How is the Situation Affecting you?

[LiddyRules]

I know I'm not the only one but is anyone actually suffering further physical/mental symptoms/issues/problems over the past couple of days? Like there is a definite change in personality that has come with this.

I'm a lot more sluggish, depressed, hopeless and apathetic than usual. I'm finding it difficult to concentrate on anything but the future of the show; I can't do any sort of work or find myself interested over anything. I've been smoking a lot more, nervously eating and watching the same episodes of "Good Eats" (my current 'depression' show) on Youtube over and over.

And like a chick I've been buying stuff I don't need; if I had a carton of ice cream I'd probably be eating it too.

I'm at the point where if other people have problems, it confuses me that people have lives and circumstances outside of the O+A show. And I can't read those blogs/illinformed articles/TV Shows because it would put me dangerously close to some sort of line that I really don't want to be.

And the weird thing is if you tried to explain it to anyone outside the 202-niverse, they would not understand it in the least.

So, anyone else or am I just a girl?

[mikeybot]

I'm spending way more time on here than I have in the past few months, sending off a ridiculous(for me) amount of emails and checking every news page I can think of

[BroGonzo]

I'm obsessed with following the story. I haven't sunk into despair yet, but I found myself screaming at the TV last night when I saw O'Reilly's fucking segment with Mancunt.

[Ronreddog]

I was so pissed off yesterday, my fiance and I had a fight! First one in months!

I have secluded myself in the apartment, and spentway too much time on the Internet. I feel better today, and heading out for some grub!

CYA!

[JoeyFromHB]

I was real upset about it yesterday, but I feel a lot better since XM announced the boys would be on the air Monday.

[seeinred]

I was real upset about it yesterday, but I feel a lot better since XM announced the boys would be on the air Monday.

QFT, but seeing Sharpton say he's going to decide whether or not to call for their firing made my blood star to boil again. As if he and he alone decides whether they stay on or not. Fuckin coon ass lookin motherfucker.

[Boz]

I can't spell worth shit, but I think the word is apethy. For too long we have taken O & A and their right to say anything without worrying about an Imus type attack because of XM. We thought they were fine to say anything on XM and now we know that is not true.

Well this was a wake-up call for all of us because it CAN and did happen to O & A. And in response to the question asked, I have been sick for the past 2 days writing Emails, visiting this site more than I ever have and worrying that our friends will have their livelyhood taken away. It is sickening and has to stop.

I hope everyone is reading the Stickys on this page, sending the Emails and if possible attending the protests.

For all the joy and happiness our 2 friends bring us each day, it is the least we can do.

And yes, I think I sound like a girl too.

[wes mantooth]

I found some help for your problem:

[mills]

I must have clicked "No" on that wnbc poll over a thousand times. Probably took about an hour and a half. That's pretty sad right there.

Mostly I'm just feeling violent. Mancow and Oreilley really sent me over the edge last night. I think I started blacking out at one point, my vision was definitely darkening & lightening in tune with my heartbeat. Then an hour of Sharpton to add insult to injury. Thank god for alcohol.

[Southern Fried Pest]

I've been a nervous wreck since I first heard the news Thursday. And was so pissed off that night that I was shaking with rage

[jpc165]

I feel better when I fire off these emails and post thought out comments on these cunt bloggers shit sites.

I feel a sense of hope when I read the websites of a sponsor that still supports the show.

As long as the show is the on air monday, the world has not gone to complete shit yet.

[cloudrocks89]

I was afraid to check Wackbag this morning because i thought they could have been fired.

You're a girl.

Seriously, I was so annoyed at the Hannity and Colmes debate last night, I couldn't fall asleep. I was up til 2 AM just pissed off at Sharpton, and at McGuirk for not strangling him.

[Juncti]

QFT, but seeing Sharpton say he's going to decide whether or not to call for their firing made my blood star to boil again. As if he and he alone decides whether they stay on or not. Fuckin coon ass lookin motherfucker.

