Letter to Men's Warehouse for advertising on Glenn Becks program.

[aggiesal]

I sent the following to the Men's Warehouse:

To Whom It May Concern,
My name is Sxx Mxxxxxxxxx, and I've been a customer of
Men's Warehouse for some time now. I have purchased
coats, shirts, ties and other men's accessories.
I'm writing to inform you that I will no longer be shopping
at Men's Warehouse until you stop advertising on The Glenn
Beck Show aired on the FOX Network.

On 8/6/09 Glenn Beck "joked" about giving Speaker Pelosi a glass of wine with poison, which should offend everyone.

Also, on 6/3/09 Glenn Beck agreed with a guest who urged Bin Laden to attack U.S. with nuclear weapons, was extremely offensive.

Finally, on 7/28/09 Glenn Beck said "The President has exposed himself as a guy .. who has a deep-seated hatred for white people ... or the white culture... This man is a racist.", was the last straw.

I will no longer be shopping at Men's Warehouse until I'm notified that Men's Warehouse has removed all of your advertising on the Glenn Beck Show.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Here was there response:

Dear Sxx,

Thank you for contacting Men’s Wearhouse and bringing to our attention your concerns with the Glenn Beck program on Fox News. While we support free speech and do not make advertising decisions based on our own personal ideologies, after reviewing his recent incendiary comments we have decided to remove our advertising from his program. We hope that this decision will allow you to continue to patronize Men’s Wearhouse. I would encourage you to please share our decision with anyone else who may have expressed a similar concern.

Thank you again for contacting Men’s Wearhouse.

Sincerely,

Mxxx Sxxxxxxx

2. George Zimmer is a HUGE democrat

IIRC, he's one of the top donors in California.

I looked it up. He gave $101,600 to Democrats in 2008. He's my man. :D

And on double edit, he's given to the best: Lee, Franken, Woolsey, Udall, McNerney, Honda, Clinton, Obama, and more. :D

8. you must not live in California...

George owns the Mens Wearhouse. He makes almost all of the commercials they play himself. They play on every station, night and day.

"I guarantee it!"

11. he's the guy who's in the commercials.........

like when he says 'you're going to like the way you look, I guarantee it!'

I hate those commercials! But now that I know he's a democrat, I'm starting to look at him in a new light........

4. this isn't the first time I've heard good things about Men's Wearhouse

Judging from their past actions, it probably won't be the last. :)

It's nice to know. I like them.

[dorkulon]

7. I guess they didn't like the way they looked.

Excellent news and big ups for being a part of it! :thumbsup:

14. Glenn Beck is in the WORST Case CATEGORY...he knowingly lies to FOOL

That is despicable...to mislead, to distort, to disparage...to purposely promote Hateful Division among the masses

He is NOT A GOOD HUMAN....he is counterproductive to our Good Society
