As we drove home from vacation, through Dallas, somewhat bored from many highway miles, it was the will of She that we should turn on the car radio. Maybe we can hear Limbaugh, She said. I'm sort of curious to hear what kind of horror his show is (She's not enough of a net junkie to have YouTubed any of his more egregious outbursts).
Sure enough, we found him on the dial; and sure enough, it only took about 90 seconds for him to come up with enough bizarreness to raise Her eyebrows about a foot in the air.
And then came the ad.
An ad for - - and I so totally don't understand what they're doing there - - GoToMeeting.
My brief email to GoToMeeting: ....
...says,
Dear Citrix,
It has come to my attention that GoToMeeting has purchased ad time on the Rush Limbaugh show in the Dallas, TX area.
I am not sure why a high-tech company wants to advertise on a show whose primary demographic is the cognitively challenged. However, given Limbaugh's effect on lowering the public discourse, his racism, hate speech, and lies, I am personally offended that you support his show and I am canceling my subscription.
Just kinda felt like sharing. Thanks for your brain space. Peace out.
