Other than that, you got a fairly good weblog here, hold up the very good work.job I am in agreement with exactly what anyone has stated, the crucial factor is to look at it coming from a various standpoint (as I carry out many of the period).

Some very interesting reading you talk about Bigelow bailing on IMUS, is it not their right to support or not support. Who are you people that force your opinon's on others ? What about Tiger Woods sponsor's bailing on him are going to quit golfing or buying products that he endorsed. Seem's to me if you treat everyone as an equal you morons won't have any place to shop. Why is it a minority like you people that are bailing on Bigelow Tea think you should speak for the majority. Bigelow Tea can be bought in almosy any grocery store they are not cancelling their orders, the way I see it you will be the loser, Bigelow Tea is the best tea made, you should be thanking them for the support they have given not push your morals on them, to satisfy such a small group would be stupid on their part. Grow up and go drink red rose you deserve it. Barry Bigelow Just doing some bigelow research when i came upon this website.

So what if Bigelow supports Imus or not? This is turning into a much bigger deal than it should be. If you like their products, drink them! Boycotting their tea simply because they no longer sponsor a guy on the radio is stupid and childish. What is wrong with you people?!? So what if Bigelow supports Imus or not?

If I have to come up..." We quieted down and went to sleep. This too shall pass. I'll buy more Bigelow as a result of everybody's knee jerk reaction. Not because of any other reason than you are a loving family business and everybody needs to cut each other a little slack.... My father would yell up the stairs, “You kids settle down up there.

When the rest of television is cleaned up accordingly is when I may ever drink a cup of Bigelow tea again. I do think the comment was awful and uncalled for but a suspension would have been not only adequate but fair. I am not from a huge corporation but every little bit counts.

It is not about Al Sharpton. It is not about rap music. And it is certainly NOT about free speech. The air waves in the US are "federally regulated", ever heard of the FCC? It has never been ok to say whatever you want to say on the air or on tv. If there were truly free speech, there would be nothing special about the so-called "shock jocks". What Imus engaged in was "HATE speech", not free speech. What makes it worse, is that his victims, and that is what they are, is that they were innocent targets, minding their own business putting Rutgers on the map at the highest level of sports. They are only teenagers, really. I wonder how many of your Imus supporters would tell their own daughter, "get over it" if she came home and said some man she didn't know called her a "whore" while she was just out minding her own business. They would be horrified and would act accordingly. The fact that your readers characterize Imus' remarks in tepid terms like "inappropriate, unfortunate, or ill-advised" reveals a true (and sad) lack of sensitivity. No one is even mentioning the players. Hey, get over it! I want to listen to Imus insult everyone under the Sun, and because he uses his verbal shotgun on everyone, these women should not complain about it. He's an equal opportunity verbal assasin, and so that makes it alright. Congratulations, Cindi. I will continue to be a Bigelow drinker and will encourage everyone in my (quite sizable) corporation to do the same. This is not about Jesse Jackson. It is not about Al Sharpton.

I am so sad to see in action the so-called "ethics" of your company. I do not find it "American" to place a laser beam of blame onto one individual because of the ills of the whole society. IMO, that's what you have helped to do! P.S. I've ordered an IMUS coffee giftpack online. I will be returning my unused Earl Grey tea to your corporate office.
