UPDATE, 6/27/07:

The results are in.

Here’s an interesting poll from Corporate Accountability International:

Voice Your Choice in the Corporate Hall of Shame 2007!

Which of these corporations are the most abusive, manipulative and harmful? You decide.

Vote for the three nominees that deserve to be inducted this year—or use your votes to write in another corporate candidate. You can even post comments about why these corporations should be inducted. We’ll announce the three new inductees in June, so check back then, but vote now and spread the word to other voters.

The nominees include Coke, Exxon, Ford, Kimberly-Clark, Halliburton, Merck, Nestlé and Wal-Mart.

I voted for Exxon (their, erm, black enviro record) and Halliburton (hello, warmongers!), and wrote in Menu Foods Income Fund as my third choice. It’s doubtful that they’ll win - even if all 23 of my readers vote for ‘em! - but at the very least, it lets the folks at Corporate Accountability International know that animals abusers, like abusers of the environment and human rights, must be called out for their heinous actions. So write in your (least) favorite animal abuser and tell your fellow activists that members of all species should benefit from progressive values.
