Sad that it took this long, but it does warm my heart to see this finally happening.

My big hope is that the public finally registers the fact that they do have a say. Not whining, but by using their power as a consumer. These folks only care about money. Dissenting voices mean nothing to them. I think they actually live for those voices. It boosts their egos. BUT, when consumers let it be known that they not only vocally disapprove, but disapprove by using their buying power, corporate America listens. I guarantee you not one of these sponsors would be fleeing his show if it was not hurting (or threatening to hurt) their bottom line. They haven't bailed before when outrageous things were said (think other personal attacks or Michael J. Fox, etc.).

'Think globally, act locally' was never more true.
