14 More Advertisers Dump The Duggars And Refuse To Run Ads On 19 Kids and Counting

[avebury]

The advertiser backlash against the Josh Duggar molestation scandal is growing into a tidal wave as 14 more companies have publicly refused to run ads on 19 Kids and Counting.


Party City
Pure Leaf Iced Tea
Kings’s Hawaiian
Allstate Insurance
Sherwin-Williams
Jimmy Dean Sausage
HauteLook
Ricola

A second group of advertising took the same path as Keurig and promised not to advertise on the show both now and in the future.
CVS
H&R Block
Ace Hardware
Behr Paint
ConAgra Foods
General Mills
Payless ShoeSource
Choice Hotel


The list of corporate advertisers who have not promised to pull their ads is shrinking fast, but corporate giants like McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Macy’s, GEICO, State Farm Insurance, Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, Oscar Mayer, Arm & Hammer, Crayola, and Discover still have not done the right thing.

===

It boggles the mind that companies like McDonalds and Crayola, who make a lot of money off of children are willing to continue associating themselves with the Touching Little Children Network.

1. I won't spend my money with any company supporting the Duggers.

McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Macy’s, GEICO, State Farm Insurance, Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, Oscar Mayer, Arm & Hammer, Crayola, and Discover [img][/img]

3. I already sent quick emails to Crayola and McDonalds, both of

whom are reliant upon business related to children. Every email always mentions the phrase Touching Little Children Network at least twice. I pointed out to McDonalds that their support of the Duggar show really makes Ronald McDonald look very creepy.

2. This is good news.

It baffles me that every sponsor hasn't pulled their ads. Those that haven't support sexual predators. Shame on them.

[sendero]

4. I thought the show..

... was cancelled?

[Heather MC]

6. You know the game they play. Pull it for a little while then bring it back when the heat has died

down, Like Dog the Bounty Hunter and Duck Dynasty

[Hoppy]

8. Yeah. So it wouldn't matter if a former sponsor doesn't sign off.

If I were the Duggers' agent, I would change the show name to "18 And Counting."

Announce that they kicked Josh off the show and offer a discount to advertisers since they are paying for 18 and not 19.

[avebury]

15. That won't work for TLC

Remember the parents willfully hid their son's crimes. They are extremely toxic for TLC to even consider bringing back the show.

[Heather MC]

5. Aside from Crayola, and Arm & Hammer, I no longer utilize the services of and of those companies

[Javaman]

7. I thnk I'll be writing to Geico. nt

[valerief]

9. Touching Little Children Network. On the money! nt

[calimary]

16. I know!!!! GREAT! TLC! The Touching Little Children Network!!!

Sorry TLC, but as long as these networks celebrate, and elevate, such human trash, they deserve what they get. Like the rest of us trashing their "good" names. We're just following their lead.

10. With the amount of money I spend at Macy's - that'll soon end if they do not change their policy

I refuse to shop there again until they change their policy.

[samsingh]

11. TLC - Touching Little Children - seems to be very appropriate

i will avoid those companies as well that are still supporting the alleged criminal acts

12. SEND THOSE WHO HAVE NOT OPTED OUT ON THE DUGGARS A MESSAGE:

Notes: The Kraft link is for Oscar Meyer; the State Farm link is the best one I could find, but IMO not great.

[Duppers]

18. +100

Thanks.

[EEO]

13. Good. What took so long?

[LynneSin]

14. I just sent a long letter to Macy's

I do serious shopping at Macy's. I love fashion (no judgement) and after losing over 75lbs I just spent memorial day weekend hitting the big sales at 2 Macy's stores in Delaware and Center City Philly. I was actually going to buy a Mattress later this summer but will wait to see what Macy's does with this advertising.

