I don't get incensed. I don't even get mad. It's rare that I'm even angry.

Actually, I'm smiling and laughing pretty much all the time - that gets me into a bit of trouble sometimes.

I do, however, have a low tolerance for stupid crap.

It may sound angry at times, but in reality, I'm usually laughing at the stupidity of it all.

Like now.

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."

Thanks Ankesh.

I wasn't actually trying to organize a boycott or be effective about anything here.

I probably just did like Don Imus and said something that sounded good at the moment but made no sense in reality.

You are right, it's probably a stupid idea and I'll probably think differently in the morning.

Jim

For once you and I are on the same page.

Thanks for posting.

WHAMMO !!!

Hey Jim, I'm just curious about YOUR response and your thoughts about the nation's response to this scenario...

Don Imus is commentating on a basketball game that your mom is playing in as well as your sister, your little daughter, the First Lady, and other highly affluent Caucasian women. And he says, "man, these are some really skanky ho bitches."
