While many advertisers have been anxious to get out of the Rush
Limbaugh business since he made comments about birth control, one man thinks his company is just the right fit for the
conservative talk host’s show.

Dennis Hof, owner and proprietor of the Moonlite Bunny Ranch in
Nevada, thinks his new Motel 6 parody ads would drum up great
business if they were allowed time on Limbaugh’s show. Although, Hof says he’s not entirely convinced that Limbaugh has given his full
apology for the comments that had so many up in arms two weeks ago.

“‘I’m okay with prostitutes, as long as they’re legal.’ I want him to say
that.”

Hof told 97.3 KIRO FM’s Dori
Monson
that he wasn’t a fan of Rush’s language. “I don’t like the
word ‘slut,’ it’s such a derogatory term.”

Hof’s business could benefit from advertisements on Rush’s show, and
he has the numbers to back it up. He says that he had his girls do
informal surveys with 1,000 customers at the ranch, and his best
customer is conservative. Overall, customers are only 35 to 40 percent
Republican, but when that demographic visits the ranch they will spend
three times as much money as liberal customers.

The ad for Limbaugh wouldn’t be a live endorsement. It would be a taped ad,
that Hof says is edited for radio and plays on Motel 6’s catchphrase,
‘We’ll leave the light on for you.’

“We’ll leave the red light on for you.”
