Donut, thank you for pointing out the absurdity of boycotting and general category of anything.

You should rightly boycott Jamesons Irish Whiskey as this is owned by Pernod Ricard as is Black Bushmills (sob!), Chivas Regal, Glenlivet, Royal Canadian and Seagrams and last but not least Wild Turkey - is nothing sacred? Other alcoholic drinks that you should boycott include Jacobs Creek wine.

This is going to make life complicated isn't it. Don't stay at a Motel 6 or a Red Roof Inn - they are both French. Don't bank with the Bank of the West or First Hawaiian bank. You should not read the magazines Elle or Rolling Stone.

I'm afraid that you can't watch any films in Technicolor or listen to music on the RCA, A&M or Motown record labels. I'm sorry to say that the Sci-Fi channel is off limits as well.

Here's the good news. Grey Goose Vodka. Although the label says "Distilled and bottled in France," Grey Goose Vodka is 100% owned and operated by a US company

Happy boycotting!!!

Now - what about Canada? They claim that if they had Saddam they wouldn't hand him over. What about a boycott of Canadian goods?
I've got a better idea. Why don't the Americans buy all the French products, such as wine, and then pour it down the sink! That'll teach 'em
