Google boycott mentioned on Techtv

I just saw it not 10 minutes ago, on tech tv they were talking about gun owners everywhere boycotting google for not accepting gun ads. I was pretty surprised to see this on tv, I didnt think it was that big. Techtv didnt sound anti the way they reported it, seemed to me they were on the gun owners side.
Anyone else see this?

Didn't see it but the idea of factual reporting is rather refreshing.

I caught the very end of it.They said the boycott didn`t seem to be having any effect as Googles hits had gone up recently.

I just went to google and put in a search for TFL and came up with nothing. Apparently boycotts can work both ways.

techtv covered something that wasn't a video game or online stock trading?? maybe I should start watching it again!

wait a minute.. they did do something on ultra high tech firearms a couple of monthes ago...(1 million rounds a minute), if I recall right it was neither pro nor anti.)

(the hits on my site went up too.. whats that? I don't have a web site?? well, my hits still went up! so I guess I can up my advertising rates)
