[bungle bud]

sorry no link, stern is gone for good nationwide, i woke up to be greeted by clay atken singing invinceable...fucking nightmare,bastards, i hope your happy mankie  :mad:

Check the date!

bungle, I woke up at exactly the same time as you...to Clay friggin' Aiken.   And then those two jocks -- Cross & Lopez, "fun without the filth."  Did you listen long enough to hear Tom Chiusano's statement that Infinity and its parent Viacom could no longer keep Stern on under the FCC threats?
 
 BRILLIANT.
 
 About 10 minutes in, I realized it's April 1.  Apparently it lasted the first hour and 15 minutes of the show.  Howard should have taken the day off and left Cross and Lopez on ALL day so that fans, listeners, advertisers, etc.,  would understand what it is to have no Howard and get more incensed about doing something.
 
 Howard haters, no reason to chime in.  You don't listen anyway.  And that's why radios have on/off buttons and many different channels.

Exactly the reason I don't give a rats what happens to the wanker....on or off the air it makes no difference to me because I have an off and tune button on my radio. I never said nobody should be allowed to listen to him, I simply said I don't find him in the slightest bit funny, very offensive many times and can't understand why he gets (or got) away with stuff when other jocks had their careers destroyed for much less.

Missed it, but that is brilliant!

But he demeans people who are desperate to be famous, who often have no talent and big fake tits. I like a laugh at their expense.
 
 It probably just means I am a msogynist, but plenty of women seem to enjoy the show. Possibly because they hate that type of vaccuous woman?
 
 Why do the women of the board like Howard?

Like I've said many times...each to their own.

Man, that was random.  I find it interesting to see whether a person refers to it as the Death Cab show or the Kweller show....
 
 Markie, to answer your question, I get bored with the strippers and fart bits.  However, as an example I have to admit I LOVED the stripper game that HOWARD originated years ago as the homeless game and Jay Leno stole -- when he'd quiz strippers on general knowledge and they didn't know sh*t.  He's also done it with celebrities, two of the most memorable for me being Joe Millionaire (who thought 12 times 12 was 24) and Tori Spelling (who said the capitol of New York is New Jersey).
 
 When there are fart bits, I turn it off.
 
 But 70% of the show is Howard talking with his Robyn, Artie, Gary, etc. just about life, the news, intra-office politics (the workplace stuff is the best).  And they're all really honest, I've gotten to know their personalities and quirks, and Howard is really very reasonable on a lot of things.
 
 And, his celebrity interviews are stellar, just incredible.  There's a reason papers and magazines are constantly 'reporting' news that came from Stern interviews.
 
 Because of all this, I'm not bothered by the naked chicks, just bored with it.

even if you don't like him you have to want him to stay on, we can't let the bastards win.  i dont want a movie rated r because there is smoking or curse words bleeped out like bitch, or crapp, or sex.  a few shakespear books are already banned in skols and no howard in the morning sux.  
 
 "violence is okay as long as they don't use naughty words." or sexual images (like bikinis, sex and dancing)
 
 i already wrote to some congress person....and i'm sure that they dont give a flying fuck, no money was in the envelope.  but i did lie about age and sex etc....so they would maybe not trash it right away.....
 
 SHIZZLE THE FIIZZLE UP FLAWDIZZLE!!!

I would twist that a little bit:
 Even if you don't like him you want him not to go off the air because of censorship.
 
 I don't like him and I'd like him off the air, but that's why I don't listen.  I don't want Big Brother to take him off the air, I just want him to be forced off by tasteful, intelligent listeners changing the channel.

 Oh my god. Grow some balls. I can not for the life of me imagine Stern really offending anyone that much.
