Home Depot Drops The Falafel Factor

Ah, the sweet smell of justice! Bill O'Reilly lives in a land of delusion surrounded by his repugnant ego. Well Bill, you are supported by your advertisers....and one of the biggest just dropped your thick head on the pavement. Home Depot agreed they do not want their ads on a television show that is full of hate, lies and your ugly mug.

From AmericaBlog:

Home Depot seems to have had a change of heart. They're now unequivocally telling their customers that they will not advertise on Bill O'Reilly's show. Oddly, however, they're now also claiming that they never advertised on O'Reilly's show.

Good morning,
Thank you very much for your message. The Home Depot has a policy that prohibits the running of its advertising on programs that express strong opinions or political views. Please note that this includes Bill O’Reilly’s program.
Thank you,
Ron

Though to complete the story, Home Depot is doing a little bit of maneuvering themselves. They claim to have never advertised on Bill O's show, even though...they have. Whoops. Why do companies that do good have to ruin it by spinning the story? Oh well, they are corporations, and definitely far from perfect.
