for Nestle..yes they are horrible too.
ReplyDeleteWoody Allen movies.
ReplyDeleteAwesome app!! Thanks @7!!
ReplyDeleteAnd Monsanto, obvi
ReplyDeleteand cable tv. why do you have to watch commercials if you pay to subscribe?
ReplyDeleteand facebook
ReplyDeleteExxon and BP,which leaves me with Chevron.
ReplyDeleteAmong a few others, I boycott Roman Polanski and Nivea products, for their BS ad campaigns.
ReplyDeleteWoody Allen films.
ReplyDeleteSince I just caught up with all of my bills, I'm boycotting absolutely everything until my next paycheck is deposited.
ReplyDeleteSeriously - any entity that allies itself with extreme right wing, super religious organizations. Christian Coalition, One Million Moms, Family Research Council, folks like that. They have the most frightening, practical impact on my life.
OH I hate Monsanto too, I'm big supporter of Organics. If you live in bay area, ca try itsorganic.com great company love it and its affordable. Not sure if they are else where in the country.
ReplyDeleteDerek Harvey
ReplyDelete*runs*
Has anyone seen any traces of him since the apology tour? Wait! Is he boycotting CDaN?
DeleteOmg, Wig!
ReplyDeleteAnytime I walk into Kmart, my soul hurts.
Any Pet store that sells animals. Also Walmart.
ReplyDeleteI came here thinking I don't boycott anything but then after reading the list of responses, I realize that I do boycott quite a bit. It's just so natural I don't think of it.
ReplyDeleteTyson Chicken
Nestle
Monsanto
Woody and Roman
@P, what is the deal with Smithfield products? And what do they make? I seem to think it's chicken but not sure?
Love that link, thank you!
ReplyDeleteNo Kmart of Walmart near me so I don't need to boycott!
Monsanto and Koch bros. Research what companies Monsanto owns, you'll be amazed.
Chik-Fil-A. And I love their chicken nuggets, waffle fries, and lemonade, so it IS a sacrifice.
ReplyDeleteMe, too, AKM. Chick-Fil-A & also Hobby Lobby. I don't like companies to force their religious beliefs on their workers. To me, that is a very personal thing, no matter how you feel about it!
DeleteWalMart and dog breeders. Adopt a pup from a rescue or a shelter, people!
ReplyDeleteExxon.
ReplyDeleteZoos
ReplyDelete@B-Fab
DeleteI usually don't support zoos but we have an amazing one by me that rescues animals. It's mostly old and sick animals but you know by visiting that you are helping to keep them alive. Also the habitats seem large and well maintained.
It's called the Popcorn Zoo in NJ.
Asswipes. Human asswipes.
ReplyDeletePmk. The kardashians/jenners. Woody Allen. The Sun/The Mirror. The thing i avoid most though is Cbeebies.
ReplyDeleteAnd also Woody Allen and Roman Polanski films.
ReplyDeletePmk. The kardashians/jenners. Woody Allen. The Sun/The Mirror. The thing i avoid most though is Cbeebies.
ReplyDeleteKOCH Industry products
ReplyDeleteLeftists.
ReplyDeleteAw
DeleteWally World aka China Inc.
ReplyDeleteI'm boycotting boycotts!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd gun control advocates.
ReplyDeleteWal-mart
ReplyDeleteI don't really boycott, but I do try to avoid chain restaurants.
ReplyDeleteBoycott boycotts.
ReplyDeleteChik-Fil-A, not because of the gay rights things, but because they're restaurants smell disgusting. Same with Popeye's.
ReplyDeleteCelebrity endorsed perfume clothes etc
ReplyDeleteMonsanto and Walmart. Both are evil. Star thanks for the organic tip.
ReplyDeleteSafeway is across the street and I can walk to buy beer and wine which is always on sale. You accrue points for gas on other items so needless to say I never accrue enough points for a gas discount.
WalMart, but even though I don't shop there, I still have to give them money via all the subsidies they get from all forms of gov't and the "socialism" their poorly paid employees are eligible for. But those Waltons are all billionaires. I hate this company with the burning fire of a thousand suns.
ReplyDeleteChik-Fil-A - yes, the food was good. No I don't care about your religious beliefs, I care when you use the profits from my purchase to actively lobby governments against non-discrimination protection rights based on sexual orientation, and that includes school bullying laws. That's the type of shit that is leading our kids to commit suicide. How Christian is that?
Sea World. I used to love this place and visit almost yearly, but I doubt I will ever go there again. I am torn on this because the Sea World of old was a fantastic research facility, but they've had so many owners and it seems their focus now is money money money.
Sears, although meh. This is a decades old boycott based on their very long history of gender discrimination against women employees but this company is in so much trouble its just irrelevant now. There is a Kmart nearby and I shop there every once in a while, when I cant find what I want at Target.
Veal.
ReplyDeletewhat amartel said....