Wasn't he just under fire earlier this week for being a bigot and insulting someone's religion in the presidential race? For some reason he's allowed to be insulting and offensive to anyone, but everyone else is held to some higher moral standard.

I've definately been getting more pissed as all this has developed, each time I hear it on tv or see it on the internet I get more pissed. Not only as a fan, but at how the media jumps on things like this and distorts it to make their point without a moment of thought as to how it affects the actual people that listen to the show.

I'd put money on the fact that none of these so called journalists even heard the show. It wasn't until it was news and the clip was linked that everyone jumped on the offensive bandwagon. Fucking assholes.

[TELL'UMFRED]

I stayed in on a Friday night emailing my liittle heart out. I bought four pounds of coffee from the Nashville Coffee Comapny because of their support of the show, I don't even drink coffee. I joined People Against Censorship and sent them a donation via paypal.

[Big Dick Mcgee]

I've been stressed out since thursday over this shit. Seeing mancow that night made me want to murder him and Al Sharpton for that matter last night. I am starting to feel a little better and I think all of us as of Monday after the show will feel a whole lot better.( I Hope. )

[Squat Toilet]

I feel violent sometimes and other times very upset. I almost can't watch Mancunt or Aint to sharp but weighs a ton. If I saw Mancunt on the street I would spit right in his fat face. I really should stay away from these shows because this much anger is not healthy. Then at night I'm having trouble sleeping. Oh yeah and a headache too.

[krisko]

i've been horrible for the past two days, sending emails telling everyone not to buy condoms and baking soda, buying coffee i'll never drink. i sit wackbag all day at work and i'm checking google news every 5 minutes to see if there are any new stories. my boyfriend thinks i'm nuts for being so obsessed with this but he gets the upside of a lot of anger fucking. and the smoking...i'm going to sue drudge for breaking a story that directly contributed to my having lung cancer....thanks for this thread it feels good to get this off my chest

[GLENN_THE_TOOL]

the thought of losing the bbboys to this bullshit witch hunt has been stressing me out. and seeing as how college finals were this week and i've had to worry about this on top of studying my ass off and i've been pulling double-duty at work too, it's insanely draining. last night was the first time i went drinking in 4 months because i needed something to alleviate the stress. and i've been trying in vain to avoid a lot of the news coverage, hoping i wouldn't have to hear "Opie and Anthony have been fired."

[BeltOfScotch]

I'm speechless

[Budyzir]

I've just been in a funk since the Thursday night. The only thing that made go from funk to rage was watching Manass on Hanity.

[Hans_Gruber]

I don't want the bbboys to be fired as much as the next guy...But, holy shit LiddyRules. Get a fucking hold of yourself.

[DrumminTech]

It's depressing to turn my XM on and hear the boys with such enthusiasm on the replays after the drab we had to hear on Friday..Then seeing the deflecting-the-question-asshole Sharpton blow smoke up everyones ass on national tv again..Kinda sucks the life out of ya..I think I've worn out my mouse refreshing WB and checking all the news websites over this garbage..

[MJ001]

I was calling a game for a local radio broadcast here in Detroit and I was reprimanded when one of the players made a shit play and I said "when I was in grade school we used to call that a brainfart."

Apparently the word "fart" is extremely offensive.

[VirusCarrier]

When the guys recently discussed the theoretical bit that will cost them their jobs push them int retirement, I thought, "Well, when they blow themselves up I'll just move on." But now that there is a real threat to this becoming reality I've found myself much more effected by it than I thought I would. I guess I've been infected by the virus and didn't know it. I had never even visited this message board, let alone consider registering, until today.

[fandango86]

I have to take a shit

[fetusFARMER]

I dont really care... Ive been listening mostly to shows on oavirus.com

[Dre]

I've definately been more on edge lately, because it pisses me off that I won't know the official outcome of the show for a lil' bit, (although it pleases me very much to know I will be able to hear the boys on Monday). So, yes it is affecting me and I would guess the people around me.

