[edit] Sandra Bernhard
I did a partial restore of Sandra Bernhard's comments. I left out her exact comment, but it is still noted that she was in a controversial ad, one that was later pulled. Interested readers at least now know to click on Sandra Bernhard if they want to read more. Also, these aren't really Sandra Bernhard's personal comments, as she was paid for them by MAC. Moreover, after hearing Bernhard's monologue, MAC still decided to run the commercial. I would argue that this issue is very relevant to MAC, perhaps even moreso than to Sandra Bernhard, as this type of language has become typical of Sandra Bernhard, while MAC quickly retracted this commercial under pressure. I consider this a compromise, as it mentions the controversy, with a link to Bernhard, but leaves out the quote and the sources (though I'm not sure that this issue deserves any less attention in the MAC article than Bernhard's). If this version is not acceptable, perhaps a controversy section for this article would be more appropriate? Thanks. Ufwuct 14:55, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] External Link "War"
Why are junk links with no relevance to MAC cosmetics being added (random makeup blogs & forums) (who BTW are only looking for advertising and exposure via this resouce), while revelant links that adhere to wiki guidelines are arbitrarily removed? Can someone please step in and clean up the external links? I have added the definitive archive of color story information released by MAC cosmetics, which legitimately should be linked from this page as adding the content from 10 years of color stories to the wiki would be time consuming and tedious. It has been removed each time, though it's relvance is supremely suited to this entry and it follows external link guidelines. (Strydor 04:42, 8 January 2007 (UTC))
[edit] Reply to the "External Link War"
The "junk links" you refer to contain information concerning an international boycott of the cosmetic brand and are relevent. I agree that removing YOUR links is disrespectful and should not happen. The fact remains that there are other facts that pertain to this company (which you might not agree with or even like) yet belong on a page that describes the company in all facets (good and bad).Dklas 11:21, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Reply to the "External Link War"
Those are not the "junk links" I am referring to, I have never edited out any of the boycott links. I personally support MUA's who are participating in the boycott, MAC/EL definetly have some underhanded activities going on. You can check the "junk links" I have edited by referring to the pages change log. (Strydor 21:14, 14 January 2007 (UTC))
[edit] OK ...IP# 88.72.230.200 all this messing with the external links is getting tired.
You might not like where the links lead but it gives you no right to remove them. All the links offer varied opinions and references to Mac Cosmetics and definitely belong on this page. So let's knock off the childish behavior and leave the external link information alone and let people decide what information they want..on their own.
