eHarmony, this is the best you can do? A guy who has failed miserably in every relationship he has had? A guy who has zero empathy? A guy who kicks people when they're down?
Really?
Oreck, you have built a strong brand over decades. You're going to sully that reputation by associating with a dirtbag? A guy who spreads garbage like a pig in slop?
Really?
OnStar, your whole business is built on helping people in distress. You think you will reach your goal relying on a guy who mocks the idea of sending aid to a country hammered by an earthquake?
Really?
If there ever was a time to let these companies know they can't hide in the shadows, this is it.

These companies and others like Autozone, Dominos and Pfizer will try to claim they bought run of the day advertising, not specific slots on Limbaugh's show, but that is nonsense. If they aren't bothered by the fact their products are now associated with this miscreant, that's their decision. But we shouldn't be buying their garbage as long as they associate with him. If anyone has company info they want to add, feel free to post in the comments.
Update: eHarmony has replied to other emails by saying:
"Thanks very much for writing to us about your concern. We’ve seen that incorrect information circulating online, as well. eHarmony actually does not buy advertising on Rush Limbaugh’s show, nor do we have any sort of affiliation with him. "
Regards,

However, this response leaves some room for ambiquity. Specifically, it does not address the possibility that eHarmony buys what is called "Run of Schedule" advertising from either Clear Channel Communications or Premier Radio Networks. The reason this is relevant is that those are the corporate entities that, in fact, broadcast his shows. The EIB network he touts is a mythical entity. Thus, it is possible for the statement issued to be technically true, yet misleading. To address the matter, I have contacted eHarmony and specifically asked if they can state categorically they do not have a package with either of the two networks mentioned that would result in their ads showing up during Limbaugh's commercial breaks. If they reply in the affirmative, then I will remove their name from this posting.
