misogynystopThe Olive Garden, a subsidiary of the Darden Restaurant Group, is one of David Letterman’s largest advertisers, along with Mars Candy, Kelloggs, and Hellmann’s Mayonnaise, all companies who cater to families and advertise themselves as family-friendly:  and yet all pay millions of dollars to CBS to keep David Letterman on the air, where he makes “jokes” about Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees statutory-raping 14 year olds at baseball games, going on to say those 14 year olds are also prostitutes hired by disgraced former Governor Eliot Spitzer. 

Does The Olive Garden support the statutory rape of 14 year olds? 

Has Clarence Otis Jr., Olive Garden’s Chairman, decided promoting the statutory rape of minors by baseball players is the best way to sell unlimited salad and breadsticks?

Does Andrew H. Madsen, Olive Garden’s President, believe statutory rape of politicians’ children fits the brand and marketing strategy of his restaurant chain?

Because, it sure seems like Olive Garden thinks David Letterman is funny:  as of 6/11/09, they are still advertising on David Letterman’s show, where on 6/8/09 the 62-year-old pervert told America Willow Palin was statutory-raped by Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees during the baseball game her mother, Alaska Governor, Sarah Palin, took her to at the new Yankees Stadium.  Letterman said the rape resulted in Willow being forcibly impregnated by A-rod (“knocked up during the game”, as Letterman crudely put it). The following day, 6/9/09, Letterman claimed Willow was now a 14-year-old prostitute joining the ranks of the escorts serving the likes of Eliot Spitzer. 

Letterman thinks the exploitation of a minor is hilariously funny. 

What does The Olive Garden think?

Corporations voice their opionions with the money they spend: and The Olive Garden sure spends a lot of money keeping David Letterman on the air. 

Here are the facts for writing to every member of The Olive Garden’s executive board:

(1) Willow Palin was the only Palin daughter to travel to New York with her mother Sarah Palin in June of 2009

(2) Willow Palin was the only Palin daughter to attend the New York Yankees baseball game with her mother Sarah Palin on June 8th, 2009

(3) Willow Palin is 14 years old

(4) In every state in the union, sexual relations with a 14 year-old committed by a man over the age of 18 is statutory rape

(5) New York Yankees baseball player Alex “A-rod” Rodriguez is 34 years old

(6) Sex between a 14 year old and a 34 years old is statutory rape in New York

(7) On June 8th, 2009, Late Show host David Letterman said Alex Rodriguez had sex with, and impregnated, the Palin daughter attending the New York Yankees game that day.

(8) The only Palin daughter attending the New York Yankees game was Willow Palin, age 14, making the sexual act and forcible impregnation Letterman “joked” about statutory rape under New York law

(9) On June 9th, 2009, David Letterman then stated that 14 year-old Willow Palin, the only Palin daughter in New York, was also a prostitute of the variety that serviced former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer. 

(10) The Olive Garden is one of David Letterman’s biggest sponsors, running ads nightly on his program, where he tells “jokes” about statutory rape of 14 year olds, whom he later calls prostitutes. 

Does The Olive Garden think these “jokes” are funny?

Is such brutalization and exploitation of minors part of The Olive Garden’s brand strategy?

What will be the response of The Olive Garden should concerned parents and citizens organize peaceful protests outside their locations in cities coast-to-coast until The Olive Garden clarifies its position on the statutory rape of minors?

PLEASE write to the following executives at Olive Garden and note their responses to you at this thread below.  If you want to GUARANTEE these people will read your letters, FedEx-ing them will get them directly into their hands.  Yes, it is much more expensive than putting a stamp on a letter, but in the corporate world regular first class mail ends up in a mail room and sorted by interns all summer.  FedEx-es addressed to executives will be rushed up to the executive suite, where they will be delivered to the desk of their recipients in the morning.  It is GUARANTEED the CEOs, Presidents, COOs, etc. will receive those letters.  

All mail to corporations is recorded, we know that for a fact too.  Each letter written in today’s day and age of telephone and email is counted as at least 6-10 people out there who did not bother to take the time to write (some companies we deal with say they treat each piece of mail as 20-25 unspoken voices sharing similar sentiment). 

Keep it professional.

Keep it to one page. 

Keep writing these people every day so that their mail rooms fill up to bursting with letters asking again and again if OLIVE GARDEN DOES INDEED SUPPORT THE STATUTORY RAPE OF 14 YEAR-OLDS, because their financial support of David Letterman and his late night perverse pigfest certainly says that to us.

When writing, please use your best manners, grammar, and professionalism.  Zero expletives.  Nothing that could diminish the message you are sending.  

Just keep asking Olive Garden if indeed they do support statutory rape of minors and, if not, why they financially back someone who thinks such a horror is funny? 

Write to all 8 people above every day for as long as you can keep printing out letters, sticking them in envelopes, and can afford to stick stamps on them.  

Call your local Olive Garden and let them know you will no longer be eating there until such time as Olive Garden stops supporting the statutory rape of minors by advertising on the Late Show with David Letterman.