I'm on Wackbag much, much more checking for updates on O&A's current condition, but it looks like at the moment they'll be fine for a while and the media shitstorm has settled down for the time being.

[elitemrp]

sending emails, buying coffee, having evil thoughts (specifically of what ill do if they get fired)

[LiddyRules]

I don't want the bbboys to be fired as much as the next guy...But, holy shit LiddyRules. Get a fucking hold of yourself. Looks like I'm not alone Gruber, looks like I'm not alone.

nobody wants to see OnA fired, but I think you need a hobby, a pet, a girlfriend or maybe just some Lithium or other similar mood stabilizing drugs... It will be okay dude.

[Natesac]

I banged a tranny... and found out that it was actually a woman.

I am obviously distraught.

[trucker_ben]

Fuck here I am reading this and relating to all of you. I was so happy they came back after the 2 week vacation (after listening to every Leo Laporte podcast in a 2 week time) I can't listen to anyone else that does "a comedy show" anymore. Not sure what I would do if O&A were gone?????

[mendozathejew]

my anger level is sky high

[mulletjunk]

Here is a little something submited to a little town news outlet. I felt compelled (a bit long)
Opie and Anthony are offensive, rude and obnoxious as are many other shows are lumped into the same category. Whether you agree or not that is their right as American citizens. That right, according to the laws governing this country, cannot be loosely interpreted. It is spelled out quite clearly in the First Amendment of the Constitution:

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

When ANY person voices a personal opinion via ANY public forum, they will and have offended someone that hears the opinion firsthand, reported through the media or was “told” by someone else. There have been so many comparisons to the Reverend Al Sharpton that I will use another example to illustrate my point. Rudy Giuliani is a well respected leader not only in his local community but across the nation. Few people would dispute that he has done things that have come to very good results. He is not perfect by any stretch of the imagination but does well enough to be considered for the most powerful and influential position in the free world. His recent expression of his opinions concerning aboration has caused considerable controversy within the nation. There are people that would kill him given the opportunity simply because he stated an opinion on a topic. He has not been censored nor made to apologize to some of the most powerful advocate groups in the country that are calling for him to step down from the Presidential campaign.
Many of us have seen rallies by organizations such as the Ku Klux Klan on the television news or other television programs. At rallies of this type, there is nothing but hatred and some of the most offensive language possible on display. Not only are these groups not stopped from gathering, there is always a strong police presence to protect the participant’s freedom of speech.
There are so many of us that base our opinions using a very selective process. I think if we look at ourselves honestly we will find this to be true. We are very selective about our own morality, compassion, acceptance, etc… It is astonishing just how flexible the concrete beliefs that make us who we are can be when it suits our needs. The human mind can justify many things when it comes to reaching our own goals.
So many people, especially those in the advocate groups that are out to mold the world to their own personal ideals, turn to the government to force change. Some do so as a bullying tactic and others do so to evade their own personal responsibilities. The latter is a very frightening thought. Until we, as individuals are willing to accept responsibility for our own actions and those that we are supposed to protect (our children) how can we ever evolve past our current state? Why would someone expend so much time and energy taking away a freedom that others enjoy when they can simply make a choice? If there were two rooms and one smelled like shit and very hot inside and the other room was very comfortable, wouldn’t it make sense to just choose to go into the room that is less offensive and let those that choose to sit in a hot shitty room worry about themselves?

[knightoffrunkis]

If they get fired from Xm I'll tell you what i'm Gonna do. I am gonna flush my Xm down the toilet and Fuck my mother

[trucker_ben]

I would smash my MYFI into a 10 pieces and mail it to XM and go by a Siruis if they get rid of O&A

[njdave02]

I've been concerned for the boys.. I was listening to xm121 today for a few(fox news) and they brought it up.
I was screaming at the media whores on the radio and my wife told me to calm down, it's just a radio show.
I then (stupidly) pointed out that every second in the car I'm listening to O&A or their replays and how its a life style not just some "stupid show" and proceded to explain how much the show means to me and the loyalty of the fans.
This escalated into a huge mess, wife yelling, kid crying and me wishing for a motorboat...
Well.. not really the motorboat but you can see how this gets brought into my day to day...

