A boycott is only effective when you boycott the actual problem.
Montgomery Bus Lines was a problem, so people boycotted Montgomery Bus Lines. That makes sense, and the boycott was successful and historic.
When Sandra Fluke petitions Congress for easier access to birth control, and Rush Limbaugh calls her a slut, and Netflix advertises on Rush Limbaugh, so you boycott Netflix for that, that's a stupid boycott since Netflix isn't the problem.
It's quite simple. Find out what's the problem, and boycott that. If you can't follow that principle, your boycott will ultimately be much ado about nothing.
