TLC sponsor list for contacting or boycotting

Recommended Posts

I just checked out the Cancel the Duggars Facebook page. I don't understand why they're posting all of these unicorn colored meme-style images from "FAKE Jim Bob's Gay Hair." How does that help dissuade sponsors from supporting them? It's tacky and many of the images are offensive. And they're encouraging people to post them on sponsor's pages. I can't imagine any company that sees that content would react positively. If anything it will just get the poster blocked and then they won't be able to leave any feedback, such as a reasonable written argument about the sponsorships.

They completely devolved and went off the rails. Its really sad because they were on task and serious, now they're no better than the humpers they are fighting against. They need to seriously reign themselves in.

I've been writing to Discovery Communications Viewer Relations frequently, mentioning contacting and boycotting advertisers, but I decided to hone in on one aspect of the show recently and that's that the mission work is all about converting Catholics. SOS Ministry, which is the group the Duggars are affiliated with for mission work "overseas" in Central America, is rabidly anti-Catholic. After Ben's first trip over he got into all that hot water for posting anti-Catholic crap on social media.

I've pointed out to Discovery Viewer Relations that this is bigotry that they're going to showcase and promote with these new specials, and that THEY (Discovery) are still mentioned on SOS's website as being affiliated with the Duggars and getting their programs ABOUT the ministry on the air. It's been that way since 2011. Discovery/TLC = anti-Catholic. And just after Pope Francis was here.....

I also threw in there that there might be quite an impact if the advertiser list was published in Catholic church bulletins across the U.S.

I don't care if they end up cutting the mission work from the specials, this is WHO THEY ARE and NONE of it should air.

630 sponsors have pulled out, according to this Starpulse article which seems to be getting their info from the no more duggars fb page. That's an outrageous jump from the 130 or so that had pulled out in early October (less than a month ago) but I looked at the nomoreduggar hashtag on Facebook and it looks like they are targeting every advertiser for Discovery communications and TLC ever. And the public opinion has been swaying a lot, so maybe 500 sponsors did confirm over the last month that they won't sponsor this show. 

I'm also wondering if all the sponsors will stand by what they said and not advertise. I hope so, but who knows who answers the Facebook page compared to who controls advertising.

Sign the Change.org Petition:

If 19 Kids and Counting isn't canceled permanently (including air time for reruns and any spinoffs) your stores and products will be boycotted for your support of the Duggars. General Mills has already black listed the show, please do the same.

I was and then the only non-TLC ads I got were for Saiontz & Kirk, P.A. birth injury lawsuits, Recapture360 skin cream, and Keranique hair growth treatment. Other people got advertisements from major brands though. Someone said those may have appeared due to their local cable company and not the advertiser's choice. Hopefully the companies clarify what happened.

I just watched it (I recorded it) and the ads were for Beezid, Dish Network and one credit reporting company, forget the name, let me look........can't find it....started with an "S". And all the other commericals were for TLC upcoming shows.

I had some ad for recapture 360 and the others were from the cable company or CBC. I'm going to assume those cable company ones were in place of advertising space that had to be used up somehow.

I dont recall an ad for Culvers.  I know that UPS has since promised not to advertise further (because I emailed them).  I'm not sure about the others.

There are a few in the Phoenix area. I live about 2 miles from Arizona in Utah and we have had a culvers here for a few years. 

Culvers had ads on here. I didn't watch but my neighbors had the show on their DVR.

 

I also reviewed multiple ads from Denver Mattress. I was pretty upset since 2 weeks ago I had to buy my son a new XL mattress and they were the only one in our city with one in stock and I spent a fourtune on it. My husband who doesn't usually get too involved in my Duggar rants, went out to his truck and got the receipt and scanned it in my computer and said send them an email.

I don't know where to post this, but what ever happened to getting the tax records for the "ministry" of Jill and Derrick?  Weren't tax statements supposed to be available for non profits?

For what it's worth, I sent an email to Silk Almond Milk saying I was disappointed with their advertising on the show. They responded two days later to say they have decided not to continue advertising with the show.

Does anyone know if IFC(Independent Film Channel) HGTV, and POP TV are still advertising? Someone on Cancel the DUggars FB saw them advertis. I'm wonder if the Duggars knew IFC, they would want it pilled. It has some pretty racy movies..

Well, did they ever say whether contributions to them were tax deductible? If they're not a 501c3 (I could be wrong about the numbers) then they don't need to be accountable to anyone.

Yes, they're supposed to be 501-something.  I read that somewhere but I don't remember where.

I just saw an article on the Daily Fail that Cici's Pizza, UPS, and Verizon didn't realize their ads were running during Counting On and are angry and pulling them. I'm sorry but LOL
