RL Boycott Update

Whew! This has been a difficult week dealing with the boycott, but I think we’re all making some headway.

This is where we are now – The Ralph Lauren Company didn’t respond to my open letter (even though most of the high ranking executives at the company read it), so I called for a national boycott on behalf of all of the hundreds of thousands of women that were offended by his recent photoshopped ads. (See below).

I contacted CNN and told them that I was organizing a boycott of Ralph Lauren products on behalf of every woman in America that felt his ads were egregious and harmful to women and especially young girls.

CNN contacted The Ralph Lauren Company to get their side of the story and what do you know, they returned CNN’s phone call. I can’t wait for you to hear the statement that they gave!

Not surprisingly, an executive at The Ralph Lauren Company has been spending the last 2 days trying to keep me off of CNN. It would have worked, but the grass roots campaign that all of you have mounted by spreading my letter around was way too awesome. (I’ll explain exactly what happened in my newsletter early next week).

So tomorrow tune into CNN at 4pm Eastern Time:

4pm Eastern which is 3pm Central, 2pm Mountain and 1pm Pacific time.

Someone told me that Ralph Lauren is personally thinking about coming on to debate the issue with me. I will give him a lot of credit if he does it.

I want all of you to tune in tomorrow because this entire boycott is for you. Tomorrow will let every woman and young girl that signed the boycott letter know that you do have a voice. And tomorrow your voice will be heard.

I’d like to thank ANAD, IAEDP, the YWCA of America, Monte Nido, the thousands of health professionals, the universities and the tens of thousands of you that support me. Together we will make a difference.

Barring any last minute strategies by the RL Company, see you tomorrow on CNN.

Forever with you,

Darryl Roberts
