From ProFlowers:
“At ProFlowers, our mission is to delight our customers with fresh and long lasting flowers, and that is our singular focus each and every day. We do not base our advertising decisions to align with any particular political view or opinion as our employees and customers are as diverse as the USA. Mr. Limbaugh?s recent comments went beyond political discourse to a personal attack and do not reflect our values as a company. As such, ProFlowers has suspended advertising on The Rush Limbaugh radio program.”
I find it ironic that a company that wouldn’t exist if it not for Rush suddenly finds that his comments “do not reflect our values as a company”. I was dissatisfied with ProFlowers when they started their recent campaign to “give” you a “free” subscription to some stupid service that you had to opt out of when you ordered with a tiny checkbox. Now, they’ve lost me as a customer forever.
I got a reply from ProFlowers that said they knew I did not use the kind of language that Rush did so I should agree with them. The nerve!
Also, I do not know how to tell everyone but Intuit owns Quicken and they also own Turbo Tax. They won’t see a dime of our money this year.
“As such, ProFlowers has suspended advertising on The Rush Limbaugh radio program.”
Suspended? Does that mean that at a future time they wish to return to sponsor Rush’s show?
How quaint of them to the thought he would like or need their return.
