Moments ago, Bonobos, a mens outfitter, announced on Twitter that it was dropping any of its advertisements that are appearing on Rush Limbaughs radio show:
@ScottCandage Looks like we were running on it, but weve told them to pull us from the show indefinitely. Thanks for letting us know!

Sears announced that they, too, are dropping Limbaugh:
Sears and Kmart did not intentionally advertise on the Rush Limbaugh show. 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.
According to a ThinkProgress count, Bonobos and Sears are the 10th and 11th advertisers to drop Limbaugh in the wake of his sexist and hateful attacks on Sandra Fluke.
