Rockstar Energy Drink: Hate in a Can, part-owned and founded by Michael "Savage" Weiner

Whenever you buy a can of Rockstar Energy Drink you're putting money in the pocket of a man who says this about gays:

When you hear "human rights," think only one thing: someone who wants to rape your son. And you'll get it just right. OK, you got it, right? When you hear "human rights," think only someone who wants to molest your son, and send you to jail if you defend him.

You'll recognize these words from ultraconservative shock jock Michael Savage, whose real name is Michael Weiner. (It's easy to see why he adopted a pseudonym.) Back in 2003, the Savage Weiner was fired from a blessedly brief gig at MSNBC when he told a caller to "get AIDS and die."

...

Savage/Weiner is co-founder and part-owner of Rockstar Energy Drink. His son, Russell Goldencloud Weiner - yes, I said "Goldencloud" - is CEO of the beverage company and architect of a militia-esque group called The Paul Revere Society. (Russell once warmed up a rock concert crowd by screeching: "Who's heterosexual and proud? If you're not, hopefully you will be soon.")

OK!!! Note to self: DO NOT BUY ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINKS!

1. On the plus side, it also tastes like shit.

2. That it does! n/t

3. Tastes like shit, contains High Fructose Corn Poison, owned by Mikey Weiner

I think that adds up to 100% suckage, by any reasonable standards.

I don't know anybody who wants to rape Weiner's son. But I sincerely hope he goes bankrupt. :evilgrin:

5. Amen to Weiner's bankruptcy.

And I'm more than happy to contribute by not buying his products...
