Got one back from Mars.

In response to your email regarding MARS SNACKFOOD US. We are writing in response to your recent communication which objects to the placement of advertising on David Letterman. We appreciate your concern and thank you for taking the time to contact us. While we do not “sponsor” television shows, we do contract for commercial time months in advance for those programs which we feel effectively reach our consumers. As a matter of policy we make every effort to avoid programs containing exploitative examples of ethnic, racial, religious or sexual stereotyping. We apologize if we were unsuccessful in this instance, and we will share your comments with our advertising agencies. Our loyal consumers are very important to us, and we thank you for taking the time to bring this to our attention. Have a great day! Your Friends at Mars Snackfood US MM/HERNLIND010961364A Please do NOT reply to this email.

I got the same response from Mars. Looks like I’ll keep my promise and not purchase anything made by Mars anymore.

I received the exact same reply from Mars, and two replies from Life Lock, and waiting for Hilton, Hellman’s and Kelloggs replies, and go to tv.com to comment at CBS on the Letterman response to Palin, it is taking comments directly...load it up with complaints.

The interactive link is at top of page titled Letterman vs Palin, so click and go below article for comment section.
