You don't have to give up your favorite shows to boycott a TV station.
Step 1: Get armed with pencil and paper.
Step 2: Start watching show as usual.
Step 3: Wait for commercial breaks.
Step 4: Write down who the advertisers are.
Step 5: Write letter/email to station, with copy to each advertiser, stating that due to XXX, you're now buying product YYY, which is a competitor. BE SPECIFIC! NAME A COMPETITOR!
Step 6: Reinforce your stomach and repeat the process above for the RW show that prompted all this.

2. I could go even further
Annex a photo of yourself holding a current day newspaper and consuming the competitor's product, if applicable. (You don't want to do that if the advertiser is Jontex, for instance)

OK, maybe that'd be too much. Or not.

3. I might just start listening to Limbaugh just for that reason.


Just to see who his advertisers are so that I can E-Mail them (I wouldn't waste a stamp) and antagonize the hell out of them.

Seems like I have seen a website that keeps track of his advertisers before.

:think:

4. Googled some -- all hopelessly outdated
Not easy finding people with stomachs THAT strong. Talk about taking one for the team!
