Press release from DISH ADVERTS
ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Dec. 1, 2009 – DISH Network today issued the following statement in response to the public’s reaction over the company’s use of the words “Merry Christmas” in a TV commercial (
YouTube - We DISH You a Merry Christmas
“Since being called a “Patriot” on last night’s edition of “The O’Reilly Factor,” (
Pinheads & Patriots: 11/30 - Video - FOXNews.com
), DISH Network has received an outpouring of both support and displeasure from people across the country over the use of the phrase “Merry Christmas” in a holiday greeting to our customers. DISH Network acknowledges and respects the diversity of faith in our country, but at the same time recognizes the overwhelming majority that celebrate Christmas. We cannot imagine that Americans of all faiths would not want to embrace the spirit of the holiday and join us in wishing Christian Americans a very Merry Christmas.”
It is good to see Dish getting something positive for a change.

Most of the time people worry about offending people who are not offended. Personally I love it I posted it to my facebook saying how cool it was for a big company to wish people a merry christmas

Yes I am so tired of people complaining about being offended if you are offended just change what ever channel or what ever that is offending you and stop talking about it. Originally Posted by hyperguy

Ridiculous... people object to a tradition like "Merry Christmas" but eat up "Black Friday" and "Cyber Monday" like its crack
