From Anne Newman of Operation Outcry: Silent No More (www.operationoutcry.org): "Earlier this week [of May 15, 2005], shock jock Elliot Segal of Washington, DC's radio station DC101 decided it would be hilarious to hold a contest with a prize for the listener who had the most abortions. While this contest was disgusting by its very nature, the offense was compounded because he held the competition on public airwaves during early morning hours, when people are driving to work and bringing their children to school. The 'contest' featured at least one potential statutory rape, two medical assaults and a number of...

The nuts ARE running the asylum in Chicagoland... Today's 11/27 cartoon in the PAPER carried a note: "TOday's Get Fuzzy strip does not meet our standards for taste, so please enjoy this substitute strip from 2002." So, they showed some strip. Curiosity got me wondering WHAT was so terrible that they had to pull it... So, to www.comics.com I went. HERE is the strip they refused to post.

Punch-Drunk Love is a worthless trash of a movie. It is loaded with vulgarity without purpose, meaningless symbols, relationships without feeling, silliness without humor. It has no redeeming value and is a waste or time and money. For some reason some of the critics -- for example, on Excite or several at Amazon.com gave it good write ups. I believe these people were paid or had relatives in the film. No one could like this completely flawed, boring, worthless movie.

NEW YORK –– In the almost-anything-goes world of radio, home to Howard Stern and Don Imus, a pair of New York shock jocks discovered what goes too far: sex inside St. Patrick's Cathedral.
