I think we should call for a national boycott of the Enquirer

[gopiscrap]

also when seen in stores, move them from check stands, turn them around, "accidentally" have them fall and then step on them with muddy shoes etc, you get the picture!

1. In order to be effective, you'll need to complain to the stores selling them and inform the store

that you won't be shopping there until they stop carrying the Enquirer. That will be more effective than trying to make it harder for individual shoppers to find.

In reality, probably any Enquirer boycott should target chains which carry them rather than the Enquirer itself.

2. I agree, I was talking about the other actions

for those places that refuse to quit selling it

[BigmanPigman]

4. Do they get ANY money from advertisers?

They can be boycotted.

[Bucky]

17. I imagine most DUers do not read The Enquirer. If you must boycott...

... you need to go after the advertisers. That's what they care about.

3. You don't actually mean you ever paid money that toilet paper...

I've never bought one in my life. Toilet paper I can't do without, the Enquirer...no problem. I do turn them around on occasion when I'm offended by the cover.

[gopiscrap]

5. no I have never bought one, but I know folks who have

[Fullduplexxx]

6. Never bought one ever so i way ahead of you

[The Genealogist]

7. I just roll my eyes at the covers while the clerk rings up my order

All those magazines are absurd.

[malaise]

8. Boycott the supermarkets that give them so much prominence n/t

9. I have never bought one, never will. nt

10. I spoke to every store manager every time an egregious cover showed up in the checkout line.

I showed them what was for sale and told them they were selling poison. If it was poison food, they would pull it. Why are they not pulling this poison off their shelves?

Obvious lies. Seriously ugly.

They did. Not all of them, but 3/4. It took several times and I only asked to speak to them when the covers where provably false.

I recommend it, as long as you can treat the staff and management reasonably.

11. Only after they spill all the goods.....

[marylandblue]

12. Obviously it sells well, so they will never stop.

Same reason they put the candy up front at kids' eye level.

[alphafemale]

13. Once upon a time it was really fun.

It published really ridiculous stories and was fairly great satire.

This was 40+ years ago, though.

[Baltimike]

14. I think Hillary should sue the fuck out of them. nt

[llmart]

15. I honestly have never bought one, or read one, or know anyone personally who has.

But having said that, I'm sure that sort of thing appeals to Magats.

[backscatter712]

16. That would assume I ever bought one of those fish wraps to begin with.

We should be aggressively stupid-shaming everyone who's ever read that garbage.

[Demonaut]

18. I started mine 30 odd years ago
