If they are "reaping the consequences" it's a good example of my post above. They must be pulling the ads because the show is about Muslims. (They probably didn't notice that when they signed the contract to advertise on a show titled "American Muslim"). After all, racism is the only conceivable reason for a company to pull advertizing from a T.V. show' so that would be the logical assumption here.
the logical assumption is they responded to complaints about it being advertised there and it blew up in their faces if you ask me. It doesn't take many idiots sending in complaints to get a company to look at something and say let's pull it.
Good PR for the show though, i imagine their numbers will go up from people looking to see what the furor is all about
the show BTW is a ripoff of a pretty successful Canadian show a friend of mine executive produces called little mosque on the prairie now in it's final season. originally they were slated to sell it to the same network who decided to do their own version
