I'm getting sick of AFA (American Family Association) that organization for conservative christians, it always called "boycott" around numerous companies, such as Ford, Rockstars, Hot Topic, Volswagon, Nike, Old Navy, Target and many things to boycott. That's so so so stupid then AFA need leave all companies alone, can't ask for boycott or make pressure. Most of AFA are not successful t make them to change it, only Blockbuster Video because they removed all of porn movies (NC-17) after much of pressure from AFA then Blockbuster Video is supposed to sue on AFA for being betray or bother them to losing their profits. Also, they are against on hip hop musics and rock musics (alternative, punk, metal) too but boycott from buy CD/DVD of hip hop and rock musics aren't work though.
That's see about AFA is fucking annoying and don't want to leave all companies alone then companies have rights to create/stock porn movies, support homosexual and other support on their views. If conservative christians don't like it then just ignore, stop complain and not buy it. Anti-Christians are growing rapidly in USA due increasing catholic, muslim and other religions but there's liberal christians as well. USA don't need demands on conservative christians, none of them are 100% rights and government and religions are separated, USA don't have national religions too. I'm glad that 90% of people don't support AFA though but most christians don't care about it, nothing to be deal with them. I just showing to promise about USA would become integrated country in before 2050 then just same example as in Brazil, that where races are extremely mixed and majority of liberal. New immigrant reform bills are othing to help because too much of protest then it can veto soon or whatever. I'm expected that homosexual are going be wider and more wider, more comfortable to support and give us better rights.

Activism
The AFA has a long history of activism by organizing its members in boycotts and letter-writing campaigns aimed at promoting socially conservative values in the United States. As of June 2006, it is promoting boycotts of Abercrombie & Fitch ("Use of softcore pornography in company catalogs"), Movie Gallery ("distributor of pornographic videos"), Kmart ("Sale of adult-rated music CDs") and Nike ("promoting a back door move to legalise homosexual marriage").
In the past, the AFA has promoted boycotts of all television shows, movies, and businesses that have promoted "indecency". The AFA has also launched specific boycotts against Crest, Volkswagen, Tide, Clorox, Pampers, MTV, Burger King, the Carl's Jr. hamburger chain, Kraft Foods, Mary Kay Cosmetics, Old Navy stores, NutriSystem, and American Airlines. In 2004, the AFA went after the movie Shark Tale, because the group believed the movie was designed to brainwash children into accepting gay rights. In 2005, it attacked the company American Girl, seller of dolls and accessories, because of a charity that the company supported, and Target for its lack of the word "Christmas" in its advertising.
AFA's boycotts have had mixed success. In 1990, Blockbuster Video decided not to stock films that carried the recently introduced NC-17 rating after pressure from the AFA. But a nine-year boycott of Disney resulted in none of the group's demands being met while Disney enjoyed a surge in profits.
The AFA failed in 2000 to persuade Congress to eradicate the National Endowment for the Arts for funding a controversial book, One of the Guys, by Robert Clark Young. In March of 2004, the AFA filed suit in an attempt to prevent the city of Seattle, Washington from recognizing same-sex marriages.
