Boycotts are a bad idea if they aren't widely accepted and implemented.
You need to do something different to be effective.
Chances are even Don Imus won't be boycotting them. You'll only end up paying higher prices elsewhere and hurting yourself.
Don't cut the cards. If you feel so strongly about the matter, put them in the freezer for a little while. You'll feel differently after a couple of months.
And in the mean time - you'll be able to see if your temporary boycott indeed did hurt the companies or not...
Btw - its not only America that is sensitive to such remarks. People all over the world has this tendency of going ballistic at "humour."
