Michael Yon and Blackfive are calling for a boycott of HMF flagship magazine Car aand Driver and other HFM products. They have misused Michael Yon’s photograph and appear to be negotiating in bad faith with him in regards to settling this matter. As a fellow artist and publishing professional, I feel I need to support him in his fight with HFM. We all need to support him in this fight.

BLACKFIVE: Support Michael Yon – Boycott Car and Driver

HFM really misjudged Mike Yon. They tried to placate him long enough to get by, and then changed the deal and tried a strongarm tactic on Mike. So, how can we help?

We already might have done in Shock, but that’s not enough…

So I am calling for a boycott of HFM’s flagship magazine Car and Driver. Boycott’s are legal. Contact your clubs, friends, family, work groups, professional organizations, etc. You have more influence here than you might think.

Anyone want to start boycotts on the other magazines? Elle, Flying, etc…think about where you might fit in and get going.

Michael Yon : Online Magazine » Blog Archive » Actions Speak Louder

From the tone and tenor of their actions, reasonable people can intimate the disdain with which HFM views the blogosphere. The pages of the magazine evince the contempt this conglomerate has for American readers, and I believe many people will stand with me in protesting this way of doing business.
