Ok, so I watched Beck so you don't have to. Current Ads:
I was only curious as to who was still advertising with him, but like a train wreck, I couldn’t look away. It was like Miss Marsha looking into the mirror. He really does talk to people like they are 5 years old. And the props. Jeez louise.

So anyway, here is the list if anyone cares. I didn’t include the internal promotions for Fox shows.

Goldline.com
Mortgage relief 877.414.2244 (they never state who they are)
Uani.com - this ran twice
Blue Cross
Lifelock.com
Roslandcapital.com (G Gordon Liddy hawking gold)- this ran twice
Brother printers/fax machines
American Electric Power (coal plants)- this ran twice
Defeatthedebt.com (libertarian tea baggers)
Accu-check medical devices - this ran twice
National Review
Wall Street Journal
La-Z-Boy

Goldbugs, Mortgage and Credit scams, Insurance/medical companies, Coal plants, Libertarians and Conservative rags, and some group that wants to bomb Iran. Meh.

Brother and La-Z-Boy are more of a concern, IMO.


Ps -- apparently, Michael Moore is going to be on Hannity tonight.

1. If the WSJ advertises on Faux, is that taking out of one pocket and putting it in another? nt

2. What the hell is Moore doing there?
Pointless Mike...I know he handles them somewhat gracefully but pointless.

6. Thank you for your sacrifice.
I would throw something, I can't take another minute of rightwing nutbags.
I would just have to pay to fix the last tv in the house or the wall where we shoot the projected pic on..when it works.

8. It was actually kinda funny
Especially when you think of the people who take him seriously. The props were SOOOOOO over the top. He was taping pictures to his blackboard.

:rofl:

11. The goldbug pushers were heavy on the FEAR TERRA angle
As was the anti-Iran group. It was beyond belief. I kept waiting for Rudy Guiliani to appear.

13. What, no NRA or Guns&Ammo?

Laz-E-Boy, I can understand. Tea baggers are the Laz-E-Boy demographic.

Brilliant marketing on their part.

15. I don't plan to follow it. I was just curious today given the latest international
boycott of advertising on the show that color of change announced today.

Also, I didn't include obviously local ads (Credit unions, Comcast, etc...) so Target may have been shown in another market.

26. And NBC/Unviersal is to be sold to Comcast
That was last night or night before on NBC eve news with Brain Williams.
Comcast will own 51% .....He did not say if that was going to be MSNBC included in the deal..if so I guess RM and KO will be looking for work.
I had comcast as a cable provider, went round and round with them over billing me for pay per view(I did not even have the correct box to order ppv! and they were charging me for movies I had not ordered) I finally just said cut the cord and quit watching anything, but the 3 or 4 local channels I could get with rabbit ears..was not very clear so I found more productive things to do.

Do you keep Ipecac handy, just in case?

23. I have never seen a full show, only clips.
He had one guest for about 5-10 minutes, and the rest of the show was just him talking and playing with his props. It was rather bizarre. I thought it was supposed to be more like Hardball or something. Nope. Just good old Glenn talking to the camera.

:freak:

What a drag. Time to find somewhere else to get furniture, if and when that happens.

20. Perhaps a note and/or call to Brother would be appropriate.
I am hoping they are unaware that their advertising is being placed in the vicinity of a very dangerous idiot. Once they hear from a lot of customers, I am hoping, they will pull their ads.

25. In a segue from breathless ranting about Obama and white coats (the Drs yesterday)
He said that people would also take him more seriously if he had a "special coat". He then put on a tweed jacket with elbow patches, stacked a bunch of books on a table, put a fake pipe in his mouth and talked like an English butler.

I kid you not.

I have no idea what he said though. My mind was reeling just trying to process the crazy. :rofl:

22. It's getting kind of thin.

Eventually no sponsors will be left but Sham-Wow and Popiel's Pocket Fisherman.
