The last is not a boycott so much as a sense of utter revulsion which invariably is brought about any time one looks at their rooms.

i cannot remember the last time i ate there

they are just grotesque any more


almost all fast food is

its not fast, its not good, and its not cheap
 
japanese cars, they are horrible, not at all innovative, ugly, unreliable, and over all pieces of sh!t in addition they dont help out the american economy
 
I only "boycott" companies that have personally screwed me in the past, or have such a horrible CS/quality/honesty reputation that I avoid them.

I do not boycott for political or social reasons. It's pointless.

I shop where I can get the best service/product for the cheapest price.

China is almost impossible to boycott, everything is made there

True a lot of things are, but given the choice between something made in China or anywhere else in the world I'll go with the later.

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

Yeah, I remember the "Old Ironside" story (USS Constitution). Check it out (I suppose you don't refer to the old US Navy)
 
WalMart-Because they're putting one in about 2 minutes away from me on the busiest intersection in town, requiring another traffic light or two. There are going to be 5 traffic lights along a 1km stretch of road now. Everytime the city raised an objection, WalMart pumped more cash into it.

KFC-Not a vegan, but I don't like what they do to chickens.

Old Navy- Their clothes SUCK, and they're annoying as fvck.

Future Shop- I prefer BB over future shop. I hate future shop. They're reverse racists. I've NEVER, EVER seen a white guy working in the computer area.
 
I avoid fast food in general but if I have to get it I never get mcdonalds b/c their commercials make me want to poop blood. Also would never use the "can u hear me now' cell service (don't remember which one it is but i know i don't use it). Miller light has really stupid commercials so I try to avoid that too, as well as michelob anything for their michelob ultra commercials. I also do not buy old navy anymore b/c their commercials blow. I'm not buying any more metaliica cds ever, not because of their attitude, but b/c the last one sucked so bad.

Oh, mazda also has horrible commercials, so I wouldn't buy a mazda, though I never would have anyway. I can't really think of anything else, but I am sure there are more. Mainly based on who has commercials I find especially irritating. Budweiser is being seirously reevaluated in light of their new line of commercials (bud select). I may just buy only red stripe b/c they have the best commercials. I like to reward the companies that do a good job entertaining me during timeouts and whatnot when i watch sports. And punish those who make me want to die. OH fvckin cialis, if i ever can't get it up i am not going to buy that crap for the hell they've put me through 10 minute commercials all the time. And anything Mike Ditka endorses, I don't like him. So i guess I better hope i don't have that problem. Ask me again after I watch the spurs suns game tonight, I'll have like 25 more.

Oh and I'd never buy an American car b/c my mom has had two and they both have been pieces of crap. I've had two hondas and not once had a problem, even the 1989 accord with over 100k miles on it. I'll probably buy hondas forever.
