> [@Eddie The Horrible](#): > > If anyone, more (_somehow_) diligent than yours truly, can conjure such a list, then that would be a very special, special thing. A lot of times companies have absolutely no idea what websites their ads wind up on. An ad service, or usually several of them, shuffle ads in and out of the pages people view based on their location and other browsing history, etc. so it would be very hard to get a definitive list. The twitter feed called [Sleeping Giants](https://twitter.com/slpng_giants) seems to be very diligent about finding the advertisers and contacting them, but to do so they are asking people to visit Breitbart, take a screenshot of the ads they see and then contact those companies with a Tweet to complain. That might be effective in the long run but in the short term that idea has the serious flaw of driving up their page impressions and generating even more revenue for them and the ad services. To really go to the source you’d need to contact the ad services themselves, not the advertisers, and ask them not to accept Breitbart’s business but that isn’t likely to happen. They may advocate for a white America but their money is still green. ---

> [@](#): > > Breitbart News is the largest platform for pro-family content anywhere on the Internet. We are fearless advocates for traditional American values, perhaps most important among them is freedom of speech, or our motto ‘more voices, not less.’ Traditional American values like browbeating and intimidating someone who doesn’t agree with you. “More voices that agree with us, not less.” So, shall we say, deplorable. For such rugged individualists, they sure get butt hurt easily. ---

No two snowflakes can be identical! I guess they have to be individually made by hand. If made by American workers, the cost of a box is $534. Made in Mexico? Cost of a box is $2.79. ---
