Netflix Statement (pulling ads) [View all]

From ReadWrite Web:
http://www.readwriteweb.com/enterprise/2012/03/netflix-no-we-dont-advertise-w.php

Netflix's vice president of corporate communications, Steve Swasey, shot me a statement from the company less than an hour after I touched base with the company:

Netflix has not and does not purchase advertising on the Rush Limbaugh show. We do buy network radio advertising and have confirmed that two Netflix spots were picked up in error around the Rush Limbaugh show. We have instructed our advertising agency to make sure that this error will not happen again.
