I will be boycotting Hallmark cards this season.

[dewsgirl]

1. I mentioned in another thread about how I would suggest

boycotting the Hallmark channel, but I don't know anyone who watches anymore. I feel kind of silly I didn't think of this. duh.

[roamer65]

3. No worries.

It really is a useless channel I wish I could get out of my Dish package. I’d rather have the Science channel.

But at least I been able to ax out all of the Faux owned ones.

2. Lol, I think the last time I even bought a Hallmark card I was in college.

Loooonngg time ago.

So any boycott from me would hardly be noticed. Never have watched the channel either.

4. Why? Crown Media? What did they do?

[CaptYossarian]

6. They 86ed an ad that showed a lesbian couple sharing a kiss.

I guess showing love is only for straight folks, according to Attila the Hun.

10. If they were opposed to it, why run it in the first place? Not true to their convictions?

[CaptYossarian]

11. They ran it when the check cleared. Then they watched it.

5. What's the issue here?

[TexasBushwhacker]

7. The pulled a commercial on the Hallmark channel that showed women kissing.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

9. Thanks. That would have been handy info in the OP.

[jmowreader]

13. Not just "women kissing"

It was a same-sex wedding ceremony.

8. One Million Moms can go eat one million bags of shit.

12. Wife watches the Hallmark Channel during the holidays...

...with that said. She never does during the rest of the year....and she hasn't watched it once ever since we got Disney+. And as for cards...yeah, we might buy those twice a year maybe? And don't have a clue as to the manufacturer. For festive events of relatives...we send gift cards in an envelope, and on a piece of paper write "Happy Birthday".

14. I think their page needs to be edited at wiki

15. Hallmark is kGOPb and American Greetings is Democratic. nt

16. At our house it's known as the Stepford channel

There’s a creepy sameness to everyone in those movies and all the movies have the same plot.

[katmondoo]

17. Movies on Hallmark are syrupy and boring.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

18. I have stacks of birthday and christmas cards.

I get five at a time for free from charities looking for money. Ok, not all are free, since I give money to some of the charities.

But I have stacks. The message on a card, however nicely phrased, is irrelevant. The cards are simply containers for checks to the nephews and nieces. I'm sure the cards are quickly ignored and discarded.



ps: Yes, nephews and nieces, the cards are once again on their way. Patience.

19. Stopped buying Hallmark years ago

Cards were fun but when you realize people simply open them, read it, smile or laugh, and put it down (where it then gets thrown away) I just decide it was not worth the $2 or $3 or $6 any more. So, no one gets a card any more and so far no one has complained.

Really stop buying this crap anyway. Wrapping paper same thing. Sure it's pretty, but if the wrapping costs more than the gift I'd think most of us would rather get the cash.

20. aside from the obvious hate message against the gaylesb community

Hallmark has managed to be included in cable packages of channels offered.

If you have cable, they will be getting support from you, whether you want it or not.

75% of the cable channels could not exist on their on, but this bundling allows cable companies to brag that they offer hundreds of channels for a single price of $XXX. I currently pay almost $250 per month for a cable/internet/phone bundle that offers hundreds of channels, yet we only watch about 50 (that is including all the premium channels like HBO/Cinemax/Starz. We only watch ONE sports channel (Olympic sports), and NO FOX channel of any category will ever dirty our teevee screen. Same with any religious channel.

A la carte cable offerings would eliminate a lot of this crap. I am tired of supporting venues that are working against my interests. With computer cable boxes, it should be easy.

edit for spelling

21. Hall Family have been major RW donors for decades....

As a Kansas City-area guy, I've become all too familiar with them. One of them (can't remember off top of my head now which one) was a raygun-appointed ambassador to somewhere back in the 80s.

22. lots of messages on their social media sites.... in case you feel like adding to it

I would love to watch this movie but I am very busy.
I have to return all the @crayola items I bought for kids this Christmas because their parent company is run by hate filled bigots.#boycotthallmark
