I haven't been on this forum much lately, but dammit if everytime I am its not ungodly slow.
I have been often entertained, sometimes disturbed/appalled by the howard stern show, and I have different thoughts about the FCC (I do think its absolutely necessary on public airwaves, but as always I don't want it overreaching its boundaries) and the extent to which shows like stern cross lines. However, stern's rantings about conspiracies against him are idiotic to me and crazy - I mean, honestly, if you don't listen to howard stern you will probably not hear about him ever. People don't (outside of new york city) walk around talking about him much these days, and he's a comedian, so he's not much of a hot topic in any important sense. My point is, I think his maniacal ego is fueling his ideas about the most powerful man in the world having it in for him, because he hardly an influential force of any kind and I hope too many crackhead bob fans aren't acting like droogs and believing whatever he says, because it's really kind of Andy Kaufmanesque BS thus far. All the same, at his best Howard is insanely hilarious and entertained me many mornings at my old job, and at his worst he's the world's most unneeded political activist. ...I guess I'm indifferent? He's really misguided in railing for Kerry anyhow, who would, I suspect not have much of a problem stabbing his mother in the head if it would benefit him politically, much less crush Stern - I don't think there's a single issue Kerry hasn't been on every side of, and as usual the FCC thing was met with his usual gray, ambiguous type of response, which is the transparent politician's way of answering something without answering it so he can move to the most advantageous side of the issue at whatever time.

I think it's just rediculous... Sure there need to be limits... but is Howard Stern ever doing anything more insulting and derogatory ( when taken out of context ) than he did back in the mid-90's? NO.
There are much more important things to deal with than what he says on the radio.... if you don't like it, turn the channel. Children should be at school during these hours anyways

Howard's bit got old years ago and truthfully, I don't find him funny anymore and haven't for a long time.
I still don't agree with the FCC, though. I just exercise my right to change the fucking station. It seems to work.

Yeah, I mean the funniest thing to me was just hoping that Gilbert Gottfreid would sit through the news segments...that's probably a bad sign (although that was usually funny as hell).
