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.

This is great news. For those of you so inclined, please send thank you emails or calls to the companies who end up doing the right thing. Thank Embassy Suites, Hellman’s and Olive Garden to let them know you appreciate their decision. Thanks!

I haven’t been to Olive Garden for a while - I think I’ll be going and make sure they know the reason why.

Cool! I think I’ll celebrate by eating at Olive Garden soon. Chicken and gnocchi soup, breadsticks, etc.

YUM!

Good!! I like Olive Garden and looks like I can visit them for a meal now.

I am curious to see how many people are going to call corporate Olive Branch and thank them for pulling out of Letterman and also telling them that they will be patronizing the restaurant even more...

Yea! Darden owns Olive Garden, Red Lobster and several more. We eat at their places often. Can't remember if Darden was one I emailed, but i think so. The list of sponsors I had was confusing and often lead to "customer complaint" with blanks to fill out about last visit, etc.
