Carbonite, IIRC, used to sponsor Rush, then bailed out on him for saying something un-PC. I had bought their service mostly to support Rush, but cancelled it when they bailed.
It wasn’t long before they were back sponsoring because they lost so many customers. I said, “Nope.”

Uh, that phrase from Star Trek (TOS) was “Corbomite” - not Carbonite.

“Friend is not the only CEO to discuss Limbaugh’s impact on his business. The head of Cumulus Radio, which airs the show on 38 stations, said the ad boycott had hit his company “pretty hard” and cost millions of dollars.”
It was the incident where Rush called Sandra Fluke a slut.
And you’re right. Carbonite did not return as a sponsor.

I know, but that's what the headline made me think of.
Actually, I was visualizing The Tholian Web, which would have been a better image for the story.
