Update: Chicago's Groupon has responded to the customer outcry, and is pulling ads from Celebrity Apprentice. Enterprise, apparently, is still denying it advertises on Celebrity Apprentice . . . hmm, then what's that picture about (see photo)?
I'm sick to friggin' death of Trump and his not-so-subtle race-baiting about President Obama's birth certificate. As most of you know, today President Obama released his long form birth certificate - but, of course, those who are simply uncomfortable with a Black president will not let the issue rest, now claiming that the long form, provided by the State of Hawaii, is fake. And Trump (along with his Birther Brigade) won't shut up, first bragging that he's the reason the President produced the long form (despite 2-1/2 years of birther lawsuits and accusations and research and investigation and nonsense), and now questioning President Obama's academic successes. Part II of the "he's not one of us" campaign.
Remember back when Glenn Beck called President Obama a racist? He lost 100+ advertisers. Consumers have the power to do the same thing to Trump's show, Celebrity Apprentice. If, in fact - as is suspected - all this birtherism is simply a ploy to get publicity for his show, I think it's time that real Americans, those who are willing to state unequivocally that we accept President Obama as an equal American, show Trump that not only is the birtherism going to backfire in terms of his 2012 presidential bid, it's going to backfire in terms of pumping up his show. Boycott his sponsors . . . and here's who they are:
Enterprise Rental Car, Clorox, Sprint, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Walt Disney. On February 25, 2011, the following sponsors were also announced for the upcoming season: Dr. Pepper Snapple Group, 7-Up, OnStar, Australian Gold, Camping World, ACN, Omaha Steaks, Farouk Hair Systems, www.kassatex.com, Hallmark Collectibles, Inc., Talbott Teas, and, of course, all things Trump.
Dump 'em. All of them.
Today.