[MrBobTV]

I'm so upset that I actually posted a message on Wackbag rather than lurking like I have been for the last 2-1/2 years!

[ILOVEUWxx]

I've had a few prevailing thoughts and emotions since this shitstorm started brewing -

1. This shouldn't even be a shitstorm. Some fuckin filthy spook bum comes onto a show that we fucking PAY to listen to, and shoots his mouth off. The hosts of the show we pay to listen to laugh mostly incredulously, and these faggot PC police motherfuckers try to swoop in and make an example out of O&A...AGAIN. I could go off on how this is an indirect result of right wing religious conservatism and shit like that, but instead I'll just say that this is fucking gay. I'd like to open handed slap people like Bill O'Reilly in the fuckin mouth until he spits his teeth out crying anyway, but issues like this really illustrate to me how ridiculous our society can be.

2. I have a pretty strong opinion regarding the majority of the show's fanbase since O&A have come over to XM, but I'll echo Ant's sentiments and say I'm impressed to hear that the Wackbaggers in particular, and O&A fans in general have mobilized and put together an organized/mature effort to make ourselves heard. I was definitely expecting the "Pests" to fire off about 10000 e-mails with poor spelling, grammar and thinly veiled threats, but to my pleasant surprise, that appears to have not been the case. :)

3. Someone else mentioned it earlier, but once all this shit dies down, I really wish someone would make a concerted effort to make the people who rally against Imus, O&A, JV & Elvis, even fuckin Stern taste some of their own medicine. How much would you pay to hear Sharpton on O&A and have Ant and Jimmy fuckin skewer him about Tawana Brawley? Why can't there be an O&A fan demonstration against that fucking faggot hypocrite Bill O'Reilly about that intern he was trying to molest? I think stuff like that could work really well provided there were no fans yelling "FRRRRUNKIS!!" or holding O&A signs, and shit like that.

To sum it all up, I'm mainly pissed the fuck off that I even have a reason to be pissed off about this shit. :mad4:

[Natesac]

...but your mother, not mine.

[topher520]

I told my Girlfriend that O & A might be getting fired and she smirked....I swear to God thoughts of Lacy came to mind, but then I took a breath and gave her the Goon hand out of the bedroom.

[Hoo Hoo Howie]

Been really bummed since yesterday, and really depressed today. I'm hoping for the best, but couldn't imagine life again without O&A and Jimmy there to make me laugh.

[moldycheeze]

Between the way the boys were acting friday and how R&F was without Fez I did not have my normal appetite. I feel a little better today but I am still a little nervous.

[Glenn Dandy]

My fucking liver is killing me!!!!!!! C,mon guys..




Just kiddin livers good Knee .... ol Hops liver.

[DoucheSatchel]

I see alot of posts in all the threads where people are saying that they are feeling better about things for a variety of reasons and I find no comfort in any of it, as time goes by I find myself becoming more and more of a Gloomy Gus over all of it and I'll tell you why:

XM not only made the buh buh buh boys look like assholes right now (hello exactly) but they didn't even have enough of a testicle to stand up and correct the media's lies and distortions that the segment in question was about r a p e/sexual assault neither of those comments ever came up in the bit.

FM didn't stand up and say that the segment aired after their O n A broadcast, they jumped up on a pedestal and went on about how they have protections (even after losing Trojan as a sponser <pat laugh> </pat laugh>) in place that would never allow that kind of filth (paraphrase) to grace their airwaves.

XM didn't bother to get up and say that we actually pay to for this "deplorable" service and that they did have channel blocking for it, instead they removed O n A from their front page and slipped some of that info onto the page as some kind of afterthought.

CBS fired JV and Elvis

XM is now officially censored radio and we have no clue as to by whom or by what standards

On the upside WBL did say that it appears that XM isn't going to pander to the race baiting negro....I hope it's true....but given their complete lack of testicular fortitude up until this point....I really can't believe it until I see him jumping up and down on some Samsonite luggage screaming about it on TV.

