“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.

If you want good conduct, reward it & quit complaining. Take your family to Olive garden.

I don't think that's fair. Corporations buy ad time way in advance and really have no control whatsoever over content. They just buy eyeballs for their ads-- that's all.

Olive Garden did the right thing under pressure and that's fine with me.

I don’t think she needed to even try to apologize. They buy advertising on shows they think will draw an audience. They have now stopped advertising on Letterman because they think it’s bad PR.

I don’t understand why Sherri Bruen tried to apologize, what did Olive Garden do wrong?
