Howard Stern off the air?
If there is one thing that Americans can do better than anyone else is...OVER REACT! In response to the Jackson breast bearing stunt the bush administration is now on a witch hunt to silence controversal media figures. First stop, Howard Stern. Clear Channel who has nearly a monopoly in radio, wants to play ball with the government and cancel Stern so it will continue to get favorable consideration from government regulators as it seeks expand its radio empire. Feel like the red scare of the 50's all over again, god i hate bush.

I strongly disagree. I think that Americans and just society in general (in other countries as well) have just gone to shit. It�s like anything goes these days and no one gives a crap. I�m sorry, but if I had a 10 year old son who was watching the Superbowl and saw Justin Timberlake rip off Janet�s top to expose her tit w/ a pastey on her nipple, I�d be pissed. And all the attention whoring stars like Madonna, Christina and Britney kissing on stage on a show that young girls watch is disgraceful too. Then they think it�s cool, and the next thing you know, your daughter is on the cover of �Girls Gone Wild�. Trust me, your views will change as an adult with kids. The entertainment world should be a bit more considerate and discrete. And as far as Howard Stern goes, yea, his show is entertaining SOMEtimes...but he is the epitome of human scum. He exploits mentally handicapped people and has these stupid whores on his shows to talk about masterbation and sex and every single taboo topic you can think of. No body has any morals anymore including Howard Stern. He�s a stupid, ugly, scrawny fcuking tool who got lucky in showbiz.
my 2 cents

| Originally posted by igottaknow I don't agree with a lot of stuff Howard does ie making fun of handicap and other disadvantaged ppl. I only occasionally tune in for Robin doing the news, but I think he is funny and part of his stick is pushing the boundaries. So what do I do when he offends me? ... I reach for the dial and change the station! It's called the freedom of choice that's what makes this country great. As for children, sure his radio show isnt appropriate for them, but its on early in the morning when kids are either sleeping or at school. As for the jackson, while i agree it was a stupid vulgar plublicity stunt, it was on for all of 1 second and I've seen far worse stuff on MTV which is marketed and viewed by young kids. |
only clear channel took him off, i still have him here. It wasnt his choice, it was clear channel saying they wanted his "dirty show" off the air on their airwaves.

The President appoints the FCC chair. His appointment is Michael Powell, Colon Powell's son. Basically he's just a whore for big media who continually supports raising the limit on the amount of newspapers, TV and radio stations that the media conglomerates can own.
5 media conglomerates control the majority of the US media, and it's downright dangerous when you consider how the media basically rubber-stamped the Iraq war. The main 3 are Viacom, AOL-Time Warner, and Disney. Clear Channel is a right-wing media conglomerate along with Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. They own the majority of the radio stations in the US.
Another good reason to get rid of Bush is because of the tremendous power that the regulatory agencies such as the FCC have, which have been filled with Bush appointments that disregard what is best for Americans. Media consolidation is a threat to America. When you control the media, you control the sheeple.
On another note, I agree Howard Stern is a prick and a low-life, but these recent moves amount to censorship of those with dissenting voices by a powerful member of the President's administration.
I'm not sure what he did to get kicked off, but I'm gussing it was pretty bad because he's been lewd and whatever else clearchannel was calling him for a long time.

from what i heard, the only reason they put suspension on him was because a CALLER had said the N word. Stern disconnected the call, but still got punished with "indecent material" on the air. BS
i've heard worse on LoveLine. If i remember correctly, Adam Corolla insisted listeners to brutalize the handicap. still funny, but c'mon

Bush is an idiot.
He knows he can't win the election, so he's gotta do something to try and revive his political career as president.
Stern is a washed up has-been his 15 min was up 5 years ago

I know I, and all my friends at that age, already knew just about everything there was to know about sex (and I'm not talking about biology here) You can't bother trying to shelter kids because they're going to see it anyways, no matter what you do. You'll just end up fucking them up for life because you've tried to use security through obscurity, while he was out seeing it in the rest of the world. I still can't fucking beleive so many people are worked up about a little flash of tit. Get over yourselves, America. |

| Originally posted by Slylee well all you are saying is that just because it happens, it's OK. look, i am the LAST person on this earth who is going to be one of those naive mothers if i have kids. my parents always kept it real with me, and i will be the same with mine. when i lost my virginity, i went straight to my mom to get on birth control because she stressed the importance of being safe when i was ready, etc. and i felt comfortable enough to tell her. i'm just talking about the quality of people these days. i'm a bit old fashioned so sue me. i also happen to think that the education system (grade school - high school) should be same sex. high school isn't a place for education any more, it's a goddamn social life and kids are getting murdered and raped at such young ages. it makes me sick to my stomach to watch the news. it makes me want to raise my kid on a friggin island...the coolest, most intelligent people i know (not just book smart, but people with high emotional IQs as well) went to boarding schools in other countries and were well traveled as young adults. of course not everyone can afford that, but something can certainly be done to help middle class people feel better about sending their kids to public school. they already passed laws here in florida for public schools that all the kids have to wear uniforms. i think it's great. that way, the poor kids who can't afford designer clothes won't get labeled and all that bullcrap. little steps like these can hopefully make a big change in the long run. by the way, thanks jinxed84... |
Howard Stern 4 President!
no, j/k. But lets be serious. Any1 tuning into the Howard Stern show should be old enough to accept the fact that its all a "show" and its a joke! Come on. If u have little kids that are listening to this then thats strictly on the parents. I'm sick of hearing how its so & so's fault for this & that happening, but the question remains "Where are the parents?". Okay, the Super Bowl thing was kinda out of context because anyone could be watching that, but Stern? He's been doing outrageous sh!t for years and now all of a sudden its a bad thing & now he's gone past the limit. Fox & these reality tv shows have gone over the limit for quite some time. I just think the parents should be more in tuned to what their kids are doing & actually do some parenting for once!
I don�t know how this will go with so many Clear Channel haters, but CC only owns 6 stations that even run Stern and those stations are in low markets. This is more of a PR move by CC then anything else. Personally I feel that that Stern�s show shouldn�t be on the time slot that it�s in, his show is more setup to the late night show when young children are asleep, but that�s probably the conservative bible carrying little old me talking.

| Originally posted by jinxed84 the funny thing about that statement is you dont realize how blatently ignorant it was. you bash her for expressing her opinion, yet you get mad when people try to quash the things you like? think about that for awhile. given, your statement; as rude and pathetically immature as it was, is "your opinion". i technically should respect that. but i dont because youre being a twat. learn some respect. "your society" is based upon the work of free thinking. it may not seem that way now but every close-minded thug like yourself keeps putting that distance between what it was and what its turning into. so if you like watching your howard stern and your southpark i suggest you respect the ideals and ideas of others, or someone might treat you with said disregard for liberty and take what you like away from you. i hope you learned something, Mike |
