Default This is funny...

This week over 50 companies and organizations pulled their
advertisements from Rush Limbaugh's radio program.

Yesterday, the results could be heard in the form of beautiful, long
silences during the commercial breaks in the online streaming of
Limbaugh's show on WABC, the flagship station for his broadcasts. Here
are the amazing stats:

A total of 86 ads aired during WABC's online streaming broadcast of
The Rush Limbaugh Show yesterday;
77 of those ads were public service announcements donated free of
charge by the Ad Council;
Of the nine paid spots that ran, seven were from companies that
have said they have taken steps to ensure their ads no longer air during
the program;
WABC's online feed included about 5:33 of dead air when ads would
normally have run.

Thank you,
