Tisana and I were talking about this at Diesel last Thursday - the moral implications (or not?) of Curves:

And Tisana, the organization I was trying to remember from being super vocal at the March last year was Operation Rescue . . .

Related, I never knew about the Dominos owner and his political leanings. Are there any other large companies in this boat (besides Coors, who the article mentions) that you're aware of?

I was bummed about the coors thing as they distribute two great beers that I no longer drink:

Killian's Irish Red and Blue Moon. Both are tasty cost effective micro-brew-esque beers.

People often don't realize that just because something doesn't say COORS or WALMART or DOMINOS right on the front it is still the same company.

Definitely! I was sad to hear some bad things about Old Navy's practices. Then I found out they were owned by the same company as the Gap (who I haven't purchased things from for years). No! They are the only store that's got jeans that fit my weird lower body :/

gap, old navy, and banana republic are all the same company.

yup, and gap is the corporate identity that the rest are subsidaries of/owned by/whatever. also add in to that mix, country road australia - if they even exist anymore?