All in all the only people that have given me any hope whatsoever in all of this are the fine folks at Nashville Coffee and I really don't see XM having the balls to let them run the next promo that they said they would run the week of 5/21/07.

I really feel bad for the buh buh buh boys because right now it's really looking like the one place that they seemed to feel was a safe haven for them (XM) has pulled out the ball gag and left them feeling Pretty fuckin far from ok, and it all happened due to something that they didn't even say...

I truly hope that I'm just being a goose about all this but it's just not looking good from where I'm sitting right now.

[njdave02]

I told my Girlfriend that O & A might be getting fired and she smirked....I swear to God thoughts of Lacy came to mind, but then I took a breath and gave her the Goon hand out of the bedroom.

guys relax.. nothing definite yet except the boys are gonna be on monday.. jesus christ.. pansy petes

[UsedLadBag]

Well, I spent all day Friday losing my mind and emailing anyone who would listen and posting a comment for every article that came up. Then I started daydreaming what I would do IF O&A were really gone. I daydreamed of buying a gun and killing Al Sharpton, all of the CBS execs, all of the XM execs (except E-lo), and so on. Then I thought about jail. Then I daydreamed about whether I could actually make anthrax in the lab if I tried. Then I thought about jail. Then I daydreamed about going somewhere very public dousing myself in gas and burning myself to death in protest. Then I thought about the fact that I have a wife and two year old daughter, and burning myself to death probably wouldn't be covered under my life insurance policy. So I went and smoked the first ciggerette I've had in over a year, shook my head and went back to emailing.

[mills]

I'm really not depressed or apathetic. If they actually get kicked off I would be, but I'm more energized and incensed right now. It LOOKS like it'll be ok this time (knock on wood), but if they do enter the old Two Weeks of Death suspension, I dunno maybe I'm naive but it feels like there's something we can do this time to reverse it. We have the best shot of doing that out of anybody, and that includes Stern, because we've had to go through it before. I think there's a much higher percentage of us who won't be content to take our entertainment and free speech for granted and just sit around being the silent majority who lets it happen.

[Mizzeaux]

I've found it neccesary to come out of the shadows and make all the jokes the regulars make 2 minutes later than them. I'm such a no timing having zilch. Have a good weekend.

[DoucheSatchel]

I'm sorry, I left out one of the more disturbing issues in all of this, the XM "suspension" (read as cancellation) of the Black Philip show.


More evidence that 202 is now editted for content (read as censored)

[Pest in PDX]

Hi, new here. :icon_evil

I've been amazingly pissed because I simply can't wrap my head around what the boys did that has people in a shit storm. I just can't comprehend it. I usually use my wife as a compass on these types of things because she gets offended easier than I do, which for me is almost never.
Sex For Sam-She's Catholic and thought it was stupid (even though she laughed), but not something they should have been fired for.
Sex for Condi-I played the clip and she asked what part was the problem part. She doesn't get it either.

I'm going to spend the night watching Lucky Louie.

[XMGroz]

I have slept 5 hours in the past 53 hours. I work overnights so Friday, when things started to heat up, I made it a point to be at the walkover for support. Then, I hung around with some fans and tried to see Ron & Dave live up in the studio but no dice. I went home and slept two hours before going to work having stayed up till 3 listening to Ron. Then, I made it a point to go to the rally today and left work at 8, hung around Union Square. Stayed there until 4, got home at 5 and slept till 8. It hasn't left my mind at all and I'm just watching closely, keeping track of what's out there and what's coming. It's definitely occupied my thoughts all weekend, along with how Fez is doing.

In other words, it's totally ruining my sleep patterns but don't want to miss a step. I'll be doing the Walkover all week.

[Larz]

My girlfriend can't figure out why I keep randomly donkey punching her.

My girlfriend can't figure out why I keep randomly donkey punching her.

There was the joke. Line of the thread.

