As NewsBusters reported
last month, Comedy Central's Jon Stewart did a truly vile sketch a few
weeks ago displaying a Nativity scene over a woman's vagina.
According to BuzzFeed, Delta Airlines has dropped its sponsorship of the
Daily Show as a result:
Delta spokeswoman Leslie Parker confirmed to
BuzzFeed that the airline pulled its advertising last week. Parker said
that "We are constantly evaluating our advertising strategy and at this
time no longer advertise during The Daily Show," and denied that the
decision had anything to do with "any opinions expressed" by the show.
Catholic League president Bill Donohue said the following in his press release regarding the matter:
Over the past two weeks, we sent our complaint about Jon Stewart’s
“vagina manger” stunt of April 16 to the major sponsors of “The Daily
Show”; we made sure they received a copy of the picture flashed on the
screen of a naked woman with her legs spread with a nativity scene
ornament in between. We are pleased with Delta’s response, and are
awaiting a reply from others, many of which were contacted only this
week.

Its pathetic when the best and most balanced news source on TV comes from Comedy Central - Jon Stewart.
He never chooses sides and is always a great watch.
Jon Stewart doesnt need Delta Airlines
others have been tossed from the air for far less.
he's a vile, filthy mouthed not even funny, mean troublemaker. sauce for this goose is never for the gander.
Try this with the muslims and see where it gets you. Mostly just gets your head separated from the rest of you.
Kudos to Delta. :-)
I love Jon Stewart. I am an equally opportunity offender. I like to poke at everything and I welcome any pokes at me. I have very thick skin. I really enjoy the Daily Show. It is one of the 3 or 4 shows on tv that I watch.
Jon Stewart IS funny and he DOES take sides, but here is capitalism and it's working just fine. Edgy humor brings enemies. Some of those enemies get to exercise some economic payback.
anyone who likes him has a taste for not really much else including doggie doo.
