Facebook | Ashley Greenspan: Michael Vick Reality Show Sponsors E-Mail and Boycott.

I’m not going to defend Vick and his actions, but I find it so absurd that people will now start a Facebook group to boycott sponsors of a show just because the show features someone who has committed a crime in the past.

Maybe we should start boycott’s against every entertainer who in their career has committed some crime and been punished for it.

Point 1: Why are you boycotting the sponsor’s and not the show itself?

This line in particular is so absurd: “Please e-mail the sponsors of the Michael Vick Reality Show and express your opposition to their financial support of the program.”

If no one watches the show there will be no sponsors that sign up for it.

Point 2: Where are your values?

If you are Judeo-Christian or simply believe in the simple act of forgiveness, then why are you supporting this boycott?

The guy committed the crime, did the time, and is now trying to rehabilitate his image. Don’t you want the man to succeed and become a better person? Or do you simply want to knock him back down to a point where his only option is to go and commit crime so that you can say “See, I told you so!”.

Really? It took how many millions to conduct this study?? Who authorized it and why were birds used instead of human males who drink 6 packs of beer and lounge for 4 hours in front of TV sets?

You know it’s time to stop preaching when you’re old and you make comments like this. But then again, what would we do for entertainment?

Really funny and sadly true stories of how great web designs get perverted into something less optimum. I’ve seen stuff happen similar to this comic but not quite by the same people. In some cases by people with a lot of money and big egos.

Better question is have they cleaned up the area yet? Is it safe for the thousands of people that live in the Chatsworth, Santa Susana, West Hills, and Simi Valley area’s surrounding the site?

Simply put it’s my guide to interesting items I’ve found on the web for many topics. Yes, it’s a catalogue. Hopefully, it’s a meaningful catalogue of items I think are worthwhile for you. It filters out the junk of 1001 Google search results to deliver only the Gems (no, not Ruby).
