Furious retailer pulls all adverts from Rush Limbaugh's show after radio host suggests 'slut' student should make a SEX TAPE



2nd March 2012

A Rush Limbaugh advertiser today revealed it will pull all adverts from his radio show after the host caused widespread outrage by branding a student a ‘slut’ for her views on contraception.

The 61-year-old made fun of her for saying religious institutions should cover birth control in health insurance - and said in a further show that she should have to make sex tapes if this ever happens.

Now mattress retailer Sleep Train, based in Rocklin, California, has bowed to pressure on Twitter and said it will no longer advertise on the show. Other advertisers are being called to do the same.

"We don't condone negative comments directed toward any group,’ a Sleep Train spokesman tweeted. ‘Thanks to all of you for your concern and input.’

1. Is there an online petition for his advertisers?

I'd be delighted to sign it and send it on to all my friends and family members as well. Let's kick that hog where it hurts--in his wallet.

2. Yea, but Rush has been degrading "groups" and women for his entire career.

It is what he does. Why did they come on board in the first place?
