Does Kelloggs Support the Statutory Rape of 14 year-olds?
Does the Kelloggs Company support the statutory rape of 14 year-olds, the forcible impregnation of minors, the prostitution of young girls, and the exploitation of women?
This is a question that needs to be asked of the Kellogg’s executive team, since their silence the last few days has been deafening.
Kelloggs is one of the largest sponsors of the Late Show with David Letterman, a program that jokes about the statutory rape of 14 year-old girls. On June 9th, 2009, David Letterman told his audience that Sarah Palin’s daughter had been “knocked up” duing a New York Yankees game by 33 year-old Alex “A-Rod” Rodriguez. Sarah Palin’s daughter, the only child of hers attending that Yankees game in New York, is 14 years-old — making Letterman’s joke about statutory rape, and how funny it is that during a baseball game at the new Yankee Stadium Alex Rodriguez took time during one of the innings to rape Willow Palin, impregnate her, and then get back to his duties on the field.
The next day, on June 10th, 2009, David Letterman said Willow Palin had become a prostitute, and was now kin to the hookers hired by former Governor Eliot Spitzer.
This is, of course, in addition to Letterman calling the Governor of America’s largest state “a slutty flight attendant”, accusing her of having a crack habit, denigrating her intelligence, and implying she was a lesbian.
Just another night of “jokes” on the show Kellogg’s keeps on the air: the David Letterman show.
Kellogg’s needs to address this matter and clarify its corporate position on the statutory rape of 14 year-old girls and the forcible impregnation of minors. By continuing to send their advertising millions to CBS, Kellogg’s directly keeps the Ed Sullivan theater’s doors open, pays the light bill, and gives David Letterman his platform to exploit women.
Kellogg’s directly encourages the exploitation and rape of women in this country by helping to pay David Letterman’s salary, in upwards of $30 million a year.
Please write to Kelloggs and in a professional, polite, and direct one-page letter ask the six people listed below what Kellogg’s position is on statutory rape, David Letterman’s jokes, and the forcible impregnation of minors, as featured on the Late Show with David Letterman.
Write each one every day until Kelloggs pulls its advertising support of David Letterman. Write several times a day if you can. Keep writing until Kelloggs takes responsibility for the monster it keeps on the air by paying his salary and bills.

Does The Olive Garden support the statutory rape of 14 year olds?
The Olive Garden, a subsidiary of the Darden Restaurant Group, is one of David Letterman’s largest advertisers, along with Mars Candy, Kelloggs, and Hellmann’s Mayonnaise, all companies who cater to families and advertise themselves as family-friendly: and yet all pay millions of dollars to CBS to keep David Letterman on the air, where he makes “jokes” about Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees statutory-raping 14 year olds at baseball games, going on to say those 14 year olds are also prostitutes hired by disgraced former Governor Eliot Spitzer.
Does The Olive Garden support the statutory rape of 14 year olds?
Has Clarence Otis Jr., Olive Garden’s Chairman, decided promoting the statutory rape of minors by baseball players is the best way to sell unlimited salad and breadsticks?
Does Andrew H. Madsen, Olive Garden’s President, believe statutory rape of politicians’ children fits the brand and marketing strategy of his restaurant chain?
Because, it sure seems like Olive Garden thinks David Letterman is funny: as of 6/11/09, they are still advertising on David Letterman’s show, where on 6/8/09 the 62-year-old pervert told America Willow Palin was statutory-raped by Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees during the baseball game her mother, Alaska Governor, Sarah Palin, took her to at the new Yankees Stadium. Letterman said the rape resulted in Willow being forcibly impregnated by A-rod (“knocked up during the game”, as Letterman crudely put it). The following day, 6/9/09, Letterman claimed Willow was now a 14-year-old prostitute joining the ranks of the escorts serving the likes of Eliot Spitzer.
Letterman thinks the exploitation of a minor is hilariously funny.
What does The Olive Garden think?
Corporations voice their opionions with the money they spend: and The Olive Garden sure spends a lot of money keeping David Letterman on the air.
