OK so one of my favorite radio shows has been cancelled because of a prank call they made to a Chinese resturaunt. What the fuck is going on in this country? Now we have to watch every single word we say so that we don't offend anyone at all. People are crying out for rap artist to stop using certain words in their music. We don't even have to worry about the government limiting our freedom of speech we are doing it to ourselves.

    Opie and Anthony are no talent hacks. The Dog House was funny as hell.

    That's besides the point. Wether you liked them or not this is just getting fucking ridiculous. It's getting to the point where you will not be allowed to say anything even slightly offensive or contraversial because you may loose your job.

    It's not even the FCC. It's the radio station themselves fearing backlash because their talent is saying something contraversial.

    Thank AL and JESSE for all of this, and oh yeah the Rutger's team had a small role in this as well I recall one girl saying "I am scarred for life", maybe she stop listening to Snoop, 50, MIMS, etc... I mean afterall they are refering to her as well.

    I would blame the media first and foremost for making something out of nothing. Then I would blame Al and Jesse and I wouldn't put any blame of the Rutger's team. They didn't make a big deal and didn't even ask for him to be fired.

    Up until Virginia Tech they were milking this for all it was worth to them, read Jason Whitlock's take on the whole subject, KansasCityStar.com

    I read his article and it was good. I agree that Al and Jesse milked the shit out of this. It's unfortunate that Imus lost his job over something so trivial. Had this happened a week later we would have never heard about it.

    Maybe, maybe not when it is a "race" issue. I hate saying this but had it not been for VT we might still be hearing about this.

    oh, come on man. you can't say they were fired for something and not provide a link to what they were fired for, or even recount what was said in the phone call. i want to laugh too.

    Due to recent events such as the Imus situation and now this incident, I found this Mencia clip very interesting. I don't watch him very often, but Sunday, I caught this right before going to bed.

    Enjoy
