Stern Will Jump To Sirius In 2006
UnanimousCoward writes "Howard Stern announced it on his current radio show, and several feeds including this CNET article are reporting that Stern has signed a multi-million dollar multi-year contract with Sirius Satellite Radio starting in January, 2006. As I've watched technology grow from the time I was listening to Stern in the eighties, I can't wait to hook into a shockjock-timeshifted-podcast..."
Here's a cookie for having such a parochial worldview such as to not be able to envision a world without a morning commute, nor a radio program to listen to. Let me guess, you're from the Northeast, right?
Shutting down free speech with violence isn't fighting fascism. It IS fascism!
This is neither News for Nerds or Stuff that Matters. Stern is an ass and so is his audience.
actually we are talking about a crappy radio guy getting fired by his employer.
Snowden and Manning are heroes.
Actually, partner, what I was referring to was his calling it stupid. What makes me nuts? That in this country, it's en vogue to speak up every time you DON'T like something. After all, with political correctness being what it is, the loudest voice seems to win, even when the result is curtailing freedom. If you followed this, you'd know the backstory with the (what seems like) corruption between ClearChannel, the Bush campaign, and the sudden interest the FCC has in Stern, who, by the way, has been broadcasting for over 20 years. Why do they ride his ass now? He used to be so much more risque.
Didn't you mother ever tell you if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it? The parent post was worthless. I could give two shits if he doesn't like it. This is about rights and freedom. Not personal preference.
Puleeze... give me a break. Stern may be many things, but he's way down on the list of people trying to protect freedom of speech. All he seems to care about is money, degrading women, and bowel movements.
He made a move for the money - not for the freedom. I suspect he only has one trick, and that's getting strippers to take off their tops and french kiss a fat guy, and he's worn out his welcome in the mainstream radio market.
I'm all for him having some place to practice his "art." And sometimes his show is amusing, but generally, when you grow up, you grow out of his sophmoric, degrading attempt at humor.
I think there are many other people who are more worthy of being appreciated for their attempts to express themselves in politically-incorrect ways.
