1. Beckerhead does a lot of the promos in real time himself.



Special handling like that is probably the only way they can get the advertisers to agree to the contract.

:rofl:

3. Beck has NOT lost a single sponsor!
And he can prove it:

Write Advertisers on blackboard. Then write "STILL supportive" on same blackboard.

Circle Advertisers, underline STILL supportive"- then DRAW ARROW between the two.

There! Gotcha!

What further PROOF do you need, you Commie/terraist/unAmerican/Socialist-propaganda-spewing, closet Muslin, nit-picking nattering nabob of negativity?

Case closed.
