You're screwed, I'm screwed, she's screwed, he's screwed, we're screwed

Radio is not meant to be used as entertainment anymore. First Imus gets fired for saying "nappy headed hos", then 2 NYC jocks get fired for a prank phone call to a Chinese restaurant, then Opie & Anthony are suspended for 30 days(still under threat of being fired) because a homeless guy alluded to having violent sex with Condoleezza Rice, Laura Bush and Queen Elizabeth on an XM satellite radio channel that is branded 'XL' for 'explicit language' and you have the option of blocking that channel. Why is it OK for movies and TV to make jokes but radio has to be a serious medium? Why is it that a paid TV service, such as HBO or Showtime can air things that a paid radio service can't? If you hear any of these recent incidents out of context it's easy to jump to conclusions, but the Imus and O&A incidents were unscripted things that happened... things happen.

Now given, all these jokes are not always funny, the hosts realize this but it is not against the law to offend somebody or bomb on a joke.

By the way, Imus was fired in the middle of a yearly telethon he does for sick children and he has a ranch for terminally ill children and kids with cancer, which will both be affected by a couple of words. But Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson continue to be 'black leaders'.. who voted these guys as leaders?
There was recently a rape case of a black woman accusing 3 white Duke students of rape, it continued for a year during which time Jesse Jackson said that no matter how it turned out, he'd pay for the stripper/accuser to get a university degree, well, the case just closed and it turned out she was lying.

And as for Al Sharpton, just research Tawana Brawley and you'll see what a piece of crap that guy is.
