AOL quits Rush, "working on" removing ads

AOL is the latest advertiser to bail on radio host Rush Limbaugh following his description of activist Sandra Fluke as as a “slut” and “prostitute”. Reuters’ Anthony De Rosa cites an AOL source as saying it’s “working on” removing Rush-linked promotions from the site.

It’s strange to think of website so vast and operationally complicated that one is literally incapable of changing what’s on it in a hurry. Perhaps the servers are ringed by moats of lava and defended by crocodiles. Don’t you just hate it when that happens?

UPDATE. Say hello to bg_hero-NoRush.jpg, who lacks Rush’s weirdly coquettish stance, but hints at a greater majesty with his purple attire and Mediterranean countenance.
