Here's a response:

Thank you for contacting Bally Total Fitness.

Bally Total Fitness shares your concern regarding advertising on "The Michael Vick Project" and we have blocked all future advertising during this program. We never intended to support this show and any Bally Total Fitness commercial seen during this programming was not placed in support of this program. Advertising is placed on the BET network to air during a broad rotation of hours based upon audience criteria. As a result, the Bally Total Fitness advertisement was broadcast during this program.

i got the same response from Nivea. I am impressed I got a message that didn't seem canned. I may buy Nivea now. What do they sell?

[Basenjimamma]

I signed and emailed most of the companies still keeping their crap up..

Nivea is a skin cream, I think…
I am sorry that the sponsors are responding properly.

I got this reply from Loreal today

Thank you for taking the time to contact us regarding the Michael Vick Project on BET.

Due to last minute programming changes, BET inadvertently aired a L'Or?al commercial without our knowledge.

We would like you to know that we have taken the necessary steps to ensure that our advertising does not appear on this program again.

The opinions of our customers are very important to us. Thanks again for contacting us with your concern.

Best wishes,

Writing to the sponsors is working!
Please, if you have not, do post to them.
See below what I recieved from Denny's

Subject: Response From Denny's

Dear Mrs. Sharron Hurlbut,

Thank you so much for providing your thoughts regarding the airing of a Denny's commercial during the BET program "The Michael Vick Project". As a way to effectively communicate with our customers across the nation Denny's advertises during many Television programs. “The Michael Vick Project” was not an authorized part of the BET advertising buy and was inadvertently put into the rotation. Because of concerned guests such as of yourself, this situation has been addressed and “The Michael Vick Project” will not be part of our future advertising schedule.

Thank you,

Denny's Customer Service

Dear Sharron,
Thank you for your feedback. One of our spots mistakenly aired during the Michael Vick show a few weeks ago. Upon notification that the spot did run, we contacted the BET Network and requested that it be immediately removed from this program moving forward. We do appreciate you taking time to notify us of the issue.
We appreciate your business!
