"Catalog Favorites" and its anti-Obama merchandise [View all]

I used to order once in while from "Catalog Favorites", which used to carry some fun gift items for my friends' kids and really different baby gift items.

Recently, they've become a lot coarser (lots of fart and toilet related "humor" stuff) and more like Spencer Gifts. I also noticed that ALL of their "message" products are now anti-Obama, anti-Democratic party, or pro-Tea-Party.

So I wrote them the following message: "Like 50% of the country, I do NOT vote Republican. I notice Catalog Favorites carries only merchandise with a Republican/Tea Party slant. Is it really a good idea to alienate HALF your potential customers?

I will not be ordering from this catalog in the future. Please remove me from your mailing list - catalog ID@XXXXXXXX"

Next time you receive a catalog from them, look and see for yourself. Then toss it and buy local.
