Thank you, readers. Thank you, Laura Ingraham listeners. Thank you, Verizon Wireless:
Verizon decided this week to end its support and sponsorship of Akon.

Akon’s ringtones have been removed by the Verizon Wireless website.
I just spoke with Gerace by phone, and he told me Verizon Wireless had made a “mistake” partnering with Akon.
It’s good to see some corporate responsibility here. Will others step up to the plate?

更新: A reader notes that Verizon is still sponsoring Gwen Stefani’s tour–with Akon as the opening act.
他们现在会怎么做?
更新二: Verizon writes that they are no longer sponsoring the Gwen Stefani tour with Akon as opening act. Jim Gerace:
“We are no longer — that was the decision we made this week. If the reader is seeing a poster or something promoting our sponsorship of the tour, it’s only because that material has not yet been destroyed.”
