FUCK RED LOBSTER. LET THEM FEEL THE BURN OF ALIENATING AT LEAST 50% OF THEIR CUSTOMERS.
Red Lobster is pulling advertisements from Tucker Carlson’s prime-time Fox News show amid an ongoing boycott against the conservative host for comments he made about illegal immigration and women’s pay.
“Red Lobster’s advertising buying guidelines reflect our core values and commitment to supporting programming that represents the highest standards of good taste, fair practice and objectivity,” the seafood chain said in a statement Tuesday.
“We reserve the right to make changes to our purchases when the dialogue is no longer in line with our criteria,” the company said.
Mr. Tucker sparked outrage last month after he claimed illegal immigration made the U.S. “poorer and dirtier.” More recently, he cast doubt on the claim that higher pay for women is a “victory for feminism.” Activists like ThinkProgress founder Judd Legum renewed the boycott, specifically calling on Red Lobster to pull its ads.
Mr. Carlson has lost more than 20 sponsors since the initial backlash, but due to the timing of Red Lobster’s announcement, the restaurant chain may be the first sponsor to pull ads from the show over the women’s pay comments, The Wrap reported.
A spokesperson for Red Lobster declined to say what prompted the company’s decision, The Wrap reported.
Fox News responded by recycling a statement from last month that attacked “far-left” activist groups for attempting to censor Mr. Carlson.
“We cannot and will not allow voices like Tucker Carlson to be censored by agenda-driven intimidation efforts from the likes of Moveon.org, Media Matters and Sleeping Giants,” Fox News said. “Attempts were made last month to bully and terrorize Tucker and his family at their home. He is now once again being threatened via Twitter by far-left activist groups with deeply political motives. While we do not advocate boycotts, these same groups never target other broadcasters and operate under a grossly hypocritical double standard given their intolerance to all opposing points of view.”
I’ve mentioned the soyboys Version commercial s as well as the Exon Mobil commercial.
How about the Apple Commercial where you can’t decern the carton character s gender?
Think that homo Tim Cook had anything to do with it?
Fuck boycotts. The Yellow Vests are going to pull money from Banks to get Macron to reseign.
We will split are country likewise. 2 banking systems. Let’s see who wins.
I’d boycott Red Lobster, but I’ve already been boycotting them – not for political reasons but because I don’t need 14 garlic cheese biscuits, which is about how many I ate the last time I was there.
“Red” says it all
Dumbfucks
Easy one to boycott – the local Red Lobster here has horrid customer service
Let Red Lobster know what you think of this decision. I did.

I used that link to complain. I had to give them my address and phone #. I didn’t mention that I don’t even have cable TV and haven’t set foot in their restaurant for years. So now I’ll get coupons. Maybe I’ll go if they have an “all you can eat”. I’ll go and eat about $84 worth of shrimp.
You don’t have to give them a real name / address / phone – they ask for First Name / Last Name. I used Dead Lobster for my name – their shit web site took it just fine. Same for 666-6666 for a phone number. Hell find the corporate phone number and stick it in there.
” I’ll go and eat about $84 worth of shrimp.”
Man you are a glutton for punishment. $84 dollars worth from there would be about two thousand dime sized shrimp, with ninty-five percent of it being fried batter. Be sure to put toilet paper on the shopping list.
Should’ve given those pieces of sh*t a bogus street address and phone number….I did.
I did also. Writing to politicians is worse than a waste of time but public corporations take them seriously. Let’s bury the yellow bastards with replies. Also, don’t forget to include Darden who owns dead lobster in your message.
Done!
The owner Corp. owns Olive Garden too.
Another magnet for Big Mama an her keeeeds.
Pasta & breads = Carbs = Fatass
Add loads of butter & maybe some Alfredo, & it’s a short trip to the floor, on their back, with EMTs hunched over you, revving up the defibrilator.
Blocked arteries & heart disease
Unless if consumed in moderation, and not to an extreme.
Rather some grilled fish and steamed leafy greens and or cruciferous veggies, with a glass of red.
Purchased & prepared at home.
Or organic chicken.
Or grass fed steak.
Good fat reco’s for high HDL:
Avacado, nuts, legumes, EVOO.
Good comment, but may I remind you that real butter and real saturated fats from healthy, organic, grass-fed animals are good for you. How did your ancestors live without getting obese and having many heart attacks and cancer while still eating saturated fats? Because they ate real, healthy food, not today’s crap. Eat like those who lived before your grandparents and you eat well.
Subwo, did you know that Olive Garden donates money to Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in America?!?!?!
No I didn’t. I imagine all the big companies donate. We stay away from big chain eateries .
Best advice yet, subwo.
