John Dunning Quote

Sanborn customers threatened to boycott the product. The Chicago Tribune pronounced the show vomitous, and of course congressmen hemmed and hawed. The result, according to Time, was that a thoroughly alarmed NBC and J. Walter Thompson apologized publicly and announced that they would never do it again. Mae West became an instant persona non grata in radio: at NBC it was forbidden to utter her name on the air, an unwritten ban that was still in effect 12 years later.
