We Did It! Verizon Drops Akon

Last weeks winner of our Wagging Finger of Shame Award, Verizon wireless has terminated their relationship with Akon for his abusing a 14 year old girl on stage in Trinidad. We told you about it here last week.

Yes, we can make a difference. Thanks Verizon for thinking about our daughters.

UPDATE:Okay, well maybe we didn't do it single handedly. Turns out Michelle Malkin and Laura Ingraham also had campaigns to get Verizon to do the right this. They also apparently stopped sponsoring his tour and selling his ringtones on their sites.
