20 years ago this week—WAAF Worcester/Boston hosts Opie and Anthony, who later went national, fired for hoax saying mayor of Boston killed in car crash
This week—a couple weeks after a would-be talk host on a San Diego station posted a tweet saying “Jump...to a new morning show” with a pic of a bridge that has had many suicides, the station winds up dismissing him even before his first show, and changing format...station is flagship of S.D. Padres
I recall an article in National Lampoon, something like “Prof Kenilworth Dissects The Joke” which IIRC it wondered if it was wrong to do tasteless jokes.Included were some abour the Challenger explosion (what did Christa McAullife tell her husband before the flight? ‘You feed the dogs and I’ll feed the fish’ etc?
In a world of Pocahantas Liz Warrens, the song “I’m An Indian Too” from Annie Get Your Gun is not included in many recent presentations of the musical.Not PC.
The song actually pokes fun at American Indian stereotypes.
Speaking of Challenger jokes...
What were Christa McAullife’s last words?
“Hey guys, what does THIS button do???”