Didn’t know that and I’ll let my better half know that because she thinks Olive Garden is great. Everybody, do you realize that 60+ MILLION babies have been MURDERED in our country since January 22, 1973 because of Roe v Wade? I just read a blurb by some legal eagle in the Trump administration saying that he thinks it will be overturned relatively soon because it’s unconstitutional. With Ruth Buzzie Ginsberg fading, the chances are greater than ever. Let us all pray to God that this decision that came straight from the depths of Hell gets overturned.
Olive Garden is the most over-rated, over-priced place ever…….the service is mediocre as well.
Here is there complete organization- eat where they don’t bully reporters!
Darden Restaurants, Inc. is an American multi-brand restaurant operator headquartered in Orlando.[4] As of April 2017, the firm owns two fine dining restaurant chains: Eddie V’s Prime Seafood and The Capital Grille; and six casual dining restaurant chains: Olive Garden, LongHorn Steakhouse, Bahama Breeze, Seasons 52, Yard House and Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen (the latter having been acquired on April 24, 2017). Until July 28, 2014, Darden also owned Red Lobster. Darden has more than 1,500 restaurant locations and more than 150,000 employees, making it the world’s largest full-service restaurant company.[1] As of 2018, Darden is the only Fortune 500 company with its corporate headquarters in Greater Orlando.[6][7]
Well, since I hardly ever eat out, no need to boycott. Start making your own food and forget these corporations.
Wolverine, thanks so much for the link!!! I sent them a nasty email!!!
Make mine a Chick-Fil-A any day.
Chick-Fil-A is one place I will eat. They’ve started adding organics to their menu and they’ve removed trans fats and high fructose corn syrup. Also, the owner is a Christian who doesn’t apologize for it.
Amen….We need more corporations to stand with Chick-Fil-A and support conservative values!
Red Lobster is to quality seafood as riots are to civility.
Horrible food, always was. Haven’t dined in one in twenty five years because of their ‘company values’.
A friend told me his wife calls it Black Lobster.
A reference to the predominance of the patrons.
Place is expensive as hell.
Ya think they’ll ever stop bitching about not having enough money to live?
If I’m struggling to make ends meet, I’m sure as hell NOT patronizing expensive restaurants.
I haven’t eaten there in years, and certainly won’t if they’re taking political stances. Fuck ’em is right.
Wonder if they accept the welfare debit cards for (4) meals of schwimp, crab legs, hush puppies, greens, & chowder.
Ya think?
Buying DOUBLE orders of spuds & hush puppies, as gauged by the sized of the asses straining the chairs there.
Yup! Niggas love Red Lobster.
She should see Benihana.
No, Red Lobster doesn’t take EBT. They simply use their welfare funds to purchase a meal there.
Fascism is here boys and girls… Chip
This action by Red Lobster pissed me off so much I actually wrote them a nasty note, something I rarely bother to do. Red Lobster (also known as Dead Lobster) is a down-scale seafood joint but serves a reasonable meal for a reasonable price. The morons running the place apparently don´t understand that far more than fifty percent of their customers are deplorable Trump people. I will never go there again and will urge others to avoid it.
There has to be a nation-wide campaign to strike back at the companies which are targeting conservative opinion leaders. These places should be picketed, handbills should be passed out, comments should be posted. A grass-roots effort could have immediate and drastic effects on these companies. It is not enough to boycott them. We must demand that the company officials who make these decisions (you can imagine the kind of people they are) be dismissed.
I suggest picking a few of the companies that have dropped Tucker and concentrate on them. Red Lobster, surely a place with a fairly thin profit margin, would be an excellent place to start. Start posting on You Tube, on other Internet sites and anywhere else you can think of. “No to the Dead Lobster” “Red Lobsters Stink” Fish and Red Lobsters Smell After Three days”
Use your imagination.
Southern Sage, all excellent suggestions! Well done, sir!!!
And I left my true name and address. At this point it makes no sense to give a shit about these leftist freaks. I am in a favored position as my income is secure, but whatever…….
Turn Red Lobster into dead lobster.
Badmouth, boycott and litigate.
No more Red Lobster? We’re all going to die.
Been there a couple of times: Mediocre food at high prices. Most of the patrons are coons / spics / geriatrics / morbidly obese. Won’t be back again.
Where truth isn’t an actual crime it can be a virtual crime as evidenced by Carson’s plight. He’s about the only sane voice on the idiot box.
We’ve been staying away from Red Lobster for years; can’t take their attitude. Now I have an idea why.
Boycott Red Lobster? Well, I suppose you make a point PLUS your stomach and gastrointestinal tract will thank you too. You can get better food (and fresher) from the T.V. dinner section of the grocery store.
Do not ever eat there. Boycott or not. The “seafood” is mostly farm raised in Thailand and Indonesia, shipped overseas frozen and delivered by diesel spewing box trucks. So says my cousin who used to manage one in CA. Kinda like everything else.
If you watched Tommy Boy and remember the scene when David Spade orders the shrimp cocktail and the shrimp is limpy and not deturded? Kinda like that.
