Block & Boycott! Block & Boycott! (Block ABC & Boycott Disney)

[farmbo]

If they run this shameful little, right wing hit piece (PT 9/11), our duties as DUers will be clear:

For all of us on cable... go here and learn how to block ABC on your cable system:

(While you're at it don't forget to block the Disney channel if you're unfortunate enough to have it on your system)

For those of you on broadcast channels...just suck it up and take one for the team. No ABC.

And for those of you who don't watch TV...you don't know how lucky you are!

With respect to our friends at Disney:

No trips to Walt Disney World/Land for yourself or your family for AT LEAST three generations!

No Disney-licensed toys, shirts, hats, CDs, movies, Lindsay Lohan, or mouse-related paraphernalia!

Under no circumstances will you buy tickets or root for for the Anaheim Mighty Ducks in any way.

The ever- watchful DU Security will be monitoring you 24/7/365 and will summarily punish any evildoers who deviate from this strictly-enforced, bolg-wide effort.