Here are the facts for writing to every member of The Olive Garden’s executive board:
(1) Willow Palin was the only Palin daughter to travel to New York with her mother Sarah Palin in June of 2009
(2) Willow Palin was the only Palin daughter to attend the New York Yankees baseball game with her mother Sarah Palin on June 8th, 2009
(3) Willow Palin is 14 years old
(4) In every state in the union, sexual relations with a 14 year-old committed by a man over the age of 18 is statutory rape
(5) New York Yankees baseball player Alex “A-rod” Rodriguez is 34 years old
(6) Sex between a 14 year old and a 34 years old is statutory rape in New York
(7) On June 8th, 2009, Late Show host David Letterman said Alex Rodriguez had sex with, and impregnated, the Palin daughter attending the New York Yankees game that day.
(8) The only Palin daughter attending the New York Yankees game was Willow Palin, age 14, making the sexual act and forcible impregnation Letterman “joked” about statutory rape under New York law
(9) On June 9th, 2009, David Letterman then stated that 14 year-old Willow Palin, the only Palin daughter in New York, was also a prostitute of the variety that serviced former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer.
(10) The Olive Garden is one of David Letterman’s biggest sponsors, running ads nightly on his program, where he tells “jokes” about statutory rape of 14 year olds, whom he later calls prostitutes.
Does The Olive Garden think these “jokes” are funny?
Is such brutalization and exploitation of minors part of The Olive Garden’s brand strategy?
What will be the response of The Olive Garden should concerned parents and citizens organize peaceful protests outside their locations in cities coast-to-coast until The Olive Garden clarifies its position on the statutory rape of minors?
PLEASE write to the following executives at Olive Garden and note their responses to you at this thread below. If you want to GUARANTEE these people will read your letters, FedEx-ing them will get them directly into their hands. Yes, it is much more expensive than putting a stamp on a letter, but in the corporate world regular first class mail ends up in a mail room and sorted by interns all summer. FedEx-es addressed to executives will be rushed up to the executive suite, where they will be delivered to the desk of their recipients in the morning. It is GUARANTEED the CEOs, Presidents, COOs, etc. will receive those letters.
All mail to corporations is recorded, we know that for a fact too. Each letter written in today’s day and age of telephone and email is counted as at least 6-10 people out there who did not bother to take the time to write (some companies we deal with say they treat each piece of mail as 20-25 unspoken voices sharing similar sentiment).
Keep it professional.
Keep it to one page.
Keep writing these people every day so that their mail rooms fill up to bursting with letters asking again and again if OLIVE GARDEN DOES INDEED SUPPORT THE STATUTORY RAPE OF 14 YEAR-OLDS, because their financial support of David Letterman and his late night perverse pigfest certainly says that to us.

(1) Clarence J. Otis — Chairman/CEO
(2) Andrew H. Madsen — President/COO
(3) David T. Pickens — Senior VP

When writing, please use your best manners, grammar, and professionalism. Zero expletives. Nothing that could diminish the message you are sending.
Just keep asking Olive Garden if indeed they do support statutory rape of minors and, if not, why they financially back someone who thinks such a horror is funny?
Write to all 8 people above every day for as long as you can keep printing out letters, sticking them in envelopes, and can afford to stick stamps on them.
Call your local Olive Garden and let them know you will no longer be eating there until such time as Olive Garden stops supporting the statutory rape of minors by advertising on the Late Show with David Letterman.
What would Al Sharpton do? We need to research the names of all C-suite execs and Board Members of Letterman's advertisers
Here’s a new site that just popped up: FireDavidLetterman.com
Let’s be clear: we do not believe CBS will do to Letterman what NBC and the radio networks did to Don Imus. In the words of our current administration, Letterman is “too big to fail”.
However, the family-oriented advertisers who support his show, like MARS Candy, Kelloggs, Hellman’s Mayonnaise, Olive Garden, etc. spend millions of dollars to keep Letterman on the air.
