If you're gonna boycott Disney you gotta do it all (complete list)
Simply saying "Oh I won't watch ABC or go to Disneyland" is NOT enough. When I get home from work I'm blocking all of these channels, hell I'm calling comcast and asking them to block them. Boycotts do NOT work when we pick and choose and trust me - I'm looking at the label of every movie I watch, every video I rent and book I buy and if it's from this list I will not buy!

1. So, I can't listen to Keith Olbermann anymore on ESPN Radio?
Especially when he's broadcasting from the ESPN Zone in New York like he did yesterday?

No thanks, I'll just boycott the show.

3. Then call Keith and tell him to sever his ties
He knows better than anyone about this propaganda.

Hey, I can't watch E! anymore and I love that channel. I'm a fan of Lost and it just happens to be that my #2 band Queen is on one of their record labels. Now most of my Queen products came back from their Elektra days but if they put out any new CDs or DVDs (and they have since Freddie's death) I won't touch them.

We're not going to solve problems by picking & choosing. This movie is straight propaganda out of Joseph Goebbell's play books. Hell they were trying to distribute discussion guides out our children through Scholastics

6. Thanks for the list........
I'll bookmark this and withhold every cent of my money from these assholes. It's bad enough I have to pay taxes to support Bush and his insane policies. I DON'T have to spend my discretionary cash supporting a company that supports and abets fascism.
