I’d say an concerted effort to get Mcd’s to drop their advertising - considering their target market is children - would be a good start. A couple thousand (maybe million) letters to their corporate office and perhaps they will rethink their advertising dollars on Letterman.
Thanks curth.
Everyone should be aware that several advertisers bring out the line that they are only “indirectly” supporting Letterman (placed there by CBS).
Don’t fall for the BS deflection. They should demand to be dissociated from Letterman. CBS needs to get the message from the sponsors that Letterperv is toxic.

I don’t know much about how these ads are placed...but, if you watch CBS on cable tv, isn’t it possible that the local cable company positioned the ad...making it hard for a company to know if their ad played during Letterman. This would be completely outside of a company placing an ad with CBS.
I just want to make sure the right people are getting boycotted.
Somebody get Listerine, Kelloggs & Toyota, I’ll get the rest.
the only one that may post a problem for me is DirecTV.
The cable company here is far worse.
Bump.
HBO, DirecTV, AT&T, McDonalds - all will be getting an email from me.

That thread was David Letterman Slammed for Sex Jokes About Palin's Teen Daughter.
Wonder which one is accurate - or perhaps both.

AAA national office does not have any current broadcast or cable TV ad campaigns running and none planned. Its possible the club in your area may have run a local ad, and if you’ll give me your city/state I can check that with the local club. Also want you to know that we are checking with Google Adsense to see if it’s possible to keep our text ads from appearing on CBS or Late Show websites. I don’t run the campaigns but our first step is to see if that’s possible. Just want you to know that AAA is listening.
