I am recently disappointed with the decision by Sen. Ted Lieu to publicly use his position to try and influence and corporation to keep ads on a TLC tv show. It’s not because I side with either side of the fence on the show, rather this is America and one is given the right to choose whether to place an ad on a show or not. It is in no way the governments business whether a company withdraws ads or not. In the end, the people will influence the company the most by their shopping habits. Those upset with Lowes decision can simply choose not to shop there, those happy with it can shop there.

It all comes down to consumer choices. By the way, Lowes wasn’t the only one who decided to pull the ad. Unfortunately this gave the Rush Card ample opportunity to advertise and be outspoken which will give it more word of mouth reviews than any other prepaid card at the moment. 

If you view Sen. Ted Lieu’s twitter you can see all the happy and angry comments he has gotten thus far at http://twitter/com/tedlieu . What really bugs me is if he’s willing to do this for one situation now he put himself in a predicament to do this in all situations. I simply asked him if he could now tell MTV their show Jersey Show and the term guido is discrimination and to date he has not responded. Rather, when asked if he is endorsed or friends with anyone at TLC he simply responded he likes the Colbert report and would support the Colbert PAC… quite a sense of humor on a serious subject. I guess he needs to try and turn it around somehow.

oh well back to the land of twitter.
