TACO BELL BOYCOTT WEEK 3
Congratulations to all of you who continue to join the boycott! As of today, YUM BRANDS stock is down -6.13% since the boycott began. Taco Bell has seen their profits tumble since the boycott began and they will keep going down. During the same time, Del Taco profits have doubled. None of this would have happened if Taco Bell would have done the right thing and apologized and pulled their rip off designs off the shelf. The boycott continues to grow in numbers and more and more customers are switching to Del Taco. Our industry sources tell us that STROTTMAN has been secretly interviewing creative directors from neighboring agencies to replace MIKKO MERONEN. We think this is a good start and a public apology should follow. We will continue to boycott Taco Bell until they remove all Bell Hedz from all locations. Kid Robot’s lawsuit against Taco Bell and STROTTMAN will only get bigger the longer the Bell Hedz are on the shelf. The people have voted with their pocket books. Hopefully the good that will come out of this is that future rip off artists will think twice and not want to join MIKKI MERONEN on the wall of shame.

I think it’s great that Taco Bell has put more edge into their kid’s toys. Creating thinly veiled novelty sex toys is briliant. Young people today are more sophisticated about sexuality and this hits the mark. Congradulations Taco Bell! Or should I say Dildo Bell? Ps If Taco Bell is going to sell sex toys will Spencer’s Gifts start selling tacos?

TACO BELL BOYCOTT WEEK 2
My heart goes out to all of the people at Kid Robot that MIKKO MERONEN OF STROTTMAN ripped off. Several industry sources have confirmed that Kid Robot has issued a cease and desist letter to Taco Bell, and Taco Bell has been cooperative. I have received thousands of emails from people joining the boycott until Taco Bell removes all Bell Hedz from all locations. The public is tired of corporate scandals where big companies pick on the small guy. Taco Bell has an opportunity to do the right thing here. First, they need to issue a public apology and remove all Bell Hedz. Second, they need to settle with Kid Robot. Finally, they need to show that they do not associate with companies that rip people off and hurt their livelyhoods. The Taco Bell investors will be hurt by the fallout of this as well, similar to the Bernie Madoff investors. MIKKO MERONEN AND STROTTMAN have been around long enough to know how badly this will hurt Kid Robot. Yet, they had no creative ideas of their own and ripped them off. On their website it says they understand what motivates and inspires kids. Is teaching kids to steal motivating and inspiring? MIKKO MERONEN thinks so. Finally, here is my advice to the STROTTMAN employees that keep trying to save their jobs by writing comments on here. It’s time to dust off your resume and make a run for the border!

I love how this protest has pretty much fed the fires for the BellHedz. If the silly, elitist toy snobs hadn’t caused such a fuss, these things would have been forgotten within a week. Now Taco Bell stores are reporting sell-outs before the toys even hit street date! Go BellHedz!!!!!!!!!!!!

BOYCOTT TACO BELL UNTIL THE BELL HEDZ ARE DEAD. This Boycott started yesterday and will continue until they remove all Bell Hedz from all locations. Thousands have already joined in this boycott. MIKKO MERONEN of Strottman should have thought twice before ripping off Kid Robot.
