8 Companies And Counting: Advertisers Abandon The Duggars

[Ravi]

Did the title of the show, 19 kids and counting, refer to how many kids were molested?

 

[AvgGuyIA]

I can't imagine why. They breed like rabbits and have the morals of snakes. What would there be to make fun of?

As usual, the rightwingers have yet again yoked themselves to self-righteous scum, their kind of folk.

. If this was Al Gore's son, you would be supporting his actions. Hypocrite. Also, your last statement is nonsense.

 

[Dragonlady]

Are you implying that you hold molesting little girls as an American tradition?

No, I'm implying that liberals love to see American tradition torn apart no matter the root cause.[/QUOTE]

Exactly what "American traditions" did the Duggars uphold? The subjugation of women? Having more children than anyone can reasonably afford, unless they are multi-millionaires? Putting your family on reality TV? Shielding a child molester from prosecution?

Yeah, it's a good idea to distance yourself from child molesting cultists... Companies do it, GOP Congressmen and Candidates don't.

8 Companies And Counting: Advertisers Abandon The Duggars

Several companies that advertise with TLC are responding to pressure from customers to pull ads from the popular show "19 Kids and Counting," after star Josh Duggar apologized in the wake of the release of a 2006 police report alleging he molested underage girls as a teenager.

TLC announced Friday that it had yanked all episodes of "19 Kids and Counting" from the air, but the network did not say whether the show, which is in its 10th season, would return.

As of Tuesday evening, at least eight companies that advertise with TLC had pulled advertising from episodes of "19 Kids and Counting" or announced that they would not advertise on the program in the future. One other company said they would take the allegations against Josh Duggar into consideration in the future.

General Mills

The food manufacturing giant was the first to take action after TLC pulled all episodes of "19 Kids and Counting" from the air. A company spokesperson told Hollywood news site The Wrapthat the company had decided to drop the show from its advertising schedule.

The GOP would pander to a pile of shit, if it was conservative and white......number one reason, these loons will never get the white house again!!

Unlike you, I don't support men who molest young girls just because they pray to Jesus.

The Duggars didn't hurt anyone. They had no political power. Why would the progressives want to go back ten years to an incident regarding a juvenile that didn't even result in an arrest to ruin the life of an adult? Is it a lesson to every reality star and politician that a progressive hit team will research your life back to grammar school or does it only work for conservatives?

Glass houses. They have only themselves to blame.

Absolutely not. But I guess you can't do anything but make up stuff. (can't even find it in you to condemn this Duggar creep, I see)

 

[bodecea]

It's an excuse. The real reason this is happening is because family came out against same-sex marriage.

I suppose for the looney left that's probably true, but the real reason why everybody else is running away from that family has everything to do with hypocrisy. Plus they went on to further victimize their own children by allowing the perpetrator to remain in the home. That's child abuse.

And what exactly is hypocritical about turning one's back on the Duggars?

To blame for what?

Their downfall. Pride goeth before the fall, remember? It's in the book they supposedly love, the one that told them to breed like animals.

What about the Duggar daughters that Josh molested? They were certainly harmed. Or the girls whose parents were convinced by Josh's parents not to go to the police. Those girls were harmed too. 5 little girls were harmed and Josh had no consequences at all.

Four were his sisters, and one other girl, whose parents probably wanted it hushed up as much as the Duggars did. Cover-ups for Jesus.

Poor guy. His life has now been negatively impacted, for years or maybe even for life, just like that of his five (known) victims. It just breaks my heart...

Politicians just have to worry about their local electorate and their main lobbyists, whereas companies have to worry about the implications it might have in being associated with something potentially disreputable - and the long term issues they might have in selling their products to certain demographics. That is why sponsors are pre-emptively making statements to the effect that they might remove sponsorship from FIFA, and why companies got jumpy with laws on LGBTI issues in US states.

And the left continues to celebrate and be gleeful to see an American real family destroyed.

Cheer up; maybe they will bring them back.

I frankly don't care what they do with them, my point is about American liberals like the OP who just love to see American tradition torn apart.

Abusing children isn't a tradition nor a family value.

The fact that you actually believe sexually abusing children as young as 4 years old is a family tradition tells a lot about you.