[SwimConnerSwim]

I'm probably going to catch some shit for this, but it is what it is. The people who posted in this thread need to take a step back. I mean come on it is just a radio show. Not sleeping regularly, and having murderous thoughts and uncontrolled rage isn't healthy. I'm kinda stunned at the amount of energy being expended on this minor minor issue.

[LingCuntShldDie]

your fucking nuts but i understand O&A are a huge part of my everyday I ve been here a lot in the past few days, and plan to spend a lot more time here. FUCK STERN FREE O&A FUCK CENSORSHIP

[Dani0524]

I am depressed as well. I am waiting for any new news to come about regarding this. I am praying nothing happens to the boys regarding this stupid incident. I am a woman and listened to the episode and didnt think anything was wrong with it. This is just a witch hunt. If I I hear the boys are off, I am cancelling all my 3 subscriptions. They are the only reason I have XM.

Dani

[LingCuntShldDie]

I keep shitting in the kitchen and eating in the bathroom + I've been keeping my chick roommate in a cage in my cellar until this things clear up. It's my own version of the hack DJ protest.

[LingCuntShldDie]

where can i see the latest news coverage replays on all of this

[Redelta 88]

I told my Girlfriend that O & A might be getting fired and she smirked....I swear to God thoughts of Lacy came to mind, but then I took a breath and gave her the Goon hand out of the bedroom.


I told my girl if O & A get fired I'm gonna cancel our XM accounts. She promptly reminded me that we wouldn't be able to listen to Ron and Fez if I did that. As a compromise, I agreed that I would put pretzel sticks in my ears and hammer them into my eardrums. If I can't hear anything, how can I be sad and depressed if it gets taken away? She's so smart.

[Mizzeaux]

This thread is a joke setup. Fucking softball. Everyone saying they're really hugely effected is as guilty of fake trauma as the media is of fake outrage.

It is what it is.

[King Jumungus]

If O and A and little Jimmy can no longer can talk like they are guys just hanging out, talking shit and bashing people without worring about what anyone things, I'll just stop listening and get rid of my XM. I started listening because it was something I could relate to; guys sitting around, talking shit and being funny. Someone with some credibility needs to stand up and back them up, no matter how tasteless some of the comedy can be. If the christians don't like it, they can fuck off and listen to some christian stuff. I think the shit that they call "radio" is offensive to me, but I don't fucking listen to it. Maybe I should write the FCC and let them know that their christian radio offends me. Okay. I'm gonna call this a post. I'm getting ri-god damn diculous

[Nothing Sound]

I'm not affected one bit.

If they end up getting fired I'll just listen to something else.
I'd probably end up recording Ron & Fez instead.

No biggy.

[CaraC]

honestly, when I think about it, my heart sinks into my tummy for a bit but I'm trying not to worry about it too much... I'm normally a pessimist but I am trying to be optimistic about this... I do think that if any big actions are taken I will probably be much more upset, I predict a liquid substance coming from my tear ducts

[BigFeet]

I know I'm not the only one but is anyone actually suffering further physical/mental symptoms/issues/problems over the past couple of days? Like there is a definite change in personality that has come with this.



Do what I do, just keep gobbling up the Xanax.:icon_eek:

[greg1022b]

been on wackbag all day... pretty sleepy...and just lookin forward to monday's show

[Southern Fried Pest]

after seeing WBL doing some posting, I've calmed down greatly, and have actually had a pretty much normal day today, other than coming in every 10 minutes, and refreshing WB, FBA, and STI, wondering about Fez, and the bbboys, and who Earl will abandon next.

[DoucheSatchel]

This thread is a joke setup. Fucking softball. Everyone saying they're really hugely effected is as guilty of fake trauma as the media is of fake outrage.

It is what it is.



I'm sorry, but I couldn't disagree more, Opie, Anthony, and Lil Jimmy are the best friends that I've never had, they come into my house or car everyday while I work or drive and keep me company and entertain me while I swing my hammer (I rebuild houses for a living), they make installing fiberglass insulation bearable on a 95 degree summer day....losing them would have a definatively negative impact on my days.

