Hello, Thank you for contacting us regarding your disappointment with the program content which contained a commercial for a Unilever product. We never wish to offend anyone and your opinions are appreciated regarding this subject matter. Advertising for Hellmann's or media buys are done months in advance and unfortunately we can’t foresee issues in the media before they come up. We appreciate the feedback from our consumers and we’ve decided to pull our online ads from the Letterman show from our advertising schedule moving forward.

We hope that this information has given you a better understanding of our advertising practices. Thank you again for taking the time to share your views with us. You can be assured that your comments will be considered as we continue to challenge our perceptions about what is appropriate for us in today's environment.

Kind regards, Your friends at Hellmann's/Best Foods

I can’t eat Mayo, but I am going to get a jar of Hellman’s next time OI go to the store.

Funny how we can organize and put real pressure to bear on the media over a tasteless and crude joke, but we cannot seem to do much about the media’s cover up of the fraudulent anti-American anti-Semitic occupant of the oval office.

By no means do I offer excuses for Letterman... he gets what he deserves... but it was a JOKE!... the media is selling us out to our enemies, and we just continue to pay the bills for the filth that enters our living rooms that REALLY DOES affect our lives and our future.

I love Hellman’s mayo but I sent them an email yesterday telling them I was switching to Kraft if they continued sponsoring Letterman. I haven’t received a reply yet but I’m delighted they pulled their advertising. I would have hated to switch.

Wow! That’s a relief. Their mayo is tops. Sold as Best Foods out on the left coast.

Buy some and then make this:
QUICK AND CRUNCHY PORK CHOPS (Mmmm pork....)
2 boneless pork chops - 1 inch thick
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon sugar
6 Tablespoons mayo

Pre heat oven to 425.
Salt and pepper pork chops.
Mix bread crumbs, garlic powder, paprika, thyme, and sugar with 2 Tablespoons mayo.
Slather pork chops with 4 Tablespoons mayo.
Press crumb mixture onto pork chops.
Bake on wire rack for 18-22 minutes (140 degrees internal temp)
Let rest 5-10 minutes. Serve.
So good, I almost bite my tongue every time I make it.

Hellmann’s rules!

They know they don’t need dirty old men to get people to buy their product.

Getting it tomorrow and as long as they stay away from perverted shows.
Now let’s talk about The Family Guy.....that’s just a sick show. Just joking....or am I?

THAT’s the reason why letterman apologized on the air.
