RUSH Fiasco "Sending Chill Up The Spine Of Radio Advertisers & Programmers"

[gratuitous]

13. Yeah, the plan has always been lie low, let the heat die down, then jump back in

This time it's going to be different.

I like, though, how the advertisers jump to precisely the wrong conclusion: "No controversial programming." No, it's not "controversial" in the sense that there's some animated discussion. That vile human being has conducted a week-long jihad against American women for no other reason than his own misogyny. I'm fine with controversy. I'm not so fine with relentless, mindless bigotry and chauvinism, and here's a surprise for you advertisers, neither are about 90% of people. You want to advertise to a lizard-brained 10% of the population that would need to be dragged kicking and screaming into a 17th Century mentality? Be my guest, and advertise all you want on that vile human being's daily show. But if your business plan is intended to sell a product to the other 90% of the population, you might want to reconsider your ad-buying decisions.
