This is an e-mail message I sent to Select Comfort’s Media Relations department a little bit ago:
<<
I first learned about Sleep Number beds and mattresses through your advertisements on Rush Limbaugh’s radio program. My wife and I were planning to purchase our first Sleep Number bed and mattress sometime this year. But after learning of your recent and hasty decision to pull your sponsorship of Limbaugh’s program in the wake of the Sandra Fluke controversy, we will no longer be purchasing a bed and mattress from Sleep Number. While you are free to make any business decisions you choose, we oppose your decision to cower to left-wing pressure and “political correctness” by throwing Mr. Limbaugh under the bus. After all, he is the reason my wife and I and millions of other Americans ever learned of your company and products in the first place.

Good one, DL.
I did the same and this is what I got back.
Thank you for contacting Sleep Number. My name is Jim. I’m sorry that you feel that you cannot do business with us due to our decision to suspend our advertising with the Rush Limbaugh show. While I understand you’re upset about this situation, we’ve found that the recent comments made on this program don’t align with the values of our company. I appreciate your viewpoint and I’m happy you took the time to bring your concerns to our attention. We’ve set up a phone line for you to call regarding Rush’s comments. This line is available for you to leave your thoughts or concerns on the matter. We’ve also forwarded your comments to our Public Relations Department for further consideration.
