    Re: What did Imus say?

    I agree his comments weren't nice but it is his show isn't it? I think scrutiny comes with the territory.

    and haven't rappers said worse things?

    Bao is right about us flipping out if he said things like that about OU players. even if they did look that way.

    Re: What did Imus say?

    Chuck, if the lady Sooners looked like the Mabel Bassett All Star squad you would have a point. But if they looked like that they would look like a bunch of nappy-headed hos. So you really don't.

    Re: What did Imus say?

    Imus will continue to be Imus....

    He's just getting a little Headline action.

    If they fire him....he could go on Sirius with Stern and say anything he wants...

    Freedom of speech babay!

    NBC will probably pi$$ him off with some sort of Executive comment...

    It wasn't the nicest thing in the world but come on people . . . I've heard worse shouted in a crowd at the mall or during rush hour.

    Re: What did Imus say?

    So let me get this straight-he shouldn't have to apologize for calling participants in the NCAA finals "nappy-headed hoes" because he was just being non-PC.

    I didn't find the comments so much racist as I did sexist. And rude. I'm flat-out sick of the excuses people will make for out-and-out rudeness in our society just because people think politeness is "PC."

    Chuck, if you're interested, I found out why Thailand blocked YouTube. I guess there's a video on there showing feet near the King's face, and YouTube told the Thais to pound sand when asked to remove it.

    Oh give me a break. Like you didn't think "nappy-headed hoes" when you saw them girls.

    Re: What did Imus say?

    Whether I did or didn't isn't the point, Dean. Do YOU say everything you think? 'Cause if you do, I'm guessing you're a pretty crappy dinner guest.

    We're trying to have a society here.

    Feet are considered very dirty and gross in Thai society. It'd kind of be like a video on YouTube with someone rubbing their pecker on President Bush's face.

    Most of the time, yes I do. And I'm a wonderful dinner guest. People would rather hear truth than lies, no?

    Wow. I guess the concept of politeness never seeped down into the Dean household. See, there's always the option of just not saying anything.

    You're telling me that when you go to a friend's house for dinner and the food isn't to your liking, you think it's acceptable to tell your friend's wife "Mabel, damn, this casserole tastes like warm ***?" Or you think that it's "PC" to just not say anything and eat it with a smile?

    Well, Dean, if I don't stand up for your rights, who else will?

    sigh

    First of all, if it ain't guts or really fishy fish chances are I'm gonna enjoy it. I'm pretty sure warm *** is much better than cold ***.

    Second of all, we're not talking about mundane things here like salty soup or something.

    If we're discussing something over dinner like religion, politics, or the price of gas, you can bet your frozen *** I'm gonna share my opinion. And back it up with plenty of reasonable documentation for said opinion. To not do this would make me a mealy-mouthed little waffle-bug who nobody wants to have over for dinner.

    Re: What did Imus say?

    Really, all I want from my dinner guests is for them to tell me how wonderful I am. Is that too much to ask?

    You know, if Wendy Williams said the same thing about the Florida's mens basketball team, we wouldn't even be having this conversation.

    All his "PC" stuff can suck it......

    Um, OK. But that's not what this is about. This is about someone saying something extremely insulting about other people in a public forum. Giving your opinion on politics or religion or the price of gas isn't necessarily insulting. What Imus said was absolutely insulting and had no other purpose. You can't tell me that you don't see the difference.

    That's because Joakim Noah is a nappy-headed ho.