[Larz]

This thread is a joke setup. Fucking softball. Everyone saying they're really hugely effected is as guilty of fake trauma as the media is of fake outrage.

I dunno... maybe you haven't been a long time listener being in Las Vegas...

Lets say you had a favorite sports team, followed em for years, huge fan, they're a major source of entertainment for you.

Then all of a sudden overnight the team was disbanded, not for performing poorly, but because someone who hated them used political muscle or the race card to destroy them. Thats where the worry and anger come from for some of us that are OnA fans.

Sex for Condi-I played the clip and she asked what part was the problem part. She doesn't get it either.

I'm going to spend the night watching Lucky Louie.

welcome, bro.

I feel the same way. It just blows my mind to even try and figure out the logic behind all the outrage.

[Clocktower]

I have been beside myself ever since Imus was fired. I'm a rookie stand-up comic, and all of us in Houston and the area have been up in arms about this situation.

I just can't fathom the double-standard, and the fact that they can attack comedy so quickly. Also, the media will NOT give equal time to people who have excellent points, and arguments in support of O&A/Free Speech.

[mattiew23m]

the night I heard about it, and saw the story spreading like wild fire. I felt like I did in 2002, and I wanted to fuckin' punch someone. But, the feelings were much stronger then in 02, because this time, THE BULLSHIT WAS FOR NOTHING. Atleast I can keep my inno.. Thanks Xm for not talking to that DOUCHE :)

[MattFromQuincy]

...Mostly I'm just feeling violent. Mancow and Oreilley really sent me over the edge last night. I think I started blacking out at one point, my vision was definitely darkening & lightening in tune with my heartbeat. Then an hour of Sharpton to add insult to injury. Thank god for alcohol.


Those two shows did the same to me, and then hearing Geraldo Rivera today say O&A "wants to r..." Rice instead of saying a homeless man wants to, was possibly the worst for me.
I'm angry, hate everyone I see, wanna take my truck and smash everything in sight, fighting with the wife, begun visiting white supremest sites, and beginning to wish Sharpton and all of his kind never set foot on a boat. I know that's harsh, but do you blame me? Why can't more blacks be as wise as Patrice? Sharpton and Jessie are definitely F-ing race baiting retards.

On a lighter note, if all this blows over, O&A will have great anger radio, bashing all the ManCunts out there, and we pests will have many glorious missions.

[mills]

This thread is a joke setup. Fucking softball. Everyone saying they're really hugely effected is as guilty of fake trauma as the media is of fake outrage.

It is what it is.
You are definitely in the wrong here. The reason I like O&A is that I love knowing I listen to the absolute cutting edge in humor and insensitivity. It rips me up to think I might not get to hear them anymore. Especially since I live in the US and I love free speech.

As others have said, you sound like a new fan. Go to www.cringehumor.net and get yourself acquainted with the friends of the show. It's that comedy cellar mentality that makes the show as awesome and as brutal as it is. They really are the best anywhere and that's not fanboy talk.

[Jack Donovan]

I'm not affected one bit.

If they end up getting fired I'll just listen to something else.
I'd probably end up recording Ron & Fez instead.

No biggy.

This is probably closest to my reaction. I havent been following the story much, so I was a bit surprised to see how big its become. I hope theyre not cancelled; CBS and XM should take a stand. However, if they are, it wouldnt affect me nearly as much as it did in 2002. I simply dont listen as much, or enjoy it on the same level that I used to, but Id prefer them to be on the air.

[Masterofsparks]

Me I am just pissed off that free speech isn't so free anymore and that hacks like Sharpton and Man Cunt can get air time with their self rightous drivel. I hope the boys take their advice to Imus and just let the single apology suffice. Anything more will just bring out the dogs.

[mills]

Id prefer them to be on the air.
Don't gush or anything.

