The advertisers who spend our money on obnoxicons.
OK. Here is the list, in semi-alphabetical order. Write letters. Be polite. Give demographically interesting information. Age, gender, occupation. Without going into detail indicate that you have disposable income, and are not likely to dispose of it with companies that spend it on things that offend you. Explain why the things bother you. Make it clear that you are not trying to censor anything. You are simply annoyed by something that serves no legitimate purpose, and you want it gone. Be prepared to back up any threats of product avoidance you may choose to make.

Paper letters have more impact than e-mail, so where multiple options exist, I suggest sending letters.

The only criteria for a company being listed here is that the company has advertised on programs, channels or networks that use obnoxicons, and I could get thier address. Nothing else should be inferred or implied from the presence of an entry on this list. Companies wishing removal from this list need only cease advertising on offending programs, channels, or networks, and make that fact public knowledge. Alternatively, making non-use of obnoxicons a non-negotiable part of the advertising contract and enforcing it will do nicely.

These are in a vague approximation of alphabetical order. The first letter will usually be right, order within that will depend on how rushed I am when adding listings.
