As the Rush Limbaugh show became embroiled in
Rush Limbaugh's attacks on a female college student are scaring off advertisers. controversy Friday, Cleveland Cavalier's owner Dan Gilbert made a hasty exit, declaring his company would no longer support the talk-radio host with advertising dollars.
Gilbert announced via his Twitter account that Quicken Loans Inc. was pulling its ads from the show in protest over Limbaugh's verbal attacks on a female college student.
"Due to Rush Limbaugh's inflammatory comments along w/valuable feedback from our clients & staff, Quicken Loans has suspended ads on his show," according to a 4:09 p.m. Tweet attributed to Gilbert.

Yeah, multilevel ddd. I hurt, every moment, every day. Every year it gets harder on me. I bought my SC two years ago, spent way too much. And I hurt. I have tried everything, foam toppers, soft, hard, nothing helps.
I had a foam mattress prior to the SC, similar to a tempurpedic, not worth your money. Just me in the bed, so this is probably part of the problem, but it sunk in the middle, so I ended up holding onto the sides to keep from rolling into the middle.
Quicken Loans is maybe one step above Ameriquest, Countrywide or Green Tree. He’s better off without them.

Opens up more slots for Romney to carpet bomb his opponents without a single ad saying what he will do if elected.
Next they will be expecting the taxpayers to pay for their tampons.
But, boy, suggest that we should pay for Viagra if paying for bc pills and watch the harpies shriek. Seriously, try it sometime. They turn into Linda Blair. Completely come unglued.
He owns the CAVS and had no problem with LaBron James doing this...
the 1933 King Kong movie poster and the April 2008 Vogue cover with James and Gisele Bündchen which critics claim referenced the earlier posters.
Some sports bloggers and columnists considered the cover offensive, describing the demeanor of James and his holding Bündchen as a reference to classic imagery of the movie monster King Kong, a dark savage capturing his light-skinned love interest.
In June 2008, James donated $20,000 to a committee to elect Barack Obama. On October 29, 2008, James gathered almost 20,000 people at the Quicken Loans Arena for a viewing of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama’s 30-minute American Stories, American Solutions television advertisement. It was shown on a large screen above the stage, where Jay-Z later held a free concert.
Or this...
On July 6, 2009, James courted controversy when he ordered organizers to confiscate CBS video tape of him being dunked on by Xavier University guard Jordan Crawford at the Nike LeBron James Skills Academy.
On July 23 in an interview for his upcoming book “Shooting Stars”, James admitted to smoking marijuana at one point during his high school career to help cope with all the stress resulting from constant media attention he was receiving at the time.
Actually, many existing healthcare policies already pay for both Viagra and birth control pills. The purchasers of these policies -- employers or individuals -- are paying for them, of course.
And, when Obamacare becomes the rule in 2014, it will cover both Viagra and birth control pills...and we'll all be paying for them.
I propose we pay to have the entire OWS crowd sterilized. I’d be willing to pony up funds for that. Anyone else?

Good. We need some new commercials, I’m getting really tired of hearing the same ones over and over.
No problem for me O’Reilly Auto Parts is the best in town.
Been my go to store since they where bumper to bumper/champion back in the day.
I tried the “zone” once. If you want fuzy dice or an air freshener they are your place to shop. If you want a part that lasts a week to a month if your lucky. By all means shop there.
You want counter guys that know what they are doing? Decent parts at a fair price?

I had a good experience with Greenlight loans last year.
We now have a Simmons Comforpedic - their version of the Tempurpedic. It was about half the price, and it has a bound edge instead of it just being cut off straight, which I liked. Have had it about a year now and I'm sleeping pretty well on it.
“So good of these slut-loving CEOs to give us a list of products to boycott.”
These people are the people Rush needs in his life. They have an impact on him. They’ve kept him from being a major player in areas he loves. You think Rush wants to smoke cigars and play golf with you? You think he wants to sit in your owner’s box at an NFL game? Snicker. They forced him off of ESPN. They kept him from buying into a football franchise. They’ve put him in his place repeatedly. He even lost Florida Orange Juice once upon a time. Orange juice! Losing sponsors will hurt him. Rush made a horrible mistake this time after he had already made his point. We got it already. He shouldn’t have suggested the stupid, foolish-plant-to-change-the-focus-of-conservatives was a slut. Immediately I heard people locally suggesting that Conservatives like Rush and Newt were sluts themselves because of their history. Rush’s drug addictions now become front and center again. He shouldn’t have called her or suggested she was a slut. He was right on point. That used to be enough for him. They sucked the king in.
“I guess Rush’s show was offensive to female auto mechanics. Auto-erotizone can now try airhead america for their ads.”
Laura S. Brown’s essay, “Dangerousness, Impotence, Silence, and Invisibility: Heterosexism in the Construction of Women’s Sexuality,” describes lesbian relationships as “a way of expressing female strength and the ability and willingness to sexually and emotionally nurture another woman”
Where is the bc problem with Fluke?

Quicken Loans is a scam outfit anyways....
We too had a sleep number. also hated it. We sold it the day after we bought it (got it from someone who said “they didn’t need it”. I suspect they hated it too)
It was a queen. All the foam around the actual bladder made it IMPOSSIBLE to sleep on. My wife likes a soft bed, I like a firm one.
Every morning we had that bed I’d find myself on my wife’s side because once I got to close to the middle it would suck me in (her side was lower/softer)
We now have a Simmons his and hers (I think that is the model) her side is soft, mine is firm. It’s still a bit of a problem if I get to close to her side as the soft side will suck me in, but my side is much larger considering there is no air bag or 12 inches of foam around it.
We both love it.
