Stardock Boycotting UPS? [Updated]

[Sep 28, 2009, 6:15 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Stardock boss Brad Wardell has updated his Facebook page with his objection to UPS pulling its advertising from FOX in objection to some of the comments by conservative host Glenn Beck (calling President Obama a "racist" in particular). Apparently Wardell is a fairly staunch conservative as well, which prompts him to say that Stardock does "a non-trivial amount of shipping with UPS" and that if they did not reverse their position on this, he would take this business to FedEx. Boycotts are somewhat common, but this is the first time we can recall the treat of a company being boycotted over their own boycott. Thanks GamePolitics via The Angry Bear. Update: Brad Wardell sent a statement about this story clarifying his position.

It wasn't publicized by me. One of my Facebook "friends" reposted a Facebook comment.
