Slim-Fast sheds Whoopi Goldberg

Comedian Whoopi Goldberg will no longer appear in ads for diet aid maker Slim-Fast following her lewd riff on President George W Bush's name at a political fundraiser last week.

Florida-based Slim-Fast said it was "disappointed" in Goldberg's remarks at last Thursday's $US7.5 million fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall in New York.

"Ads featuring Ms Goldberg will no longer be on the air," Slim-Fast General Manager Terry Olson said in a statement.

He says that the company regrets that Goldberg's remarks offended some customers.

Republicans have expressed outrage over the fundraiser for presumptive Democratic nominee John F Kerry and his vice presidential running mate John Edwards in which entertainers lined up to skewer the president.

The New York Post said of Goldberg's appearance at the event: "Waving a bottle of wine, she fired off a stream of vulgar sexual wordplays on Bush's name in a riff about female genitalia."

A spokesperson for Goldberg declined immediate comment.

ok so let me get this straight....Making fun of the Clintons--good...Making fun of Bush---bad? ok i get it!

( July 4th Memories )

can anyone show me a site or an article that will show me the supposed "lies" in Fahrenheit 911? cuz i've heard for weeks about these "lies" in the movie and when i saw it, i didn't notice any. most of the material in this film was reported years ago. every site i go to keeps throwing stuff from Bowling for Columbine in my face when it's supposed to be an article for Fahrenheit 911.  most of these sites also have ads to put reagan on a coin, to re-elect bush, and to comment on michael moore's weight.

so i saw Fahrenheit 911 tonight with some of my cohorts. Brian, Jen, and I wore our anti-bush shirts...such a hit

i really don't know what to say about the movie. i laughed, i cried, i cheered, i booed. and i was a nervous mess the entire time.

my feelings, as of now, are best expressed in quoting the ever-so-wise Pamela Means:

( O.D. by Pamela Means )

i was talking to a friend earlier who told me she will be voting for Bush this election because she is "not for abortion." it seems that is the only issue persuading her vote. then we talked a about it a bit...about how she'd be stripping away her own right as well as for other women. i've always thought the best way to be anti-abortion was to not have one...not to tell everyone else they don't have a right to.
she thanked me for talking to her about it. after that, i wondered how many people are actually basing their vote on a single issue.

i can't stop watching the old anti-communist films at Archive.org! it freaks me out to know that kids used to watch these in school. it seems to me that the capitalism these films praise has made us into the drones which they said communism would.
