I just received a communication from Peter Warhurst, CEO of the advertising agency that created the amazingly offensive ads for the PGA tour. Full letter stored here.

"I am in receipt of the comments you recently provided regarding our television commercial. Upon further consideration of the spot, and with the feelings of our customers as well as the general public in mind, I have decided to pull it from its rotation and no longer air it. While the commercial was created to be lighthearted and comical, I am sensitive to the fact that we have failed in that it has proven offensive to some people. This was never our intent and I am truly sorry for any discomfort or unpleasantness it has caused. Thank you for taking the time to bring your concerns to us."

I hope he learns something when his wife tries to gut him like a fish and the 911 operator views his situation with the same flavor of lighthearted levity. I wonder if Mr. Warhurst would take comfort in that afterwards, in the arms of her whiffle-cut wire-rimmed feminist social worker, his wife expresses that she is, indeed, truly sorry for any discomfort or unpleasantness he might have experienced. Wouldn't that just make it all better?

At least you helped get it pulled off the air. Maybe that's one less person that will promote hypocracy and ignorance in the media.

I received the same letter.

I think he's afraid of being "Imused".