It’s a valid question to ask every single C-suite exec (CEO, CFO, COO, CIO, etc.) and every member of their Boards of Directors why their company financially subsidizes the exploitation and brutalization of minors and the abominable “joking” about a 14 year-old being statutorily raped and forcibly impregnated by New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez.
And it’s important to let these advertisers know that by continuing to buy ad space on Letterman’s show at CBS, they condone his behavior and, like Letterman himself, believe the statutory rape of a 14 year-old is funny.
Is this what Olive Garden is about?
Is this what MARS Candy is about?
Is this why people should buy Hellmann’s Mayo — if they think rape is funny?
Articulate, one-page, well-reasoned letters to the family-oriented advertisers of Letterman’s program (focusing heavily on MARS, which we imagine makes almost all of its money catering to candy-loving children and teens…and Kelloggs, which dropped Michael Phelps like a rock after his bong hit controversy) won’t get Letterman kicked off the air…but it will hit CBS hard at a time when they need every cent they can get.
The goal should be to take down three of Letterman’s big advertisers — and it will take a month or so of sustained effort to do this. In the aftermath, CBS will be shaken to the core and changes will come at the network…including, PERHAPS, Letterman’s early retirement for health reasons as some point in 2010.
If we hurt CBS financially enough…maybe more will happen. But, let’s start with an obtainable goal to flex bipartisan muscle and do what Al Sharpton does so easily in his sleep whenever he leads the black community on one of his charges. Because there ain’t NOBODY better at shaking corporate America to the core than Al Sharpton in full-on race-baiting mode.
Sharpton could drag Letterman off the air like he did Don Imus — but unfortunately, corporate America isn’t as scared of women and the men who support them as the suits are of the black community and cries of RAAAAAAAAACISM!
That’s reality, folks.
But, if we all work together and focus on bringing down THREE BIG ADVERTISERS, we can take one big step towards making the MSM as scared of misogyny and sexism as they are about RAAAAAAAAACISM! cries.
Right now, we need the NAMES of the CEOs, COOs, CFOs, CIOs, etc. of all the family-oriented advertisers on Letterman. Don’t waste time going after every commercial you see — we need to focus.
If there are 30,000 people out there who will write a letter…and they send those letters to 100 different companies, then each company gets only 300 letters = not that big of an impact.
But, if MARS Candy, Kelloggs, and Olive Garden each get 10,000 letters sent to their C-suite execs, SOMEONE will pick up the phone, call Madison Avenue, and yank the Snickers ads from The Late Show with David Letterman.
We do not know how CBS can afford to lose three large sponsors in this economy. Currently, Letterman is a fatted cash cow bringing millions to the network. But, once he becomes a financial DRAIN on CBS, his days will be numbered.
So, getting him fired — in time — starts with taking down his advertisers now. It won’t be easy. CBS is telling the advertisers that this will all blow over in a few days, and that all these women and the men who support them will forget about this by next week.
Al Sharpton makes sure the black community doesn’t let up until he gets what it wants.
Can we, a coalition of moderate Hillary Dems, Independents, and Republicans of all stripes do the same thing and work together to take down THREE OF LETTERMAN’S BIGGEST ADVERTISERS?
Can we organize protests outside the Ed Sullivan Theater the way Sharpton would?
Can we protest outside MARS CANDY’S headquarters?
Can we picket our local Olive Gardens and get media attention for it wherever we live?
Al Sharpton would get all this done in his sleep.
Can we?
Sometimes the universe brings the wrong French toast, people. Letterman’s brutalization of Willow Palin is a cosmic test: are we a bunch of people who just like to sit on the Internet and talk, or can we mobilize and take action to defend women when they are attacked in sexist and misogynist terms by the MSM?
Are we made of strong enough mettle to go the distance, put the effort in, and turn CBS on its ear by convincing THREE OF ITS BIGGEST ADVERTISERS to cut their support to the network because of David Letterman’s horrific remarks?
It starts with research, research, research.
