This review is from: Rose Elegance Premium Long Stem Red Roses - One Dozen Red Roses


"Hi, Honey, here are some flowers that are advertised on a misogynist's radio program", March 5, 2012

While as of today Pro Flowers says they have "Suspended" their support of Rush Limbaugh's radio show, that is not sufficient to demonstrate their concern for women. Huge difference between suspending and ending.
I would rather have a bouquet of dandelions from the front yard than spend 2 cents to support a company which supports Limbaugh.

The CEO brought this shitstorm down on them BootinUp Mar 2012 #1
They fugged with the wrong people - those are great malaise Mar 2012 #2
I don't particularly think they realize the shitstorm Aerows Mar 2012 #35
I'm thinking of this now.... TheMightyFavog Mar 2012 #68
The problem is that all the reviews are on one product. If they remove that bouquet all the reviews Walk away Mar 2012 #39

Well, they just suspended their advertising with Limpballs NightOwwl Mar 2012 #9
I think they should have terminated their advertising with Rush TNLib Mar 2012 #11
