Passionate Apathy - by Francis

Imus Be Dreaming

April 11th 2007 23:34
Stop the presses!! A veritable army of media hounds have converged on the latest Story of the Day- that one story that dominates every newscast, that the whole industry is holding under a tunneling-electron microscope.

The story today (and tomorrow, and tomorrow...) is that a radio shock jock actually said something stupid and offensive. And in other breaking news, the Sun is hot.

Didn't we just do something similar with Ann Coulter, when someone went off the deep end over her doing exactly what she's been doing every day for fricking years? I'm certainly not condoning what these wastes of skin people have been saying, but as offensive as they are, how is it suddenly news?


Free Clue of the Day: They're not called "shock jocks" because of the substandard insulation on their equipment (though that would explain a lot!).

When I don't want to get wet, I don't go swimming. When I prefer my hand to not swell up, I don't stick it in a wasps' nest. I can do very well without the idiocy and bile these talk radio types waste bandwidth on- that's why all my radio presets are for music.

Great post! I personally hate shock jocks myself, we have Howard Stern over here and I swear that man is from some other planet...if I want to be shocked and not get an informative REAL life news broadcast, I'd stick a wet finger in a light socket, plug my ears and blindfold myself!



Take care,


Nick