Yeah, the homogenoization of America is awful; most towns the same with the same crap stores. Homo Depot, Walmart, Red Lobster, Costco, Ross, et al.
All selling shit from China, including the food.
Wasn’t by accident this happened.
How sad.
What do you mean by “deturded”???
de-veined – the removal of the digestive tube
He means deveined. The shrimp’s digestive tract runs
in a ‘vein’ along the shrimp’s back, which most cooks
remove after cooking and peeling off the shell.
(I ALWAYS devein shrimp I cook, eat, and/or serve
my guests).
I just use a sharp paring knife, but you can purchase
specialized tools for this.
Or as the jigaboo says devined
2 links here,the top one is the boycotters & the bottom one is the stickingwithhimsofarers–
most of the boycotters seem to just be moving their ads off his show,not fox–

Interesting that he was boycotted by SODASTREAM the company from Israel, the country who believes in keeping immigration limited to ZERO.
I have now added Red Lobster to my list of boycotted companies which keeps getting longer and longer. There is an opportunity for a new chain of restaurants founded by and for true conservative patriots. Tasty, healthy (non-GMO, no hormones, no artificial favoring, no preservatives, no pesticides, etc.) food served serve in a family oriented and decent environment absent subversive propaganda and degeneracy.
I last dined at RL in the early 1980’s. I have not been back and have not missed it.
I last went to a Red Lobster about 15 years ago. I quit going because it always seemed to be chock full of loud, raucous ghetto-dwellers.
Red Lobster. Do you mean to tell me that people still go to Red Lobster. What a god awful restaurant.
At least two companies we do business with (John Deere and Farmers Insurance) are sticking with the show. We may need to take a closer look at Mitsubishi products in the future.
I never have ate at a Red Lobster. Now I definitely will not eat there!!! Fox’s statement was on point and absolutely true. Props to them for having the cajonies to say the bold truth about the situation!!!
I’m 65 and I don’t ever remember being in a Red Lobster. So I guess I’ll keep doing what I’ve been doing not going to Red Lobster.
On their TV commercials the food looks gross anyway, yek.
Wondered how long Tucker Carlson would remain on the air.
This society cannot stand to be told the truth.
We will see what he is made of.
It’s always good to know when a filthy company like Red Lobster exposes itself to their depraved ideals. Another dumb company commits financial suicide.
Even though the food and service sucks and I have only been there one time in my life and decided to never go back, I still hammered them on twitter today.
We still have Chick-Filet 6 days a week remember Red Lobster is a chain associated corporately with other restaurants so be sure to get those letters out and if you have gift cards sure use them but don’t tip tell the server their politically correct corporate assholes need to pay up because you are only using up a gift card and will never be back , tell them this after desert and the check comes .
Old Boat Guy lost income to corporate shenanigans such is the life of working people . We have little control but being sure companies get bad press is the one thing we can do . Be like Mr Pink don’t tip at Red Lobster ! LOL
If you still go to Red Lobster, I hope you will tip, because the employees aren’t responsible for advertising, though they may be progressives, but how will you know. If they’re just bad wait people, sure, don’t tip . This may be the only job they can get in the area, but at least they’re working. Boycotting cuts into the big-boy’s bottom line just like the rest of the employees, so go for the big guys.
This must mean that the Darden board of directors must agree with the threats and vandalism done by ANTIFA protestors to Mr Carlson’s home and vehicle not to mention the terror they inflicted upon his wife and children ! Perhaps a make America Great Again boycott of all Darden restaurants is in order
Their parent company has been trying to dump this chain for the last 10 years with no takers, no wonder. The seafood joints have the highest food cost and forget fresh for chain logistics. They have to charge outrageous prices on their menus to make a profit, then discount with coupons to generate any traffic, soaking the rubes who missed the coupon part.
I read about this on “Breitbart” and all the commenters were going to stop eating at Red Lobster. It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten at Red Lobster, so I won’t miss it.
Just sent them an e-mail telling them sayonara; to pound sand for pulling the plug on Tucker Carlson…………. People, all this sniping between the Right and the left is all kind of immaterial……….. the fascist/socialist left knows what we on the Right know; that there are HUGE problems associated with the influx of illegals but guess what?….THEY DON’T GIVE A F*CK…..they have an agenda, of course…….the crux of the matter is that the fascist/socialist left wants as many of those f***ing illegals to cross over into OUR country as possible. The easily remembered and SCARY formula for us on the Right is: ILLEGALS = VOTES FOR THE left; VOTES=POWER; POWER =SOCIALISM/COMMUNISM…..BELIEVE IT!
Dude, patrons of Red Lobster don’t watch Tucker Carlson.
My family hasn’t been back to Red Lobster since they boycotted Tucker Carlson. We don’t plan to go back until they quit boycotting him and return to advertising on his show!!!!
