have morons, will boycott


Here's something taken from The Star:

KUALA LUMPUR: More than 2,000 Muslim restaurants in Malaysia will remove Coca-Cola from their menus as part of a boycott of American products in protest against Israel's bombardment of Gaza, officials said Wednesday.American companies are being targeted because of the US Government's support of Israel, which is carrying out a military offensive on Gaza that is says is aimed at stopping rocket attacks from the Hamas-controlled territory.

The nationwide boycott will be launched Friday by several Muslim groups after they seek God's blessings at Friday prayers, said Ma'mor Osman, secretary-general of the Malaysian Muslim Consumers Association which is leading the campaign.In addition to Coca-Cola, he said they have identified some 100 other products ranging from food to beauty and clothing such as Starbucks, Colgate, McDonald's and Maybelline.

I reckon we should boycott these 2000 or so eateries; note how they're very quick to boycott US goods, yet have still not reduced the prices of food sold, despite the plunge in oil prices. I mean, if there ever was a blatant example of hypocrisy, these jokers are it.

Hence the term, pulling a fast one. So I say boycott all these restaurants until the price of Milo Ais drops to below RM 1.20 and a plate of nasi kandar costs less than RM 5.

Are you with me?
