This is going to backfire. More people will buy Keurig for standing up against pedophilia.

Companies that pulled ads from Hannity over this weekend include:
  • Keurig
  • Realtor.com
  • 23 and Me
  • Eloquii
  • Nature's Bounty

The only one of these companies I've heard of is Keurig, and that is not only an unhealthy way to brew coffee, but very expensive. Those things have been shown to grow molds and bacteria, because they cannot be cleaned.

Secondly, any company that pulls their ads for political reasons is shooting themselves in the foot. The point of advertising is to sell product, not to make a political statement. Advertising is a tough enough business, let alone pulling a stunt that causes consumers to hate you.

Good luck, Keurig.

Keurigs are trash. If you can't figure out how to make a real cup of coffee using a french press, you are probably well-qualified to sit around and watch Hannity.

It was a dumb thing for them to do. When will companies learn that both conservatives and liberals buy their products?

Go ahead. Make my day. Shoot yourself in the foot. I couldn't care less. Keurig is a very expensive way to enjoy coffee anyway, and besides the machines are unhealthy. Can't be cleaned.

No he didn't.

He chewed out his own crew for directing social media attention to the company's decision. And someone leaked that internal memo.

No he didn't. He said their change in advertising shouldn't have been announced on Twitter.

And if you do believe in sides on this, then the sides are for or against pedophilia. Which side are you on?
