In the wake of controversy surrounding David Letterman’s lewd comments about Sarah palin’s daughters, CBS has lost an advertiser.
Embassy Suites, part of the Hilton Hotel chain, has pulled their advertising from CBS web properties after recieving numerous complaints from concerned customers.
A spokesperson for Embassy Suites/Hilton Hotels said:
“We received lots of e-mails from concerned guests and we assessed that the statement that he made was offensive enough to our guests and prospective guests that we elected to take the ads down.”
Embassy Suites ads did not air during Letterman’s show.

Looks like David Letterman better watch what he says from now on or it may cost him his job, since he has costed CBS money with the loss of advertising.

What is the definition of Freedom of Speech in the US? Its ok as long as the advertisers like it? I think I'll write Hilton and say unless they start advertising on CBS again, I won't sleep in their hotels or swim in their resort pools, until they show they support jokes and funny men

That's the idea Dennis! Don't tell me…let me guess. You're another democrat that needs an explanation of the Bill of Rights – hell, make it the entire Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the UCC, etc. etc. etc. We are all entitled to say what we will without GOVERNMENT interference or censorship, including contacting commercial sponsors of programs that we don't agree with. Think you can whip-up sufficient socialist wannabes to endanger Rush Limbaugh? Have at it…it's your right.