ReplyDeleteExxon. I've only bought Exxon gas once since the Valdez--and, very ironically, I seem to recall that that purchase occurred in a National Park.
ReplyDeleteI was going to boycott BP just as strenuously after that disaster, but heard a report on NPR that almost all BP gas stations are supplied through spot markets, and not from BP, so I'm not quite as strict if I'm driving in an unfamiliar place.
Walmart, Chik-fil-a, Paula Dean chicken products, and CDAN on troll days.
ReplyDeleteAnything Tom Cruise is in.
ReplyDeleteMost anything that has a $cilon in it (Veronica Mars being the exception even though Logan Echolls' actor is one).
Subway because the bread always smelled of chemicals to me. Althought I've heard that they finally stopped adding the chemical that they use for yoga mats.
Barilla pasta/Chik-Fil-A/Wal-Mart (because I'm a Left Coast gal at heart)
Perez Hilton (PH-free for at least 5 years now)
Kuntrashians/Kanye/KKK
The Catholic Church
I agree withe the final three. I am also a happily recovering Perezaholic.
DeleteProtests.
ReplyDeleteThe Kardashians, veal, Facebook, Twitter, Sea World, coffee(gasp).
ReplyDeleteThis is depressing. :-/
ReplyDeleteE! Barilla Walmart Facebook FoisGras Chickfila WoodyAllen FoxNews NRAsupporters PuppyMills MostRepubliCUNTblowhards
ReplyDeleteWalmart for their rape of small towns. Chicfilet for their anti gay policy
ReplyDeletePat Robertson and all televangelism for their monetary pipeline to God policy.
Use the Good Guide to research your foods. Use the Coming Clean Campaign to research your body care products. You'd be amazed at the products that you find at the co-ops or Whole Foods that appear organic (and/or good for you) when in reality they are far from it.
ReplyDeleteOh no. Why is Barilla pasta evil, Steph?
ReplyDeleteBP, Walmart, and Hobby Lobby for me, but it isn't difficult because I was never loyal and they don't offer anything I love. Chik-Fil-A is the hard one for me. I love their chicken sandwiches but ever since I found out how much money they donate to camps that "fix" gay teenagers, I haven't been able to set foot in there in years. My stomach turns just driving by the place. I hate so-called Christians who don't understand the concept of loving all.
@Lucy, the chairman of Pasta Barilla said he doesn't approve of homosexuality or of gay people adopting children. And an off the cuff comment about how the brand is marketed toward women, not gay people.
DeleteHe tried to couch it all nice-like by saying he approves of gay marriage, though.
His apology was a crock of funny: "I simply wished to underline the central role the woman plays within the family."
Boycott all the fucking Kardashians and their significant others. Get the fuck out!!!
ReplyDeleteJustin Bieber
ReplyDeleteLittle dicks
ReplyDeleteHate and violence - especially against women and children, animals, nature. Will not spend money going to Africa, India, Utah, buying anything they produce.
ReplyDeleteI'm always on my high horse about someplace so..... Whole Foods ever since the founder said his employees don't need actual healthcare, they just need to eat the stuff he sells (supposedly healthly).
ReplyDeleteExxon
BP
Chik-Fil-A
Barilla pasta
ALL THINGS KUNTRASHIAN
Paris Hilton seems to be taking care of it for me, she's mostly faded away, thank god
The LesBeiber
Tom Cruise
SeaWorld - haven't been able to bring myself to go back for years
TOMS shoes - they work with the anti-gay groups in Africa
Tyson
Hormel
Mel Gibson movies
Wow - I've been boycotting some things like Tyson for so long, I've forgotten I'm actually boycotting them - they're just not even an option for me anymore
I have the Buycott app for my phone, which I don't use often enough.
ReplyDeleteI consulted for monsanto. Lol..
ReplyDeleteNow im the biggest opponent of gmo foods. I only shop whole foods and im a big proponent of a healthy lifestyle.
Chik-Fil-A
ReplyDeleteBarilla pasta

ReplyDeletechik fil a
ReplyDeletewalmart

monsanto owned companies
anything kardashian related
Kardashian shows, Walmart, chick fil a, Mcdonald's, Scientology
ReplyDeleteI don't boycott anything, sure there are places I don't go or products I don't buy but that's just because I have no need for them. I don't care what an owner of a business thinks or beliefs they hold. Hell, if I boycotted something involving people that I personally think have crazy political or religious beliefs, I'd never see a movie or read a book.
ReplyDeleteThe closest I've come to a boycott lately is politics. Both sides in Washington are out of their fucking minds and have forgotten that they are supposed to help make the country work and instead have turned it into high school cliques where they are trying to outdo each other to get their way for the prom theme.
