The latest company I need to boycott...
Due to a kerfluffle with some political groups, now I am supposed to boycott Holiday Inn.

Except...

I never was even IN a Holiday Inn, much less stayed in one.

Heard too many horror stories about how dirty they are, and lack of any security.

So how do I boycott a hotel I've never been in?

1. Send Them an E-mail
leave out the part about not staying there.

2. I'm planning to stage a boycott of a local business - 714 Tickets.
They use Roger Lodge in their commercials, and after I heard about him relentlessly attacking Chaz Bono on his radio program, I will not be a customer of theirs.

5. Make a reservation, the cancel it with the reason
why you are doing it. It won't cost unless you don't cancel by 24 hours before your stay. That's a lot of work though.

6. Recommend them to crackheads looking for drugs and johns looking for whores..
But I'm not sure I'd go that far unless I had personally been offended by being in one.
