The "boycott" won't last more than a few days or weeks. Will barely be a blip in their revenue. You really think that of the hundreds of millions of consumers that they're going to stop buying their Frosted Flakes and Pringles because they stopped advertising on Brietbart? Do you really think the mother buying for their kids are going to stop buying their Apple Jacks and Pop Tarts and have to explain that they are depriving their children of what they really like because of politics? Really? Like people in Asia, Europe, and other markets are going to give a fuck.

The child-labor will blow over soon enough as well. Probably a bigger factor in their price drop than some stupid boycott by a right-wing nutter blog. I'm guessing this isn't a widespread practice that keeps the cost of production of all their products artificially low. They'll weed it out, and it will pass in days to weeks. Again, average consumer isn't going to give a shit.

I'd be surprised if profits from these two incidents is affected by this more than 5% for a single quarter. And that is being extremely pessimisti8c.

"Mom what the fuck is this shit?"

"I am not buying Apple Jacks because we are boycot...."

"The fuck? Get with the program bitch we want Apple Jacks."

You are fuckiing deluded if you think this "boycott" is going to have any long term impact on Kellogg's. This won't even match a week's variance in sales.

That "nutter blog" has 45 million monthly readers. If enough of them really want to, that is an enough people to make a very significant impact on the company. And Breitbart has offices in Europe too by the way. They are a worldwide media company. And their Facebook page is literally the most active news page on Facebook. They get more action on their page than CNN, Huffington Post, New York Times etc.

I doubt it. Show me a link so I can do what you republican nutters never do, and apply critical thinking to whatever bullshit you send my way.
