Virgil61 Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Am I the only degenerate on this forum following Stern's new show? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost_Warrior Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 ick...I didn't follow his old show lol. I heard it once or twice and found it to be thoroughly disgusting. Now the Y100 morning show is hilarious (bizzaro file anyone?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pantagathus Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 (edited) can anyone give me a cross cultural reference here-the gentleman is not known in Brigantia Do you have an overly libidinous-lascivious, extremely outspoken radio/TV personality that has ladies come to the studio and take their clothes off?

Primus Pilus Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 can anyone give me a cross cultural reference here-the gentleman is not known in Brigantia He is a radio 'shock jock' or disc jockey. I have never heard Tim Shaw of Kerrang! Radio, so I can't be sure of the similarities but the two draw comparisons from media types. As for Stern. I can take him or leave him. Some days I find him quite humorous, and others I find him totally revolting, but thats the nature of his show. Its what he is trying to do and he is quite good at it. I haven't heard him on satellite... I'd imagine he's quite outrageous without FCC public airway restrictions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The show isn't much different really except for the four letter words and the whole crew seems on a bit of a high. George Takei (Sulu on Star Trek) of all people, is the guest announcer this week and he's been excellent. Quite a find--very funny, intelligent and witty. Of course Howard's been ranting about the FCC and corporate radio like ClearChannel folding under pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursus Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Not my cup of tea. But don't mistake me for a prude. I watch "Family Guy" which is known for its off beat humor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost_Warrior Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 "Family Guy" is great. so is "the War at Home" (ever seen it?

I think Stern is one of those guys who pretends he's a knight in shining armor in his private life and this in turn leads him to believe that he can say anything on the air and it gives him a free for all license. I'm all for freedom and all that but you can't have it both ways and if you're virtuous as you claim in your private life, that's fine but you don't need to keep throwing it everyone's face, as if you were unique in that respect. It's what is expected in most relationships. I think Stern is an ok guy if you're new to radio and you may find him amusing for a while. After some time though, it wears off and it's time to move on. I'm not sure that I'll be willing to shell out subscription money each month to listen to Stern though. I guess that may be reserved for his more die hard fans out there. He tries to do something different each day but there's only so much you can do, I guess. It's quite a testament to his skill that he has managed to pull this off for so long and I guess, he's a pretty talented guy in his own way. I did like his movie a lot, "Private Parts".

FLavius Valerius Constantinus Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Well I don't really like Howard Stern because he lets his own daughter get nude in public shows or in movies. Now I would never let my children do that. This guy is a walking immorality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I would never let my children do that. This guy is a walking immorality. Ya Stern gets a lot of flack from people who have these enshrined and archaic ideas of what their version of morality is, but I think that its the modus of his operandi, and I think we need a guy like him around to piss off people like this. It's refreshing when on the other hand you have insane fools like Pat Robertson calling for international assassination and holy war. I'll take the nudity thanks.

Ursus Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 To be honest, I think people like Stern and Robertson couldn't exist without each other. They feed off each other's excesses. The arch-conservative and the counter-culture shock jock - like black and white squares on a checker board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