We need every executive and board member of Mars Candy, Kelloggs, Olive Garden, and Hellman’s that we can find. If you add them to this thread, we’ll create pages for each one and can then start focusing on a sustained month-long letter writing campaign to these four companies until we succeed in getting at least THREE of them to dump Letterman. Maybe we’ll get all four, who knows.
None of us are Al Sharpton. This isn’t how we operate — but there’s a challenge before us, with the absolute sickest display we have ever seen on television. And Letterman deserves to go down for this.
But he won’t unless we take his advertisers down first.
And that starts with research here and now.
MARS CANDY is a big advertiser on David Letterman's show. What is MARS CANDY's position on joking about raping 14-year-olds?
David Letterman made disgusting, reprehensible, inexcusable jokes about Alex Rodriguez from the New York Yankees raping 14-year-old Willow Palin on Tuesday 6/9/09.
On Wednesday, 6/10/09, Letterman then compared 14 year-old Willow Palin to one of disgraced former Governor Eliot Spitzer’s prostitutes.
This is in addition to the vile things Letterman “joked” about Sarah Palin herself: alleging she has a crack cocaine problem, calling her “a slutty flight attendant”, insulting her intelligence, and degrading her as a woman, mother, and chief executive of the largest state in the union.
MARS CANDY is a big sponsor of David Letterman’s show.
David Letterman would not have a platform to joke about raping and forcibly impregnating minors without MARS CANDY. Everyone who works at MARS CANDY has a duty and obligation to urge their CEO to yank the ad dollars flowing from Snickers, M&Ms, and other MARS products into CBS and David Letterman’s nightly pigfest.
Use this thread to record your calls, emails, and letters to MARS CANDY. We will update with contact information for every C-suite level executive at MARS CANDY, since being one of Letterman’s biggest sponsors means MARS CANDY endorses the content of Letterman’s show, including his promotion of the raping and forced impregnation of minors by Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees.
Eating a Snickers bar means you’re helping David Letterman make jokes about rape.
Buying some peanut M&Ms keeps the lights on in the Ed Sullivan Theater, where Letterman promotes the exploitation of children.
Giving your child a Mars bar for a treat means David Letterman has another day on the air to brutalize someone’s daughter.
Think about where you spend your money in an economy where money’s so hard to come by for all of us. Do you really want to give that money to MARS CANDY?
If you believe this was the last straw and you’ve had absolutely enough of this garbage, as we have, please make your opinion heard to the people at MARS CANDY so they can reconsider their support for the most sexist and misogynistic program on television.

The very BEST way to convince MARS to abandon Letterman as a sponsor is to FedEx letters to the CEO, CFO, CIO, etc. We’ll find the addresses for you. FedExes bypass the regular mail room and go right up to the boardrooms at the executive level. They will be on the desk of the CEO in the morning, guaranteed. Regular letters will be read by underlings…FedExes go right to the top. So, if you have time to craft a very good, well-written, well-reasoned argument for WHY MARS CANDY needs to drop the Letterman show from its ad buy and no longer support the misogyny at CBS, then it might very well be worth the price that FedEx will cost to get in front of someone important who will actually read it.
Just a tip on what we know will get through to these people.
David Letterman has got to go, and MARS can help make that happen by canceling its ad buy — before households everywhere think of statutory rape every time they think of Snickers.

David Letterman knew full well he was brutalizing a 14-year-old on national television
There is just no way possible for David Letterman to claim, as he did on television last night, that he didn’t know he was brutalizing 14-year-old Willow Palin on Tuesday (but instead wanted to attack her older sister).
When Sarah Palin took this recent trip to New York to celebrate Secretary Seward’s purchase of Alaska, the abolitionist and women’s movements, and to show her daughter a good time in New York, we were surprised it was Willow in tow this time, and not the more usual Piper as her mother’s traveling companion.
Since last week, there’s been non-stop reporting of Willow Palin in upstate New York with her mom and dad. Willow Palin in a parade in Auburn, New York. Willow Palin at Harriet Tubman’s house. Willow Palin with her mother at a Yankees game in the new stadium.
