Olive Garden pulls Letterboy ads 'cause he sucks
 
OK, I'm paraphrasing. But it's true:


Olive Garden pulls Letterman ads

By ANDY BARR | 6/18/09 4:21 PM EDT

Following a week of back and forth between CBS late-night comic David Letterman and Sarah Palin over a crude joke he told about the Alaska Republican governor’s daughter, the Olive Garden restaurant says it is canceling all of its scheduled ads on Letterman’s “Late Show” for the rest of the year.

In an e-mail to a Letterman critic obtained by POLITICO, a spokeswoman for the Italian restaurant chain wrote that “there will be no more Olive Garden ads scheduled for ‘The Late Show’ with David Letterman in this year's broadcast schedule,” citing the talk show host’s “inappropriate comments.”

“We apologize that Mr. Letterman’s mistake, which was not consistent with our standards and values, left you with a bad impression of Olive Garden,” wrote Sherri Bruen, the company’s guest relations manager.

I love it. I hope he has to move out of Connecticut and back to the backwoods of Indiana. He can re-grow his beard and return to wearing plaid shirts all day. Dingleberry. He and Paul Shaffer can smoke bongs all day and tell their stale jokes to each other. Much better than fiery netherlands.

Olive Garden disputes report that ads were pulled from Letterman
By Jimmy Orr | 06.18.09


A spokesman for the Olive Garden disputed a report from Politico that the restaurant chain pulled its advertising from the David Letterman show due to jokes about Sarah Palin’s daughter.

“Information reported today by Andy Barr of Politico regarding Olive Garden’s advertising on the Late Show with David Letterman was erroneous. No authorized spokesperson for the company confirmed the information in his report,” said Olive Garden spokesman Rich Jeffers in an email to The Vote.

“The Olive Garden media schedule is planned months in advance. The schedule for the Late Show with David Letterman was completed earlier this month. We take all guest concerns seriously. And, as always, we will factor those concerns in as we plan our advertising schedule in the future,” he continued.

Jeffers has not yet responded to an email asking if Olive Garden advertisements will continue on the David Letterman show.
I wonder who's telling the truth?

.

When it rains it pours. Where's Al Sharpton. He ought to call Letterboy onto his radio show and make him grovel the way he did to Imus.

Letterboy sniffs bicycle seats.

I thought OG meant you're so old you went to Olive Garden Franchise #1 and are therefore an Original Gardener

it can also refer to the term of having too much of the Garden, and being sent to the hospital.
The OG...or 'Over-Garden' happens, during free salad and breadsticks usually.
