1. that's a good start. n/t

2. Pro Flowers?

I have not found a statement from Pro Flowers saying they have pulled their ads. Anyone?

[MelissaB]

3. I'm curious about that one as well.

Anybody have a link?

10. I got a response from proflowers:

this is their email address:

This is the response I got:

Thank you for your feedback. We spend our advertising dollars across a wide spectrum of media channels. The views and opinions of the media outlets and personalities we advertise with are not necessarily those of our company.

We simply wish to delight our customers with fresh and unique gifting products, and that will continue to happen to the best of our abilities.

4. No, ProFlowers is still sponsoring.

5. According to the liked article "ProFlowers" has not yet said they will stop

But that may not be all, as PRO FLOWERS tweeted to its followers: "Rest assured, your feedback is heard. We heard about the comments and we will reevaluate our marketing plan."

6. Here's what Pro Flowers sent to me:

7. Citracal's offices will be open Monday

and I hope they have a lot of calls waiting with more every minute of their day. That would be a big one, lots of people use that calcium supplement.

11. Citracal? oh no, I take that!

[BlueToTheBone]

12. All the more reason to call!

Maybe you could tell them you don't want to find another brand, but can't in good conscience take health supplements from a company that sponsors hatred of the their very customers. Twin Labs produces good product, too. (In case they need a competitor name.)

13. please email Citracal here:

Citracal, if I am correct, is used by women. Not a product to be sold on this woman bashing creep's show - which is partially what my email said.

8. Pro Flowers hasn't done anything yet, AFAIK.

Reevaluating isn't terminating. I use them fairly regularly and sent them a couple nasty-grams about this and the only reply I got was that they aren't responsible for what their talk radio show host says.

14. Local sponsors are apt to be far more receptive:

Check out the MOST EXCELLENT advice in this thread:

BEST thread of the day. No, of the week. Or maybe, of the YEAR if it has the effect we all pray for...

9. I don't think ProFlowers is gone

Facebook still says that they don't agree with Rush's statements...and people are still pounding them, with close to 4000 postings now, most of them negative.
