"The Clorox Co., a former Beck advertiser, now says that "we do not want to be associated with inflammatory speech used by either liberal or conservative talk show hosts." The maker of bleach and household cleaners said in a statement that it has decided not to advertise on political talk shows."

That's a damn shame, we really need some bleach spread around on the uber liberal and uber conservatives about now  ;)

COCO still feeds off those very dated Raygun slogans.

Conan. Understand you are getting older. Adjust. Today, uber liberals are Laruchites while uber conservatives are Busheviks.

Meanwhile, does this boycott hold? Does one of your media darlings get pitched?

I don't have any media darlings, though I used to think Katie Couric was pretty hot.

Trog, I think it might be.  It even borders on "beer porn".  Just look at those sweaty bottles...   :P

FWIW, I think I saw the Pink Floyd biker in Wichita Falls this weekend.  Lots of old hippies riding bikes for 100+ miles.  My favorite jersey, I did see a jersey that was the "Some Girls" album cover.

Beck the Schmeck... Fox repeatedly says it is unaffected by the boycott because advertisers are just moving to different Fox shows. Keeping Beck on the air is a de facto corporate endorsement of Beck's smears of the president, so why shouldn't the boycott be expanded to include the entire channel, 24/7?


Ad Boycott - And Audience Share - Grow in Wake of Glenn Beck's Racist Smear of President

Jon Ponder | Sep. 3, 2009

On Wednesday, 11 more companies — including Mercedes-Benz, Capital One, HSBC and Discover — announced they were joining the boycott of Glenn Beck's show on the Fox channel.

This brings the number of companies in the ad ban to nearly 60, according to James Rucker, executive director of ColorOfChange.org, the organization behind the sponsor protest.
