Do you boycott anything?

Old Navy & Virgin Mobile due to my extreme hatred of their advertising (Old Navy is annoying, VM is trashy and morally bankrupt).
 
Well if anyone needs to do longevity/wear tests on DVD media, I guess they need to study your friend's steven segal collection 😛
 
Circuit City.

Because their stores suck big time and every time I would buy something there it would be broken. Add in zero customer service and I decided I'll never shop there again.
 
Mcdonalds: greed, bad company practices, and crappy food is all they stand for. I dont like Walmart, but I still shop there occasionally.
 
I try to stay away from all businesses/entities that support things that I am against or that are against things that I support. Among others, I support the 2nd amendment. As a result, I stay away from companies such as Levi-Strauss, and Sara Lee.
 
I do not watch movies, tv shows of many actors and actresses. some mainly for their political views, but mostly for the pompous attitudes. Alec Baldwin, Rosie O'Donnell, Barbra Streisand and Danny Glover (though, it's hard not to watch the first Lethal Weapon) to name a few.

Heck, I HATE Walmart but I buy almost everything from them.
 
I don't shop at Walmart or Best Buy. I rarely go to McDonalds anymore because I know its horrible for me.

I could google, but what did Sara Lee do?

Boycotting Levi Strauss is one of the battles I decided I could not win because they make the only jeans that I truly like. But I do have many issues with their corporate stances, as you indicated
 
Jack in the Box.
While children were dying from e-coli in Seattle hospitals from eating their food, they denied blame and would not help in any manner. Then after long court battles (after it was too late) they admitted their burgers were not cooked to the proper temperature to kill e-coli. They have lost my business for life.
 
I've meant to boycott things many times, I always just forget. I think McDonalds messed up my order twice in a row and I gave up on them, but somehow now I'm still going there. But I do boycott WalMart, but that too I once forgot about and bought ammo there.

I have boycotted the longest thread in AT history though.. I will not even look at it
 
Foreign automobiles, foreign owned automakers.
Just because I feel that it's a senseless waste to make one of life's largest investments in another country's future.

As bad as that sounds, if they had taken the blame from the start imagine how big of settlements would have to be paid. It's just good business sense.

Alright maybe I just really like the sourdough chicken club.. but whatever they have the best fast food
