Glenn Beck is losing more and more advertisers

Why in the world would any respectable company want to associate their product with a sociopathic sack of shit like Glenn Beck? And what ad buyer at which advertising agency would be dumb enough in 2010 to tell their client they should be purchasing advertising on the Glenn Beck show?!?! Whoever sold TurboTax on the idea should be drummed out of the advertising business for good. What fucking idiocy.

Nice work over at the StopBeck blog. Note how fast it was for TurboTax to pull out:

On March 9th, TurboTax advertisements began running on Glenn Beck’s show on the Fox News Channel.  Participants in the StopBeck effort promptly sprang to action.  Less than 24 hours later, TurboTax announced that they would be pulling their advertisements from Glenn Beck’s show.

This brings the total number of advertisers to drop Glenn Beck to 120.  On a related note, the broadcast of Glenn Beck’s show in the U.K. has been running without any advertisers for over a month now.

TurboTax’s statement:

Thanks everyone for your feedback, & for reminding us of what we value. We’ve pulled advertising from the Glenn Beck show.

The man plays to emotions like no other. I hear if you give him four sentences, an overhead projector, and a set of Russian dolls he can explain the history of the human race and the roll Obama plays in it.
Beck: [Inserts a broad question about government]?
    Beck: SOCIALISTS, THAT’S WHO!
[Skuttles over to his chalkboard and draws a a pie chart showing how bad it’s getting]
Beck: [Rah Rah, holds fist, squinty eyes, oh look, he’s so genuine!] ....the way this country used to be”.

Woah, we can get the Glenn Beck show in the uk? What channel is it on? What time? I gotta see this fucked up shit…

I bet it’s fox news, isn’t it?

We can actually get fox news in the uk. For ages it was a free channel, then they started charging for it. Makes me wonder how many people sprung for a subscription, cuz now it’s free again.