14-year-old WILLOW PALIN.
For someone as obsessed with the Palins as Letterman clearly is, it’s absolutley impossible for him not to know the Palin daughter he said was statutorily raped by Alex Rodriguez (in his joke that “Palin’s daughter got knocked up” at the Yankees game) was 14-year-old Willow.
SOMEONE on his staff did enough research to know the Palins went to the Yankees game — try this experiment for yourself and try Googling anything on Sarah Palin + daughter + Yankees Game, and Willow’s name will pop right up not four words from her mother’s name over and over and over again.
WILLOW, WILLOW, WILLOW.
Letterman knew exactly what he was doing. He wanted to hurt Palin where it matters most: her family. He most likely always had his non-apology prepared ahead of time as well — as we speculated yesterday when we said, “Watch, he’ll probably claim he was talking about Bristol and will think that makes all of this okay. But, he knew it was Willow. Everyone knew Willow was the daughter traveling this time. But Letterman will lie and try to weasel out of this and claim he was attacking the oldest daughter instead.”
Slimeballs have excuses like this on file before they do things they know are wrong. You’ve certainly had people like this in your lives, we bet. Husbands who cheat, buying cans of paint or something ahead of time and keeping them in the trunk so when they “go out to Home Depot for a while to get paint”, they can really pop over to a motel for a fling. But they think they’re smart because they have that paint to walk in with as their alibi.
Only, the receipt in the bag is from yesterday, not tonight.
So, apparently, he time-traveled to the past and back to buy that paint.
True story, happened to our friend Abbey with an ex long ago, resulting, in fact, in that man becoming an ex.
It’s the same with Letterman. He wanted to do an Alex Rodriguez pregnancy joke and he wanted to brutalize the Palins. Maybe someone on staff said, “Dave, you can’t do this. She’s the wrong daughter. This one’s only 14, and it’s statutory rape if Rodriguez did what you accuse him of doing in that joke. You can’t do this.”
Sure feels like Letterman sat there, chomped on his cigar, then bellowed, “We’ll run it anyway. I think it’s funny. And advertisers like M&M Mars, Kelloggs, Listerine, Best Western, Embassy Suites, and Lexus, who pay for me to stay on the air joking about rape also think this is funny too, or they’d yank their ads from my show. Raping a 14-year-old is comedy gold. I’m David Letterman. I’m a pig who wears diapers. Quick, pass me another stogie. I need light one quick to cover up my feculent stench before the M&M Mars guys get here to eat a bunch of phallic-shaped Snickers and congratulate ourselves on how hilarious we all are joking about rape.”
If we could peak into the offices of World Wide Pants, this is pretty much what we imagine goes on before tapings of the most disgusting and misogynistic program on the air right now — a program funded by every candy bar you buy for yourself or your kids.
Think about that the next time you pass a vending machine, 711, grocery store, or anyplace candy is sold.
Do you really need a Snickers if it means putting one cent in Letterman’s pocket?
Carrot sticks and sliced apples sure sound better already…and are better for you too.
Might want to let Mars Candy know how you feel if you agree with us:

Thursday Open Thread
Which of David Letterman’s advertisers are you contacting today?
Which company that supports his television pigfest are you going to let know that joking about Alex Rodriguez raping a 14 year old girl on national television is not acceptable and will not be tolerated?
M&M Mars, Kelloggs, Listerine and other household products marketed to families with children advertise on David Letterman’s perverse show.
Who are you contacting at their corporate offices to let know their products are now synonymous with the promotion of statutory of rape of minors, because David Letterman thinks that so, so funny?
For those who are able to DVR or TIVO Letterman’s show, what commercials aired last night? Who’s willing to tape tonight’s show and write down all the commercials that appear on the air this evening as well?
A running list of Letterman’s advertisers is needed to effectively inform everyone supporting this pig that they will, too, be held accountable for what he says on the air.
