ebonlockWhat the fuck is wrong with these assholes?
Bad-boy radio hosts Opie and Anthony yesterday topped even their infamous 2002 "Sex in St. Pat's" stunt, serving up a homeless man's profane declaration that he'd like to rape Condoleezza Rice, Laura Bush and Queen Elizabeth.
The graphic sequence on their XM Satellite Radio program showed that even in a medium with no restrictions on content, Opie and Anthony found a way to cross the line.
The actual comments were made by a guest the shock jocks call Homeless Charlie. As each woman's name came up, he said, "I'd love to f--- that b----."
They laughed as they imagined "the horror" in Rice's face and what it would be like to hold her down and punch her in the face....
The audio and transcript are available here along with one of the most poignant and honest responses I've read so far from an actual victim of rape. The actual dialogue was even worse than what was quoted in the paper:
One of their guests, a man called Homeless Charlie, says, “I’ll tell you what—what’s that George Bush bitch, um, Rice…? Condoleezza Rice? … I’d love to fuck that bitch dead, man,” at which point the rest of the studio erupts into laughter.
And did the shock jocks try to stop this clearly insane tirade? Nope, they encouraged the psycho to keep going. Now maybe I'm just a humorless feminist but this strikes me as the kind of sick shit that should get you thrown off of any radio station in any civilized country.

Update: Want to let the employers of these two assholes know what you think of their little stunt? You can find out how here.

Date: 2007-05-12 01:24 am (UTC)Apparently the broadcaster and the advertisers expect something like this to happen and even write into these vermin's contracts they behave this way. If there's too much blow-back the broadcaster and the advertisers will back off and "mea culpa mea maxima culpa" and pretend they didn't create the very environment that allowed the incident to happen in the first place.
The "shock jock" is nothing more than the company clown doing his vulgar little thing for his corporate masters. But then they can point their fingers at their trained monkey when it shits on the carpet.
It's brilliant in an evil kind of way.
