Oh please,
http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5h88sYPwyr_nXjvWrDPYQmUZu5yvgD91GBGI00 Even after he explained the context, CNN is still saying OMG HE SAID SOMETHING THAT CAN REMOTELY BE INTERPRETED AS BAD puuuuuhlease this story is barely registaring on my radar. Why can't people in the news get outraged at something more important regarding race like how inner city schools are getting screwed thanks to No Child Left Behind or how blacks are more likely to live in poor-quality nursing homes compared to whites, http://www.temple.edu/newsroom/2007_2008/09/stories/nursinghome.htmor how many blacks are still perceived as criminals.etc. geez, look I am not a racist, I'm just pissed at the fact that every time Don Imus says something remotely stupid it immediately IT TAKES FRONT STAGE over more important issues that should be taken care of first. In comparison to what an old wrinkly shock jock says on a radio station that barely anyone listens to in this area. he didn't even say one racial slur,zero. Not one peep of the N word, not one. |

'Sensationalism Sells'
Thank goodness Howard Stern kept his idiotic mouth shut (well - I guess you really have to chose to listen to that clown - you have to PAY).
Guess if we want *real* news such as you mention, well, better go to NPR.

I'm not a fan, but when I heard this this morning all I could think was "Man, he's not going to be able to BREATHE soon without someone taking offense."

Don Imus is actually a better pitchman than he is radio announcer. Some of his commercials are gems, such as those for Vital K, a product that may be no longer in existence, as well as the Turquoise Buffalo tortilla chips. I wish ABC or CBS Radio would hire Imus to only do radio spots.

I'm truly upset about the comments," Jones said. "Obviously Mr. Imus has problems with African-Americans. I'm upset, and I hope the station he works for handles it accordingly. I will pray for him."

And I think of the old Cheech and Chong song/routine, Basketball Jones.

You'd think that if Imus wanted to illustrate the point that he says he was trying to make, he wouldn't have used Pacman Jones as the example.

...a whole bunch ado about nothing. In this case, leave Imus alone - the friggin' whiners are all standing around like beat-up little kids with snotty noses and weepy faces, pointing at big bad Don Imus.

I loved Earache, My Eye. Sounded like Black Sabbath to me.

Aren't there more important things to get upset about? What's the big deal?

I'm a guffaw away from getting escorted out of here!
There are some pictures he looks like Rocky Dennis from Mask. (Eric Stoltz, I think)

Friend of mine just brought over a mixed CD that his son made for him. Turns out that one of the songs, Love Jones, is the song that Basketball Jones is based on! Here're the lyrics and the song. Great stuff :
Love Jones
Brighter Side of Darkness
What's happenin', baby?
Did you miss me over the weekend
If you did, I'm sorry But now that I'm here I don't want to bore you With an irrelevant conversation But you see, darling It's about time for me to Get real serious about you Because if someone was To rip me off of you I couldn't account for My actions, after all And knowing the way I feel Knowing that you should Be mine, all the time But you see I not only want you, baby I need you And the need is so strong It's almost like that of a junkie In other words, baby I just got to have you Listen to me, darling Please, listen to me Love Jones, I got a Love Jones I got a Love Jones for you Love Jones, I got a Love Jones I got a Love Jones for you What, baby What is a Love Jones Shucks, darling It's when you love someone Very, very much and you Just can't seem to Get yourself together Like last Friday in class When Mr.Russell was Giving us the test I was sitting up, staring at you And daydreaming I know I failed A test paper with Nothing but my name on it I guess anybody can Have a Love Jones It's just love, the true love The way I feel about you That's a Love Jones Love Jones, I got a Love Jones I got a Love Jones for you Love Jones, I got a Love Jones I got a Love Jones for you.... |

Give honestly gives a damn if someone said something. Oh my GOD, he said such and such. Stupid ass media. But all they care about is ratings. A lot of people says racist things everyday. It is no big deal unless you are some type of celebrity, I guess.
