Boycotts that are working!

                                                                                                                                                                      Vol. XII, No. 1, January 1999

Disney: For the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998 (ended 30 September), Disney’s profits were down 31%, following a 2% drop in the third quarter. For the entire year Disney growth will probably be about 8%, far below the 15%-20% the company usually records. Disney stock has dropped 43% since its peak last April. That this is not industry-wide is demonstrated by rising earnings estimates for Disney’s largest competitors: Time Warner, News Corp, and Viacom. [AFA Journal Nov/Dec 1998] [As Don Wildmon, AFA president has said, “This is a long-distance endurance run, not a sprint.” Spread the word of the boycott. Buy NO Disney product. Attend no Disney movie. TCP]

Stern: Howard Stern’s unbelievably filthy late night CBS TV show and his radio program are losing sponsors as the Christian public protests. Among his top radio sponsors are: Jergens Company 513-421-1400; Chrysler Corp. 800-992-1997; Dunkin’ Donuts 781-961-4000; Geico Direct Insurance 800-824-5404 ext. 2462; and Triarc Co. (Snapple) 800-762-7753. Call and protest.
