Dear [TTG],

Thank you for contacting Men’s Wearhouse and bringing to our attention your concerns with the Glenn Beck program on Fox News. While we support free speech and do not make advertising decisions based on our own personal ideologies, after reviewing his recent incendiary comments we have decided to remove our advertising from his program. We hope that this decision will allow you to continue to patronize Men’s Wearhouse. I would encourage you to please share our decision with anyone else who may have expressed a similar concern.

Thank you again for contact Men’s Wearhouse.

Sincerely,

Matt Stringer

P.S. Also note the Sargento Cheese and GEICO disapparances...

Update: Top rec'd??? Must be a slow news night. :) Thanks. Could the person who generated(s) the list of Beck advertisers post a diary about who's up next?

I sent:

I've been a fan of Men's Wearhouse for a while, buying all my dress pants and suits at your stores -- partly because of your stock of tall sizes, partly because of your knowledgeable and active sales staff, and partly because of your presence around the country (I travel a great deal for work.) Sadly, that relationship may now have to end -- you have started to advertise on one of the most hurtful, inflammatory, and thought-free shows on television, and I cannot support any company who gives Glenn Beck of Fox "News" even one advertising dollar. Please tell me this was an aberration and will be corrected. Thank you.

P.P.S. This is fun! Join us! :D
