Ever since Limbaugh insulted Sandra Fluke not once, not twice, not... but over and over and over again -- consumers have been telling Limbaugh's sponsors to dump that bitch. Recently a couple more sponsors tossed Limbaugh to the curb;
Statement from Food Lion - "Thank you for contacting Food Lion. We are pleased to have the opportunity to respond."
I have researched and been advised that this was out of our control and we have told WBT to never let it happen again. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
Again, thank you for contacting Food Lion."
Statement from Bojangles - Thank you for your comment about our advertisements on The Rush Limbaugh Show. Respect for people of all genders, origins and beliefs is a core principle at Bojangles', and we would never knowingly participate in anything that could be considered offensive. When we buy radio advertising, we often do not select specific programming and have no knowledge of when our commercials will run – which was the case with ads that have run on the program in question. A number of our loyal guests have told us they were offended by some of the content on the program in recent weeks. We have looked into that content, and as a result we have taken the steps necessary to ensure our ads do not run on this program indefinitely. We hope you’ll continue to enjoy our chicken and biscuits, and we look forward to seeing you at Bojangles' again soon.
Sincerely,
The Bojangles' Team
