Omaha Steaks - Stick a Fork in 'Em

[sevlex]

(The Title should read OMAHA Steaks - Doh!)

This is unbelievably stupid of a business that relies on people who eat red meat (as opposed to tofu eating vegan lefties).

Omaha Steaks Drops Glenn Beck

/snip
We took your comments regarding the Glenn Beck Program to heart. After further review and careful consideration, we have decided to pull all advertising from Glenn Beck programming effective December 20th, 2010. /snip

Then they backtracked:

The staff writers of our blog responded incorrectly and I want to apologize for any confusion this may have caused. The facts are: we did not “pull” our ads from any show. Our holiday TV advertising contract ends on December 19th. Our contract never specified when our ads would air, only that they would air. Mr. Beck’s show is enjoyed by many, and we at Omaha Steaks hope our steaks are too. Our marketing is designed to speak to Americans who love steaks and great food, getting together with family and friends and giving gifts of great taste – no matter what TV shows they watch or what newspapers they read.

btw: Bruce Simon is a democrat who has donated tens of thousands to democrat politicians.

Seems like he weaseled out after realizing the only people who approved of their boycott were those who don't eat steak.

Choke on a bone you sanctimonious hypocrite.:1139png:

For the last 5 Christmases I've bought my mother and step father a package of steaks from Omaha steaks, not this year.

Never heard of them and now that I have I'll avoid them like the plague.

I usually order steaks from them as gifts to referring businesses and other referring doctors... not this year!

Here's the quick message I just sent them...

-------------------

Dear Omaha Steaks,

In light of your recent decision to stop advertising on Glenn Beck's program, I have decided to stop ordering steaks/meats from your company.

Are you guys nuts? Your business relies on people who eat RED MEAT! If you wish to start catering to the liberals now, you might want to change your name to "Omaha ToFu".

Respectfully,
I think your decision to drop Glenn Beck was a mistake... as such, I refuse to order more steaks/meats from you.

Merry Christmas... not x-mas, not happy holidays, but Merry CHRISTmas, for this season is about Christ's birth and nothing less.

Here's where to give them a piece of your mind:

To Whom it may concern,

In light of this article I read on this site: ( http://stopbeck.com/2010/12/16/omaha-steaks-drops-glenn-beck/ ) I am reconsidering purchasing your steaks as Christmas presents. I feel politics has no place in business, especially this time of year. Your decision to play politics with advertisements forced me to find another source for my presents to my friends and family.
Sincerely,

Add another one here, I was actually planning on trying them this year too... well back to Butcher Franks...

I've heard of them, but never bought any from them.
That will continue.

I dropped my motorcycle insurance with Geico over this kind of issue. Wish I was a customer of this meat company so I could stop with them too. Oh well, guess I'll just never buy from them.
