Think I had a brush with a Freeper today...
I work customer service in a call center for a home improvement store. Nice man calls up and asks to be transfered to the advertising department. Apparently this is something "about Dan Rather". I'm assuming he saw a commercial during CBS news and is calling to lodge a complaint, so I'm curious if they have a "call and pester" wave going out.

Luckily I didn't have to deal with them, other than transferring to the people who deal with complaints.

On the upside, I donated $10 to the Democratic party. Not a whole lot, but hey...

1. Today - I Parked My Car Specifically To Force A Freeper To See
My Kerry/Edwards sticker before they could enter their car adorned with a *04 sticker.

Annoying Freepers is a full time job. But hey, somebody has to do it!

6. I do that every day!
Our subdivision is condos and we located on a horseshoe drive. Our parking spaces are in the back between the buildings for the units. The guy right across from me (just moved in a couple of months ago) drives a jeep that started sporting a B/C '04 on the windshield. :puke:

I finally gave up on my local office sending me the three I requested and went ahead and ordered 10 from the Kerrygear site. Just for good measure, I put one on the front windshield AND the back so he'll see it whether I'm coming or going! :evilgrin:

It's been quiet around here so far, but we can't have any signs or anything up. Condo regs. :eyes:

2. So do you think your company
will cave?

If your company is getting calls threatening boycott for advertising support with CBS, perhaps we should show our support and let them know it. :)

3. They're a national company...
and I seriously doubt they'd pull advertising from one of the big three networks.

4. Home improvement store...
Hope it's not Home Depot. Ewwwww, ick. It would be great if they went under but it would be bad for you to lose your job.

8. I don't think that would be great
I'd like to see Lowe's beat them out competitively, but I don't necessarily want to see a whole lot of people lose their jobs because of the owners politics. Lou Dobbs had something on last night that they are starting a campaign to actively hire military men and women...a support the troops thing. Frankly, I think it's marketing strategy for the almighty dollar more than company goodwill.
