And more:

StarKist: “We’ve pulled our ads from Wonkette effective immediately. Any mean-spirited coverage of kids is wrong. Glad you told us about this.”
TMobile: “Thank you for your note. We have pulled all of our advertising from the site. We appreciate the heads up from our fans. It allowed us to respond to the issue in a timely manner.”
Starwood Hotels: “Thank you for bringing this to our attention and we are in the process of removing all Starwood ads from this site.”
REI: “Thanks for bringing the W*onkette article to our attention today; REI is no longer advertising on the site.”
