complaining to eharmony

honestly, i don't have a big beef with eharmony.com.

i didn't really care where they advertised... until today.

eharmony has been supporting rush limbaugh's program, and even that didn't tick me off... until today.

rush limbaugh recently went on air supporting the Lords Resistance Army (LRA), an armed gang that routinely kidnaps children and forces them into prostitution and into being child soldiers.

and eharmony wants to advertise on this guy's show? what!?

again, i have no beef with eharmony. they probably weren't thinking about how extreme limbaugh can be and were only thinking of his marketing demographic.

that's fine.

but do you really want your brand associated with a guy who's advocating for rapists & kidnappers?

anyway... i gave them a call and sent them an email, if you feel the same way i do, maybe you can do the same.

please keep it professional, though. the eharmony guys need to know that limbaugh is the uncivilized one, not the people disappointed with his behavior.

feel free to use this as a template if you want to drop them a line @ publicrelations@eharmony.com or give them a call @ +1 626 795 4814.

-cheers!

dear sirs,

i recently learned your firm is advertising on the rush limbaugh show.

normally i would support your effort to communicate your message as broadly as possible.

but mr. limbaugh's recently comments in support of the lords resistance army (LRA) are incompatible with civil society. while i do support mr. limbaugh's right to make whatever comments he chooses, i am disappointed he has used it to support an organization that kidnaps children forcing them to become child soldiers or prostitutes.

by advertising on mr. limbaugh's show, you are associating your brand with an individual who appears to be advocating for the elimination of basic civil behavior.

i urge you to reconsider your affiliation with mr. limbaugh. however, until you cease advertising on his program, i am boycotting your service and asking my network of friends and co-workers to do the same.

-sincerely,
