interesting, i did not know that

Yeah, I didn't find out until a few weeks ago myself. I didn't believe my dad at first; it just boggles my mind that you don't see protests about this more often.

[Uppsala9496]

Anything associated with Hanoi Jane.

 

[Queasy]

I boycotted sanity around the time I got married and started having children.

 

[GimpyOne]

Procter & Gamble...

Or at least my Mother in Law and quite a group of people in the Twin Cities. She is pretty disgusted by the methods in which they test their products on animals...mainly rabbits.

 

[KK]

non-american cars. Self-explanatory
Buffalo's Cafe. Small franchise that has horrible service.


That's about all I can think of.

 

[mercanucaribe]

Wal Mart, Old Navy, pretty much any company that is known to use sweat shops and child labor.

 

[mordantmonkey]

i boycott any large company i can. when a company gets too big it inevitably starts short changing their employees and customers.
I try to shop at local stores when i can or buy used. I'd rather my money not go to ad campaigns, CEO's, or stockholders.

[broon]

Sean Penn, Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins, Jane Fonda.

MCI and AT&T. Coors (unless it's free). Nissan, Saturn. Cigarettes.

 

[Summitdrinker]

VW/audi, budwiser beer and all there other brands (the biggest enemy of real beer)


on the not so good list: any german car company including chrysler.
nvidia, valvoline (ashland) oil. german beer (overated)

 

[Demon-Xanth]

It's not that I outright boycott, as much as I avoid going to them.

Best Buy: NEVER online, only in person, only on stuff on a shelf.
Walmart: I check other stores first.
Creative Labs: Thier stuff has been going down hill since the AWE64, and yes, I used to buy alot of it. (note: the Digital VCR card was garbage for a capture card)

I've never bought anything from Walmart. Mostly because the place gives me a headache. Same with The Gap.

Old Navy & Virgin Mobile due to my extreme hatred of their advertising (Old Navy is annoying, VM is trashy and morally bankrupt).

my take as well

 

[Mucho]

Nike, McDonalds and Tommy Hilfiger

 

[Gurck]

Absolutely, I don't buy Sony, Apple or Bose products/services.

 

[gshock888]

best buy

 

[Cristatus]

American Cars, but that is simply because of two reasons: too expensive to run in Europe, and too expensive to maintain in Europe (we literally import the cars) [might only be in Belgium, but I haven't seen that many American vehicles around Europe].

Also boycott the H2 and the H3, becase those things look like plastic compare to the H1 (but then, I'm contradicting myself, because I'm saying I like an American car)

 

[Summitdrinker]

ya I didn't see all that many american cars , some mercury grand marquis as taxi's in Holland, plus a few pickup trucks and SUV's in holland/germany

I try not to shop at Walmart.
Almost anything French.
Singers and Actors I do not agree with.

 

[paulney]

I never purchased gas from Exxon and don't purchase it from Valero either when they took over Exxon's gas stations. Exxon rapes the environment and weazles its way out of taking blame for it by bribing everyone and everything.

 

[SouthPaW1227]

I boycott most B&M stores to save on sales tax, b/c the government takes too much of my money to begin with.
