Dr X. is Not Amused

Now that Bill O'Reilly has suggested that terrorists attack my neighborhood, I have lost my sense of humor about this. Here are the three largest recent national sponsors of The O'Reilly Factor:
  • DaimlerChrysler
  • Ford Motor Company
  • General Motors Corporation
Nice. Ok, I'd suggest a boycott, but there is not a single domestic car in the garage of this building. Still - Detroit? Listen to Bill O'Reilly, do what he says, and soon your city could be as bucolic and pleasant as Detroit, Michigan. For a virtual tour of the ruins of this once-magnificent civilization, see this site.

OK, are there any sponsors not headquartered in horrific industrial wastelands? Well, yes. Continuing down the list:
  • Merck/Schering-Plough - Hah! Nice try Merck, you almost had me fooled with the NPR sponsorship.
  • Mitsubishi - Same folks who built the Zero. I wouldn't mention the sex harassment stuff, that's old news.
  • Capital One - The card's already in half.
  • Sprint - Won't be using them.
  • Best Buy - I have set foot in my last Best Buy store.
  • Morgan Stanley - I will never again use the investment banking services of Morgan Stanley.
  • UPS - From now on I'll Fedex it.
There's no excuse for responsible advertisers to be supporting this jerk. Maybe I'll print up some flyers and pass them out around the neighborhood.

Dear Companies Sponsoring Fox News,

You really, really, don't want to piss off Dr. X with your damned foolish financial support of O'Reilly's spittle spraying, proto-fascistic bloviating. It's not worth what may happen to you, although we are constrained from explaining further.

Let's just leave it that Dr. X has something more than a giant street puppet available as a resource of influence.
