I think the responsibility lies with the couple having sex, not anthony and opie. "But he told me to do it" didn't work when I was 8, and it shouldn't work with this group either. So Anthony and Opie encouraged lewd behavior. They didn't do it. All of these court cases about the KKK or Nuremburg Files webmaster encouraging people really makes me wonder where responsibility lies. I'm certainly no fan of the KKK or Nuremburg files, but as long as they aren't doing what they advocate, they shouldn't be held responsible (unless they give a gun to a minor and tell him to do it, or give a gun to someone they know to be mentally retarded).

By hosting the contest, publicizing the contest, setting the parameters of the contest--all with the full knowledge and support of WNEW and Infinity, btw--and soliciting volunteers for the contest, they were participants whether or not they "did" it. A pimp may not "do it", but he arranges it and benefits from it.

Opie and Anthony will have to be bought out of their contracts, you know. That's a punishment I wish someone would inflict on me.

Re: contest parameters--they assigned "extra points" to certain places. One of them was FAO Schwarz. The TOY store. Why do you think the show hosts, the station, the sponsors and the broadcasting company should bear no responsibility if their hand-picked contestants actually follow the directions they're given and go rut in NY's most famous and most busy toy store?

The constestants themselves are facing jail time. The people who inflicted the whole mess on us, though, are escaping with NO consequences. None of the planners and facilitators will face any punishment at all. I'm not satisfied.

The couple was charged with public lewdness, not Opie and Anthony. I don't think the couple is using the "they told us to do it" defense.

Opie and Anthony were fired. People get fired for reasons other than breaking the law.

So I guess you don't like the fact that Charles Manson is in prison?
