Lets push back on this Freeper boycott (Levi Johnson)
From Freeperville

Levi Johnson: Let "Wonderful Pistachio's" Know How You Feel About Using Him.


So I'm watching the football game and I see this ad come on for "Wonderful Pistachios". Levi Johnson comes on camera with a big bodyguard. The announcer says something to the effect of "Levi Johnson does it with protection now".

So I emailed "Wonderful Pistachios" this:

Just to let you know I'm never going to buy any Wonderful Pistachios ever again. The day that you use a bottom feeder like Levi Johnston in an ad for your product is the day that I decide your company is not worth supporting with my patronage. You've alienated at least half of America by employing a person who has already proven that he'd sell his soul for publicity.
Oh, I'm also making it my mission to Facebook, Twitter, Email, and personally tell every single person I know (and people I don't) know and am urging them not to purchase your product.

Nice move...


Here's the address:


Wonderful Pistachios
11444 W. Olympic Blvd. Suite 310
Los Angeles, CA 90064

Here's the email:

pr@getcrackin.com

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
NOW OUR VERSION


Just wanted to let you know I'm going to buy Wonderful Pistachios now more than ever. I applaud your use of a great young man like Levi Johnston in an ad for your product. Your company is worth supporting with my patronage. I'm also making it my mission to Facebook, Twitter, Email, and personally tell every single person I know, urging them to make sure and purchase your product.

Great move...


Here's the address:


Wonderful Pistachios
11444 W. Olympic Blvd. Suite 310
Los Angeles, CA 90064

Here's the email:

pr@getcrackin.com


Lets get the ball rolling folks!

1. Freepers are Idiots.
Before they rag on Levi, they ought to take a good look at their lying goddess Ms. Sarah. Talk about a bottom feeder.

2. I want to see Levi remain in the media spotlight...
He's a huge embarrassment to Palin and who knows when he'll crack and spill the beans and the stuff he has on her.

4. A few more over-the-top Facebook posts from Palin is probably all it will take
I really hope that vindictive woman is allowing him to see his child. She is just the type who would tell her daughter to cut off access.

7. He is blackmailing her but I think this is the reason why, so she
can't keep him from seeing his child. I think this is what is behind Levi doing this and it's fairly smart of him.

8. Word on the street is that the Donald is considering casting him on the Apprentice!

And the Daily Show and Joy Behar are trying to book him for next week during the book tour roll out!

3. I wish they would change the ad to 'Now Levi NEEDS protection" from the whackjob ex-governator.
I love your idea, I will be writing Wonderful Pistachios today!

6. Levi is definitely DU's hero, and why not? He's smart, accomplished, a true role model.

9. You forgot your sarcasm smiley.
He's another bottom feeder but I really think he's trying to out maneuver Madam Palin, when it comes to access to his child. Look what she tried to do to her brother-in-law.

10. +1! I don't think a single DUers sees him as a "hero" or lauds his antics
but his plight with the Palin family serves as an example of the pettiness and vindictiveness that $'error (and her tiny troupe of blind followers) is capable of.

13. Yes, the story of the ex-brother in law is never far from my mind when I see Palin
Her vindictiveness and the lies she told about him - shows exactly what her character is like.

11. No he isn't. He's nothing more than a useful tool.
Broad brush statement.

DU sees him as a burr under Palin's saddle, and as long as he remains that way, he will be cheered on in his endeavors.

Other than that, not too many here see him as any of the things you stated.

15. Honestly, I kinda like the guy. Smart and accomplished, no. But he never fit in well with the
Palin lie machine, he is definitely his own man.

26. LOL... I hope that sarcasm doesn't go over anyones head...
This kid is a fucking moron. I never understood this the enemy of my enemy is my friend crap. If someone is an asshole they are an asshole. They are no less of an asshole because they are on TV bitching about a fellow asshole.

I just don't get it. This kid stood for the Palins during the campaign. He went out as a prop fiance to Palin's kid so it wouldn't look like her daughter was having an "illegitimate" child(btw I don't like that word but it is what the Palins were doing".) The kid does his mighty best to get Palin elected and now because he broke up with her daughter and went on TV to "tell all" he's some kind of hero? He's an asshole. She's an asshole. They are assholes. We are surrounded by assholes.

12. Why in the fuck would anyone send that letter you just wrote?
Are DU'ers that smallminded? Do we want to fight every petty battle there is? Including the fights for Levi Johnston?

14. I thought the ad was in poor taste... however, I do like the kid...
...he's got moxie & is like a modern-day Martha Mitchell... LOL

He certainly wasn't the villain in this opera.

20. Meh.
This sounds exactly like the conservative/Freeper counter-boycott of Whole Foods.
Don't we have better things to fight for than protecting a nut endorsement for an attention starved wanker?

Besides, it's not like Freepers eat pistachios. They probably think they come from France or Mexico. I'm pretty sure Wonderful Pistachios knows it.
