Boycotting Idiocy

I have no idea why it took so long this time for calls of a boycott of American and now British products. The idea is to boycott companies that support Israel.

In general I don't really take part in these festivities if you may. The loudest calls always are for Mcdonald's and Starbucks. That also includes all fast food more or less. In general I don't really buy fast food and tend to go with local brands at least when it's my call. They are cheaper and well why not support your local brands if they are good enough.

So in general I can't really boycott. You can only boycott if you are a customer. So that's the background.

Now what really pisses me off is the emails. Who writes the lists. Why on earth can't they spell half the products correctly. Is it because they are too lazy, too ignorant, too stupid or what? Can't admit they use the products, then again how will you boycott????

But what really did it for me was the latest email I got from a friend. At least it was calling for boycotting the car companies. Now that would be scary to America, if and that's a big if, if you could get Arabs off American cars. Now the list didn't include Chrysler, duh. And only mentioned Land Rover as part of Ford, which is now owned by Tata of India. Oh and no computer companies. Sure you have to give up that McBlubber or whatever but that iPod is sacred.

But that's the tip of the iceberg on idiocy. On the list was one and I repeat ONE furniture manufacturer. The name, the unfortunate name, American Furniture. Despite the name it is an Egyptian company.

So mister boycotting list writer please check your facts, we treat our local brand badly enough in this country; we don't need idiots calling for their boycott too.

So I will not boycott my local brands and I will buy anything made in Egypt regardless of the brand. The imported stuff I already live without.

So long live the idiots.
