Not so much "Boycott" as just plain hate. I don't shop at any of these places:

Starbucks
Wal-Mart
Various Malls
Fast Food Chains

I also hate Nike with a passion. I guess I'm just an angry young man.

Movie theaters, when possible. I worked for one for 5 or so years, and getting free movies for that long of a time spoiled me. Most of the box take goes directly to the studios anyway to pay of the Kirsten Dunsts. You've got to buy concessions to keep the theaters afloat. $3 for a Coke? Bullshit. I'd rather just wait and rent for $4 or wait for it on cable.

I'm sure there'll be more as they come to me.

I try to stay away from Tyson chicken because of how they treat their chickens, and Iams pet foods because of their apparently fucked-up animal testing procedures.

This doesn't mean i manage to avoid other products that do the same thing, but i feel like i'm trying.

I also avoid a local art/music "collective" building because it's run by a deranged cult leader psychopath. We turn down every offer we have to play a show there.

Hollister
American Eagle Outfitters
Abercrombie & Fitch

I don't shop there because they sell all the same shit I have cluttering up my attic, for 20-50 times what it would cost at Goodwill.

Oh, and White Castle. Dunno why, but I fucking hate White Castle.

...And Sony. Sony can suck my balls.

Personal-care products (soap shampoo etc.), detergents, and household cleaners that are tested on animals or contain pollutants.

Caged-hens' eggs.

Television.

Nabisco products (because of their huge eyesore of a building in Niagara).

Religion.

Coors (supports the Klan).

Get White Castle off your list, brah. White Castle is a model for how every large-scale business entity should behave in the marketplace, and WC's products are stellar. I am suddenly craving Fish Nibblers.

Religion :lol:

I'm with you on that one. Last time my brother and I were in church (our cousin's kid was making her 1st Communion) I asked him if he was going up there to receive the Eucharist.

His reply: "No, I had a pretty big breakfast."
