Nothing tells your sweet baby "I love you" than buying flowers from promoters of misogyny and hate speech.
ProFlowers Rush Limbaugh Promo Codes
Let's get 'em -- civilly and legally, of course. Follow me below the Kiss My Ass Rush squiggle.
Recently I emailed ProFlowers' customer service rep Shannon (no last name given) with the following:
Shannon, thanks for getting back with me. You say you "do not endorse" Limbaugh's attacks on women, but you say nothing about what Pro Flowers intends to do about its advertising relationship with Limbaugh and EIB except to continue "managing your relationships with your advertisers." That's nowhere near enough. Until Pro Flowers publicly severs its ties with EIB and pulls its advertising, I will have no further business transactions with your firm whatsoever. You may also be aware that a firestorm of criticism has erupted around Limbaugh's continuing attacks on women, much of it in various social media. I am heavily involved in that, and intend to ensure that people know just where Pro Flowers stands, or doesn't stand, on Limbaugh's attacks on women.
A number of sponsors have pulled their ads, from SelectComfort and Quicken Loans to the Cleveland Cavaliers. You may consider getting out as far ahead of the impending tsunami as you can, before your brand name is irrevocably linked with a radio commentator who hates and loathes women. Not the link I'd want for a flower vendor. But you decide. As for me, I've already decided. I bought my wife flowers today, and I definitely did not buy them from your company. I also informed the flower merchant of your firm's position, and he was angry enough to say he would consider severing his relationship with your firm. His last words on the subject: "It'll take me two minutes and a dollop of Goo Be Gone to get that Pro Flowers sticker off my window."
Good luck in the coming days.
Shannon ain't paying attention.

Edit: You guys do realize what bullshit it will be if we let this flag because of Limbaugh's garbage apology.
