Here is the new ad for The Rush Limbaugh Show.
Pulling lies out of your butt since Wed May 19, 2010. (isn't my cat and husky cute?)
OK I'll bite, what's the significance of that date? Or is it gang code?
Oh... thanks!
Looks like I upset LGOPT. That's a first... Not sure what lies I pulled, though. I actually heard the guy on a radio show saying they hope to run that ad on the Limbaugh show. He is a publicity hound, though.

Run that commercial on Rush. You must be kidding. IT'S A VIDEO. How can we watch it. And I listened to the audio, and that audio would not "play" on the air. Don't try to pull that crap on me. I am in the business. That's not a radio ad. What guy, on what radio. In the most someone was pulling someones leg and you fell for it.

This is big. According to the radio-industry website Radio-Info.com, which first posted excerpts of the Premiere memo, among the 98 companies that have decided to no longer sponsor these programs are “carmakers (Ford, GM, Toyota), insurance companies (Allstate, Geico, Prudential, State Farm), and restaurants (McDonald’s, Subway).” Together, these talk-radio advertising staples represent millions of dollars in revenue.
But this latest controversy comes at a particularly difficult time for right-wing talk radio. They are playing to a (sometimes literally) dying demographic. Rush & Co. rate best among old, white males. They have been steadily losing women and young listeners, who are alienated by the angry, negative, obsessive approach to political conservations. Add to that the fact that women ages 24–55 are the prize advertising demographic, and you have a perfect storm emerging after Limbaugh’s Sandra Fluke comments.
The irony is that the same market forces that right-wing talk-radio hosts champion are helping to seal their fate. Advertisers are abandoning the shows because they no longer want to be associated with the hyperpartisan—and occasionally hateful—rhetoric. They are finally drawing a line because consumers are starting to take a stand.
An additional irony: just as the technology-driven fragmentation of the landscape allowed partisan media to proliferate, a new technological development is providing the tools to take it down. Social media is making it possible to create a grassroots movement very quickly, voicing grievances very quickly and getting heard at the top of corporate headquarters.
