Oh. Wow. Those quotes are unbelievably intolerant and ignorant. I hate Rockstar anyway, because it’s just bad, but this ensures that I’ll NEVER buy it.

I agree with Boris – why would you drink that crap in the first place? It’s garbage, and so is the owner Michael (Weiner) Savage.

Beside being ceo-ed by a monumental douchebag, a follower of the phelpsian monster, no doubt, Rockstar drink is mostly water and sugar and artificial flavoring that is bad for the body. So each reason is enough by it self to boycot the vile product!

Post Part II – my brother is a beverage distributor and sells Rockstar. I will have to get his opinion as well.
I did some research: following from Salon.usa:
Rock Star is a family business. Michael helped formulate the drink, drawing on his long-time background as as a botanist and herbalist. Wife and mother, Janet Weiner handles Rock Stars finances. Russell has toured with his father, helping to promote his father’s extreme beliefs. By all accounts, he seems to share these beliefs enthusiastically.

Thanks for the boycott hint Alexander! I have way too many friends who drink that stuff and will now all will be alerted to dump it! I LOVE LOVE LOVE your blog – I have spent a couple of weeks every year of my life in Tucson visiting my beloved auntie and the desert references make me smile. Keep up the fabulous work!
