A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Loretta Lynn carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

TLC draws as much as some network shows. And it's an audience they want. Home Depot didn't cave to anti-gay bigots, looks like they can step in on this show as well. Hell, there are Muslim ladies working at my Home Depot. | |

I go to Lowes to get the low price. Then head on over to Home Depot. They match the price, it's Home Depot policy. | |

Derek in DC:
An anti-Muslim, anti-gay group manages to convince an anti-union company to drop sponsorship of a TV show they don't like. I'm seeing some connections here. | |
|
Tue. 12/13/11 10:14am
Kurt:
Lowes and anyone else has the right to advertise or not wherever they choose despite what the PC crowd wants. And the muslims can have Detroit. Much of it looks like a war zone anyway. | |

Trouble, do you have some gentle robot-love instrumental music, preferably from Kompakt? | |
|
Tue. 12/13/11 10:20am
earwax:
Sounds like the Streisand effect. I never would have heard of the show or Lowes advertising on it. Now it's news because they cave into a small pressure group and Lowes looks like a bunch of dumbasses. | |
|
Tue. 12/13/11 10:21am

Hey, there's a great Streisand impersonator at the bar down from the street from my work next week. I should go check him out. St.Paul's slowly starting to get more interesting. | |

Yes, glenn, and if I went back in time, I could have stopped the Lincoln assassination. But what if it brought about giant, impolite woolly mammoths? Or daisies that shot lasers when you tried to pick them? | |

Tue. 12/13/11 10:34am
Fritz:
Dearborn is the Muslim area. It borders Detroit but is way different from Detroit. Dearborn is wealthier than Detroit and is the largest Muslim city in the world that isn't in a predominantly Muslim country. The Muslims in Dearborn came here to be Americans and they should be treated with the same respect that any other American is given. | |

Mark: Thanks. I was aware that 90% of our media is controlled by a small number of companies and getting worse all the time. Thanks to SOPA we may not even have the web for different views. Personally, I try to get all of my news from the FMU comment boards. Much more reliable. | |