The list of what I boycott is pages long. I try to only buy products that are manufactured in countries that have strong labor laws and are eco-friendly. That often means that I spend way more than I would if I shopped at Target or Wal-Mart, but if it means that my money isn't going to fund forced labor, so be it. We shop as locally as possible and are big proponents of thrifting, garage/estate sales, etc., so that we're keeping our global footprint as small as we feasibly can. We are raising our children to live by the old motto, "Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without."
ReplyDeleteAnd no matter how cheap, I REFUSE to shop at Wal-Mart for anything.
I refuse to buy any yachts or Learjets until the problem of income inequality is fixed. My income specifically.
ReplyDeleteA restaurant chain called Damons (homophobia)
ReplyDeleteI would boycott Walmart (treating staff like shit) and Chick Fil A (various things) were I in the US.
Serious answer I try to avoid all ESPN programming since their former employee Craig James used ESPN to get his widdle baby boy's head coach fired at Texas Tech by lying through his teeth on the network over and over about his kid's punishment & lack of playing time.
ReplyDeleteWalMart, Papa John's, Dominoes, McDonalds, etc, along with any establishment where the CEO or owner refuses to pay a living wage. I don't even want a penny of my earnings going towards funding a fucked up, bigoted, racist, misogynist, xenophobic right wing agenda.
ReplyDeleteNestlé and News Corp....Rupert Murdoch is the devil incarnate
ReplyDeleteI never watch reality TV, like the KTrash or Housewives. I feel like those shows are doing irreparable damage to our culture.
ReplyDeleteWalmart. Always and foever.
ReplyDeleteMovies by or with:
ReplyDeleteWoody Allen
Roman Polanski
Tom Cruise
Spike Lee
Jim Carrey
All MLB broadcasts not involving the Yankees or Mets (since 1994 strike)
Sears - I only go to store closing sales since they jerked me around on the delivery of a lawn tractor. Guy's eyes almost fell out of his head when he realized they would have to hand me back $1700 cash, when I returned to cancel the order. Went across the parking lot to Home Depot, and the thing was delivered, put together and cutting grass by 10AM the next morning.
KFC - off and on when they fuck up my drive thru order. When they fuck up, I send a multi paragraph complaint email to corporate, and tell them in the complaint that I gave bogus name and mailing address, because I don't want their fucking coupons. One time the cocksuckers stiffed me on 2 pot pies. I drove 15 minutes back and the bitch behind the counter tried to ignore me and hide. They didn't have any cooked.
Escort Agencies - only people who lie more than whores are people sellin whores.
Snapple - Since Quaker Oats bought them and canceled advertising on the Stern Show. Plus they kept Rasberry and Peach, but killed my fave flavor, Orange.
I boycotted a bar in the area for about 5 years until the one cunt bartender got fired for trying to get in a fist fight w/ a male customer. I stopped going cause I knew I'd get drunk enough there to either hit her or give her a reason to have me banned.
TGIFridays - for selling swill booze as top shelf.
NY Post - it aint fit to have yer dog shit on.
Sirius Radio/Howard Stern Show - $14/month for edited repeats, 3 new shows/wk 2-3 weeks a month, and no funny? Pass. "I piss on my fans." Good thing I dodged the stream.
NJ Strip Clubs - I can't site there and stare at whores w/o having a cigarette. And when you go outside on a busy night to have a smoke, some other pervert scums yer seat. F that. Bridge to PA aint to far.
Beck's Beer - brewed in St. Louis, using lesser quality ingredients and still charging import prices. Suck my balls InBev. Yuengling taste good and get me drunk.
That is all I can think of off the top of my head.
Now that I've stopped laughing and wiped away the tears (no, not that type of tears), I have to tell you how much I enjoyed reading about your misfortune. Now why am I laughing when I found all the other comments so depressing?
Delete"I piss on my fans." Good thing I dodged the stream.
DeleteHahahahaha, that made me laugh out loud and scare the cat!
Work on your stand-up routine, Count. Seven and I will have front row seats. <3
DeleteOnly place around with an amateur night, the owner sits in the back and steals jokes to use when he MCs for real comics. I would hate to have to beat some ass one night when I want to just get drunk and laugh at Dave Atell or Charlie Murphy.
DeleteWe'll call him on it. Then hurl bottles of Beck's at him. And Snapple Raspberry and Peach.
DeleteI'm a moron,
ReplyDeletebut wat is Hobby Lobby?
I've never heard of it.
Warecat, it's an arts and craft supply chain. Ya know, for those baskets and silk flowers I imagine you make :)
DeleteAh! I get it now, Kristen.

Next to the porn store.

Delete#patcatans
That sounds way more violent than I intended.
Delete#friendshipbypatcatans
I gets wat u sayin'
Delete#berearoad
Seinfeld, the show.
ReplyDeleteABC for canceling One Life to Live
ReplyDeleteNothing. I certainly avoid many things, but that's not the same as an active boycott.
ReplyDeleteAlso, life would be too boring if I only interacted with people or societies or businesses whose ethos I agreed with. That's practically...elitist.
