Excellent. To my knowledge, this is the first TV sponsor to pull its ads from the Letterman show (Embassy Suites pulled its web ads from CBS.com, which is much smaller money.) And this is a big one, too.

So let’s see:
Embassy Suites removes it’s ads from CBS’s website.
Hellman’s/BestFoods does the same.
Olive Garden now removes all ads from the Letterman show timeslot.
Congrats everyone! Keep the pressure on people. :D

Wow, pulled AFTER the apology. I’m stunned, really stunned. I thougth that this guy pissed a lot of people off, but it looks like I seriously underestimated the impact of such a comment.

Dave reminds me of an old bitter Alfred E Newman. I hope all his sponsors drop him. If he was making a “joke” about Zer0’s kids not only would he be canned but the messiah would sack the head of CBS on top of it.

I just had an immediate and overwhelming craving for the best Italian food one can find in the United States.

Letterman NEVER apologized for calling Palin a "slutty flight attendant." He also only apologized AFTER pressure came, and this was his
second attempt (and still lame). I give him no credit. He's a bully and a jerk. He needs to pay a huge price. Watch him scream "freedom of speech" soon.
Olive Garden just earned a customer for an evening dine-out.

“We apologize that Mr. Letterman’s mistake, which was not consistent with our standards and values, left you with a bad impression of Olive Garden,” wrote Sherri Bruen, the company’s guest relations manager. Glad Olive Garden dumped Letterman, but Ms. Bruen's non-apology sounds a lot like what Letterman tried first.
She should have apologized for having the bad judgment to get involved with Letterman in the first place.
