legion advertisers pulled out from Sean Hannity ’s Fox News show this week after Hannity urged his viewers to treat claims Alabama Senate campaigner Roy Mooresexually molested minorsdecades ago with entirely too much skepticism . Among themwere Realtor.com , 23andMe , and ELOQUII , but most notable was Keurig , which makes an eponymous brand of single - process burnt umber fuel pod machines .
Angelo , thank you for your concern and for bringing this to our attention . We worked with our medium better half and FOX word to hold back our ad from aerate during the Sean Hannity Show .

Other the great unwashed who shot the video appear to be under the impression that destroying the Keurigs will make liberals wild , instead of belly - express mirth at the view of conservatives demolish their own coffee auto in a paroxysm of impotent rage .

This telecasting , in which a dude cast out one of the machines from a 2nd - story balcony before shouting “ Hope you ’re felicitous , Keurig , ” is a particularly good monitor that humans germinate from primates .
.@Keurigmade a conclusion to pull ads from the@seanhannityshow .
This decision is disgusting , and will not be tolerated .
Regardless of any answer , I am done with you , Keurig .
You will regret this decision.#BreakYourKeurig#IStandWithHannitypic.twitter.com / qQ9BFkgzlS

Love it .
societal media users getting really mad and posting TV of themselves destroying thing they already own is just one of the many dense political stunts that have more and more become a staple fiber of ( mostly far - right field ) Twitter .
Please do not politicize me throwing my Keurig machine out the window today . It was for a totally dissimilar intellect . Just a coincidence

All the path back in 2003 , conservatives werepouring winedown the sewer in protest of France ’s opposition to the Iraq warfare , but the advance of smartphones , streaming video , and societal media thirst has given this silent tendency Modern life story . After cereal company Kellogg’spulled advertisingfrom far - right site Breitbart last year , several Twitter users posted video of them pouring perfectly effective food grain down the toilet . When a number of NFL player kneel during the interior hymn in protest of law brutality in rebelliousness of President Donald Trump , a number of Steelers fansburnt , ruin or gave awayexpensive squad merchandisein a series of cringe - inducing post .

To retread , all of these are unbelievable ego - possess because the distributor point of a boycott is pressuring the boycott company by refuse to give them money , and in all of these cases the boycotters had already paid for the product involved . So from Keurig ’s perspective , there are two outcomes : They ’ve recede the Keurig - destroyers as future customers but already got them to shell out hundred of dollars for anoverpriced , wasteful gimmick , or the Keurig - destroyers will calm down and buy a replacement when people kibosh caring about the hashtag .
Also , this intact disceptation spawned after Hannity played defense for an alleged nestling molester . Yelling at a company in granulose Twitter television while fecklessly waving pound and power tools is probably not the best manner to convince them you ’re not also a weirdo .
Within a few days the Keurig - haters will resume insistingthat they ’re not actually madand are in fact express mirth , but video recording grounds of the madness that gripped this nation in 2017 will subsist on forever .
Update 11/13/17 11:57am : On Monday , The Washington Postpublished a memoKeurig chief executive officer Bob Gamgort ship to employee stating the company did n’t intend to “ tak[e ] sides ” in the “ debate . ”
