Note: For the full list and updates about the number of advertisers that have cancelled their relationship with the show, please visit ThinkProgress.org or their Pinterest page. To make this into a fun game, pick out which are real and which are less slightly-less-than real. A couple might surprise you.

Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover

Advil products

Sears

“Sears Holdings has taken actions to ensure our ads do not run on this show.  We appreciate our customers, fans and followers and thank you for your business.”

Outback Steakhouse

All forms of weather

ProFlowers

“Mr. Limbaugh’s recent comments went beyond political discourse to a personal attack and do not reflect our values as a company.  As such, ProFlowers has suspended advertising on The Rush Limbaugh radio program.”

The entire cast of every single Harry Potter movie

Hallmark and Lifetime

Carbonite

“No one with daughters the age of Sandra Fluke, and I have two, could possibly abide the insult and abuse heaped upon this courageous and well-intentioned young lady. Mr. Limbaugh, with his highly personal attacks on Miss Fluke, overstepped any reasonable bounds of decency.  Even though Mr. Limbaugh has now issued an apology, we have nonetheless decided to withdraw our advertising from his show.”

Rite Aid

Wal-Mart, Lowe’s, Home Depot, Walgreen’s and Staples

The continent of Asia

“We always hated you.”

The Twelfth Imam

Office Max

Aliens

“The honeymoon is over.  Not even E.T. wants to probe you anymore.”

Midas and Napa Auto Parts

Turbo Tax

“We have asked our media buying firm to correct the error by discontinuing any advertising on the Rush Limbaugh Show moving forward in keeping with our original advertising plans and strategies.”

Samuel Adams

Allstate and Progressive Insurance

My dead great-grandmother

[Could not technically be reached for comment but definitely would not have liked this.]

Rush Limbaugh’s ability to have sex with any other woman other than his wife

The United Hobbit Council of Middle-Earth

The font Comic Sans

“Even I’m less ridiculous than you are.”

The Tyson Chicken people

Space

“You don’t believe in me, anyway, so I feel that this break up will be amicable.”

Rush Limbaugh’s future hemorrhoids

“Whyyy?”

Hotels.com

H&R Block

Bigfoot, the Lochness Monster and the Yeti race

“Because we all dislike you so much, we have decided to admit we exist and speak out against your comments.  Are you happy now, Rush?”

John Deere

NBC

Goodwill

“The Goodwill public service announcement that aired on WMAL or other stations affiliated with the Rush Limbaugh show aired without Goodwill’s knowledge or consent.  No further Goodwill public service announcements will be aired without our permission.”

All four Golden Girls

DeVry University

Drag queen “Lush Rimbaugh”

“Thanks for trying to give me new material to work with, but this is over.  Being the drag version of you just isn’t fun anymore.  I’ve moved on to Calista Gingrich.”

Sony

Smiling, Puppies, Sunshine and All Happy Thoughts

Ron Paul

“He’s [apologizing] because some people were taking their advertisements off of his program.  It was his bottom line he was concerned about.  I don’t think he’s very apologetic.  It’s in his best interest, that’s why he did it.”

And Michelle Bachmann, kind of?

“I have gone through myself, and experienced, more things said about me and I have never seen this level of outrage on the left about what left-leaning commentators said about me…If you’re a conservative woman, it seems like there is no level of vitriol that’s beyond the pale.  I’ve been on the receiving end of it.  We all know Governor Palin has been on the receiving end of it…I think that maybe that’s what we should learn out of all of this, is that on both sides, we want to pay attention to what we’re saying.”

Macy’s and Kohl’s

Domino’s Pizza

Charlie Sheen

“Dude, even I think what you did is not cool.”

Little Caesar’s

“We believe that Rush Limbaugh’s recent statements about law student Sandra Fluke were both inappropriate and disrespectful, and we decided to pull our advertising on his program.”

British Petroleum (BP) and Exxon

Toyota, Honda, Ford and GM

The Hatfields and McCoys

“For the first time in the history of our two families, we can finally agree on something:  You are a terrible person.”

Yahoo

Rent-A-Center

The U.S. Army* 

“We have decided to end our relationship with you, and we don’t pull out of anything.”

Teamocil

AOL

People who have been denouncing him for saying horrible things for years (eg. Al Franken)

“Seriously, where have ya’ll been?”

Bonus: The people who have not

Mitt Romney

“I’ll just say this, which it’s not the language I would have used.”

Newt Gingrich 

“I am astonished at the desperation of the elite media to avoid rising gas prices, to avoid the president’s apology to religious fanatics in Afghanistan, to avoid a trillion dollar deficit, to avoid the longest period of unemployment since the great depression, and to suddenly decide that Rush Limbaugh is the great national crisis of this week.”

Rick Santorum

1. “He’s being absurd, but that’s you know, an entertainer can be absurd…He’s in a very different business than I am.”

2. “It’s good to be in the hometown of Rush Limbaugh, which some people see as a trip to Mecca.”

*I do want to say that, unlike the other quotes from Rush’s former advertisers, this one is (unfortunately) not real. I wanted to emphasize this only because I want neither the Federal Government nor the Army to sue me for suggesting that they don’t know when to pull out of things.
