As much as I hate to admit it, I’m a long time, hard core fan of Red Bull. I got my first taste back in 1999 (I think that was the year) during a backpacking trip to London, England. In the few years that followed I wasn’t big on it because it wasn’t yet such a hit here in the states. But about five years ago Red Bull began its rise in the U.S. and I’ve been a very loyal customer for the duration of that time.

In fact, I had a Red Bull with breakfast this morning!

That’s all about to change, however, due to a company Red Bull pays for markting purposes. That company is Starving Eyes and their offense is a hate-filled, politically motivated video game called Tea Party Zombies Must Die.

As a libertarian minded tea partier I find myself in a difficult situation. Unlike big-government advocates like Bill O’Reilly and a lot of Republicans, I don’t believe government should be called up to address a hate-filled game such as this. I do, however, believe my right to choose where my money goes will stop my money from flowing into Red Bull’s bank accounts, and then into those of Starving Eyes.

Companies have a responsibility to be selective in who they choose to work with. No company should be sending money to another company that advocates slaughter of political opponents through video games.

Sorry Red Bull, but until I can confirm you’ll never work with Starving Eyes again, you won’t be getting any more of my money.
