You Call That Respectful? Lowe’s has pulled its advertisements from the TLC show “All-American Muslim” after pressure from the Florida Family Association. Lowe’s statement:
Lowe’s has received a significant amount of communication on this program, from every perspective possible.

As a result we did pull our advertising on this program. We believe it is best to respectfully defer to communities, individuals and groups to discuss and consider such issues of importance.

From the CNN article:

Ask this guy how he’d feel if I replaced these trolls with a dead person in a trash bag:

Oh, right, you can’t ask him because HE GOT EATEN BY TROLLS. So I’ll just tell you: he’d be pretty fucking happy to make the switch.
