RUSH said that a couple of advertisers are begging him to come back.
That’s the same canned message I got for my contact; but I was less-diplomatic and told them to shove the flowers up their politically-correct/hypocritical asses.....
I can’t stand Proflowers. I made the mistake of buying something from them -— what came was not remotely as advertised and there were all sorts of hidden fees.
To top it off, I am constantly spammed by them and related companies (”proplants”) — everything, despite REPEATEDLY following their procedure to get off the spam list.
That’s the industry standard reply for ALL complaints.
What would you expect them to do? Personally answer your issues?

You just got a form response. That e-mail was pre-written and sent to you by their computer.
Not sure if anyone of significance have read you letter.
Rush said today there are 2 sponsors that have asked to come back. Said he needed to be careful...did say yet the outcome.
” Your feedback has been noted and will be shared with our team. “
Customer ‘Service’ boilerplate which means “Your email has been deleted...”
If you have ever submitted your resume online to apply for a job and received a form letter telling you they’ve received your application and will consider it, and then NEVER, EVER hear back from them again...
Well, that’s what happened to your e-mail with Pro-Flowers.
got it too...rush was elated in the opening today...slammed their smear campaign to the floor.
Call them.
Yesterday when I called. She didn’t ask me why I was not using her company any longer. I said, “You failed to ask why I will no longer use your service. It is because your company has chosen to withdraw advertising from the Rush Limbuagh show.” She responded, “Yes, I thought that was the reason.”
Even in this economy, I hope that go out of business. Sorry for the hate. I’m allowed because I’m a sinful human and I don’t really mean it, I’m just still mad at what they are doing to Rush.
Netflix has not and does not purchase advertising on the Rush Limbaugh show. We do buy network radio advertising and have confirmed that two Netflix spots were picked up in error as part of local news breaks during the Rush Limbaugh show. We have instructed our advertising agency to make sure that this error will not happen again.
Unlike the times I've told WaPo or NYT to bite me... ProFlowers is actually losing money on me as I have spent considerable amounts of money on them in the past and will do so no longer.
I got the same canned response from them, along with ProPlants and Sherri’s Berries. I simply told them that since they dropped Rush, I was dropping them. I wished them luck with the liberal boycott from folks who never buy anything but have lots of time to complain and whine.

LOL. Their way of saying: “So long sucka. Now where is that delete button?”
Gee, I got this on Sunday
Sounds like they’ve toned it down!

I shot them back an e-mail saying that was BS because they continue to advertise on shows with liberal hosts that have attacked conservative women in the same manner and that was all I needed to know about their company.
Here is a more truthful response that you should have got back:
"Dear Dumba$$. We wish you wouldn't waste your time and tie up our auto-response software by bothering us with your opinions. We are libtards throughout our organization ... after all, how many pansies do you think we employ to cut, arrange and wrap pansies. We advertise on Rush because a lot of people listen to the ads on his show, and are dumb enough to believe that his advertisers must be trustworthy because he is. Boy is that a crock! We only dropped Rush because of our desire for lots free publicity. We will be back as soon as this tempest in a teapot blows over. Meanwhile, we will enjoy the support of loyal leftists everywhere. We are counting on mindless conservative cretins such you having a short attention span and nonexistent memory. So hurry up and forget our actions. Until then, please rest assured that your feedback has been noted and will be laughed at by our team."
