2. oh the horror of having to abandon Olive Garden!

where am I going to take my gals on dates now? I'm scared of authentic Italian restaurants that use fresh pasta. also, what's this wine that doesn't come in a box?

3. I haven't eaten at that shit hole in 20 years.

Once was enough. Frozen food thawed by a snot-nose teenager is not Italian!

4. Im with you.

5. I could actually go for some REAL Italian food this weekend.

6. Why eat at a plastic franchise place anyway?

Support local independent restaurants. They need your help, not Darden Restaruants, Inc. The food is better, sometimes cheaper, and the atmosphere is genuine, not plastic.

Olive Garden disputes report that ads were pulled from Letterman
By Jimmy Orr | 06.18.09

A spokesman for the Olive Garden disputed a report from Politicothat the restaurant chain pulled its advertising from the David Letterman show due to jokes about Sarah Palin’s daughter.

“Information reported today by Andy Barr of Politico regarding Olive Garden’s advertising on the Late Show with David Letterman was erroneous. No authorized spokesperson for the company confirmed the information in his report,” said Olive Garden spokesman Rich Jeffers in an email to The Vote.

“The Olive Garden media schedule is planned months in advance. The schedule for the Late Show with David Letterman was completed earlier this month. We take all guest concerns seriously. And, as always, we will factor those concerns in as we plan our advertising schedule in the future,” he continued.

Jeffers has not yet responded to an email asking if Olive Garden advertisements will continue on the David Letterman show.

10. Regardless of whether any ads were pulled because of the Palin joke, I still don't plan on eating

at Olive Garden or Red Lobster anytime soon.

It's not like I was a big customer before anyway. I ate at both those restaurants a combined 6 times in the past 20 years.

However, I have increased my viewing of Dave.

So the winner in all of this is......

The tasteless comedian!
