Anybody remember when Beth Ringle got canned for dropping a GD on Channel 8 in Tulsey town. Those were the days.

La ola es mía.
and we're talking about a guy who has a radio show and is a shock jock wannabe real journalist type.
he should only have to answer to those who listen to him and his employer/advertiser.
this ain't a government official.
if we're going to bust a nut on this then let's go after Tokyo Rosie and the whole lot of 'em.
Good points there, pic. I do get this whole shock jock thing.
Funny how several posters in this thread mentioned the Thailand blocking of youtube. Before the block, that offensive video clip had 6,000 hits. In the 24 hours after the block the youtube hits rose to over 60,000.
Anyway, I ain't a government official either and I can freely express my own opinion. This **** isn't much entertainment.
I still say fire his sorry boney white arse.
I'd just knock the bitch out.
You had better get a med exam, as you and I are in agreement on this...besides, I have always found Imus particularly repulsive.
Put a lid on it! Kiss it goodbye. We gave it away, and apparently thought it made sense to do so.
I don't disagree that what he said was stupid, but so is calling for him to be fired. You know what you should do? Vote with the radio dial. Don't listen to him. Trust me, the radio stations take notice of stuff like that, especially when their advertisers start walking. My biggest complaint with the damn PC movement is that they take away the element of choice for everyone. If I feel that something said on the radio is offensive or that I don't like it, I turn the station and I don't listen to it anymore. Censorship is bad, even if it is censoring people like Imus, because censorship hurts everyone, not just the people you don't like.

why do I feel that this crowd would be bitching about Jimmy The Greek being fired back in the day.

Scott - its not a black white thing....at least not for me......what he said was idiotic and highly insensitive, and wrong
but i just dont think people should be fired for their comments.......people in goverment positions? sure......radio and tv? no...
Well here's the catch-22. Ultimately the radio and tv are responsible to their sponsors and board of directors. It's when sponsors threaten to pull ads that they get nervous, and I think that would be more likely to get Imus fired than Sharpton and Jackson making public noise about it.
Truthfully, Imus should have been fired back in the 90s for just flat out sucking.
The Jimmy the Greek reference was more along the lines of the "well the jackass said something stupid, but he shouldn't be fired for saying something stupid." response.

hell Scott, you make it sound like he invented the word 'nappy'. Words are just words. They have no power. If someone chooses to be offended by words then that's their business. It's sad that we have to censor words because a minority of the population doesn't like them.

Easier to say for the group that is on the other side of offending words most often.
how do I do that 1tc? I've only stated that Imus should have been fired long ago for a) not being funny, b) not being relevant, c) being useless and wasting airspace for the last decade+.
I also simply said that it's more dependant on the sponsors for the station on whether or not Imus'd get fired than by anything Sharpton or Jackson say. I'm not offended by anything Imus said at all. I'm not surprised that something stupid came out of his mouth that has made news, it's about the only time anyone remembers he still exists.

water is wet. kudos to us for pointing out the obvious.
You ever been on the winning side of a discrimination lawsuit against the State, the Higher Ed Regents, the OU Regents and OU? I have.

Yes.

Wow.
You must be right about everything.
I was wrong once. In 1988. I still remember that day.

hoe's isn't racial. I know some white ones.
It's not, and nobody has claimed it is. It's sexist.
Describing a person of color as "nappy-headed" is racist.

I was joking ruffled feather guy.
I know some nappy headed white hoe's too. we all need shampoo ya know.
