Poor Proflowers, they just can't win.

Freepers are all talking about how pissed they are at Proflowers for bailing on Rush, and how they'll never use them again.

about how they got wilted Roses on Valentines Day.

Makes me think of a new slogan for Proflowers. "Buy flowers from a sponsor of Rush and stems will be limp"

They mixed business with politics (or religion). Never a good idea.

They tried to wait for it to blow over, but my father always told me a good business doesn't mix with politics or religion.

Proflowers and the rest of Rush's sponsors stepped in an ant hill of their own making because they wanted to support right wingers.

and every single one stopped using the service, they would still be better off just picking up .25% of the US population as customers.

However, I'm willing to bet 95% of the shittoheads crying they'll no longer use Proflowers never have in the first place.

They didn't care. They said they support "a wide range of viewpoints," to which I responded, never again. I don't support hate radio.
