Papa Johns Pulls Ads from Wonkette After Revolting Post About Trig Palin
Newsrealblog ^ | Wednesday April 20, 2011

Posted on 04/20/2011 1:45:59 PM PDT by Bigtigermike

This is what needs to be done and thanks to sites like Twitter and to citizen journalism, it can happen. Papa Johns was alerted to the beyond odious post on Wonkette and, as a result, they say they are taking steps to ensure their ads no longer appear on the sewer slime trash site.

@robertcurlin Thank you for alerting us to this. We’ve taken steps to make sure our advertising doesn’t appear on that site in the future. about 3 hours ago via HootSuite in reply to robertcurlin

If you choose to be disgusting and vile in order to garner the attention you so desperately crave, don’t be surprised when that attention backfires when those with common decency are outraged and call you out on it. And when advertisers use their right to pull their ads from sites that publish absolute filth. Well done, Papa Johns.

"Never had a papa john’s pizza..."

As chain-pizza places go, they're pretty good. I much prefer them to Domino's or Godfather's (Sorry Herman Cain).

I’ll be sure to order the team lunch from Papa Johns this week. Seems corporate stewardship in this country is lacking and Papa Johns stepped up.

These adds were pulled because conservatives and tea party members pushed back against advertisers on Twitter.

Make your voice heard there...

I think the best bet is targeting Coca Cola. After all, children must be a huge part of their consumers. Bravo to Huggies and Papa John’s.