Folks can contact Macy's here:

17. Here's a pretty straightup account of the scandal...

...for those (like me) who had no clue:

http://www.vox.com/2015/5/27/8662907/josh-duggar-abuse

When are people going to learn that rightwing 'christianity'--Catholic or Protestant--is based on the oppression of women and that this INEVITABLY leads to sex crimes? It's become very obvious, but a lot of people still get suckered.

Both of these kinds of 'christianity' need to be purged of hatred and oppression of women, if they want to have any claim to being "Christ-like." There is absolutely nothing in the teachings of Jesus, as they have come down to us--neither in the orthodox gospels, nor the suppressed Gnostic gospels--that supports oppression of women, nor the view of women as baby-machines, nor the view of women as "subject" to their husbands or to any man, nor confinement of women to household activities, nor hatred of women, nor hatred of gays, Pagans or anybody else, nor witch-burning, nor hatred or oppression of any kind, no support for subjugation of any kind; nothing on marriage whatsoever; and the only teaching on prostitution or women having sex outside of marriage is that men should "cast the first stone" at themselves!

The sole and shining teaching of Jesus was "love they neighbor as thyself." And all the puffed up, self-worshipping men, who not only dare to call themselves 'christians' but who dare to control the Christian religions, as popes or preachers, and who dare to dictate to others, are NOT Christians.

Sorry for the rant, but these "dominionists" sicken me. They are so-o-o-o-o wrong! And the Corporate Media's and other Corporate Rulers' use of this screwed up religion to rob us all blind is disgusting.

19. A big part of the problem is the Bible itself. That nutty book has a bit of everything in it,

so any twisted behavior can be justified by some weird-ass passage. It's a shame that The Big Book of Myths has had such a terrible impact on the human race.

[MadrasT]

20. I am confused.

I thought the show was cancelled. If the show was cancelled... there is nothing to pull ads "from".

(Glad to hear it, but confused why it's necessary.)

[tammywammy]

24. Same here.

I don't understand pressuring companies to pull ads from a canceled show.

[d_legendary1]

21. TLC should be renamed TPC

which stands for The Predator Channel. Seriously, TLC has got to be the biggest oxymoron network since MTV.

[calimary]

22. Well, "Learning" seems to be their thing, even though they don't recognize it -

as in "Learning" what NOT to do! But too many mouth-breathers will still watch that shit and think this is a moral upstanding example or role model of how to live and how to "train" your kids.

GOD these people are hideous!!!

BTW::::: anybody see this one?

http://defamer.gawker.com/police-report-reveals-the-duggar-discipline-method-th-1707154965

I may have found it from somewhere here or via another link somewhere here. But I just want to make sure this is seen and spread. These duggars should be - um, well, I won't say it. It's unprintable even on the "anything-goes" internet.

[d_legendary1]

23. That's some scary shit!

To think that they possibly ruined 19 lives with their methods...

[calimary]

25. These people are SCUM. SCUM of the earth.

With apologies to SCUM of the earth everywhere.

It starts with the flicking of a ruler on the skin of a baby on a blanket.

THE CONDITIONING starts with the flicking of a ruler on the skin of a baby on a blanket.

The NEGATIVE REINFORCEMENT CONDITIONING, BY INFLICTING PAIN, starts with the flicking of a ruler on the skin of a baby on a blanket.

FUCK!!!!!!!

I stand with Dan Savage. I hope their very name becomes another definition of the worst and most vile and evil and reprehensible, unforgivable shit that ever cursed this civilization. SYNONYMOUS for some of the worst sins humankind knows how to commit.

[calimary]

26. And then you have to compound that by factoring in how many people these 19 newly-trained

young sickos will injure and warp and twist and defile, and RUIN.

They should NOT be allowed to breed further. That would lead to further crimes foisted upon the rest of humanity, another generation down.

Does make me wonder - if josh duggar diddled his younger sisters - WHERE DID HE GET THAT? Whose example was HE following, I wonder. Sins of the father, maybe? As my late and beloved mother-in-law used to say - "they don't suck it out of their thumbs."