[madbam]

I am still up at 12:35am...It will be nice to hear them on Mondee morning....I have been stressing about it earlier but things seem to be calming down... I am pretty sure the boys will be fine...

[SwimConnerSwim]

Basically my reaction too. As a husband and father I have bigger things to be worrying about. 2002 was a different time for me.

[Mizzeaux]

Dudes, please don't let the post count fool you, I've been a fan for years. I paid the premium to get the boys when they first came on a XM (I was one of the few). I know the show and I respect all the regulars here, including you miles.

We are fans of an honest show. Let's keep shit honest. People claiming to lose sleep are either full of shit, or need help. Carry on.

It would be a major loss for me if they left, 202 is all I listen to. But in this situation, I work, I bang my old lady, I drink Miller Lite and I sleep. Call me a shit fan, call me not worthy, but I'm not the minority.

I love the boys, I love the show (heh), but this fake depression shit over the situation is garbage. I sent my letters and I bought my Nashville coffee, they won't get the shitcan for this. IF they did I would remain a fan and support them in the resurrection of the show.

But Fake Trauma is for queers.

aaaaaaannnnnnnnnddddddddd

I'm not a queer.

[mendozathejew]

it probably depends on the type of person you are, not your political beliefs but more along the lines of how argumentative you are about things like politics. most of us were fucking livid over the Imus firing, a show we dont even listen to. and alot of us were disgusted about jv and elvis getting suspended and fired, a show we loathed.

if thats the way you think, and react to shit in the news and political garbage, and add along the fact that you listen everyday and have for years, this thing can really get a person angry

[BravoSierra]

I read news stories that are absolutely insane, and they don't bother me anymore. Everyone gets offended about everything... and somehow I'm supposed to look at groups of people as STRONG? Society is made up of huge pussies and I'm just becoming immune to it. I see special interest groups quite often in Berkeley, I just smirk at them and shake my head. Not because I 100% disagree with them, but nobody gives a shit about their opinion but them. When I see a dude on the street speaking about global warming, I laugh. I'm pretty earth friendly but even if I was 100% "green," I still have to walk past that dumb assfuck on the corner spouting about global warming. I'm just tired of being infuriated with redundant agendas. Don't give a fuck anymore. I'll just work, drink, bike, play video games, and hang with my wife... at least I'm happy doing all those things.

The OnA thing pisses me off more than anything though. It effects me and my everyday life DIRECTLY. It's a huge part of my day and I'd be fucking insane without them.

I'll take it a step farther, I'm actually furious over the fact that there's talk about Bubba the Cumsponge being in the crosshairs, and not only do I just outright hate him for his stupid name, I have never heard his shtick and he's on Sirius with that withered old Granma Stern....

There's like 5 Republicans under the age of 55 in Southern Nevada. I am one. I'm used to fighting.

This isn't political. This isn't even freedom of speech. The public thinks it is because that's whar it's been boiled down to for the dumbass general public. This is business. Imus got fired because the public was pissed enough to not listen..Even if it was bullshit. The boys have an audience with a voice. Supporting Nashville Coffee is the equivilent to Sharpton's Dark force saying they won't buy Coke if he stays on the air.

Imus got fucked. It happens in business. He'll either come back or he'll retire. Either way it sucks, collateral damage.

Gregg and Anthony will be fine. They are smart, they have people around them that are smart, one of their employers has balls, and they have a loyal group of fans like you and myself to help them and buy 3 pounds of coffee they'll never drink, only because they love listening to them.

They are okay. Take some pills and get a good night's sleep....and kill a tranny or two if you find time.

Also, I'm going to bed, so I can't continue. PM me to let me know how big a fuck I am.. be back Mondee.

Toodles

[B54]

Umm .. it isn't.

Call me crazy, but I don't care either way. I can't change the future. If they don't get shut off this time, the people that wanted it this time will chase after it again and again until it happens. What can I do? OK, write CBS. OK, write XM. It doesn't matter. Whatever happens happens.

somehow, I find that hard to believe given your almost 5000 posts in less than two years on this site

[CapnMorgan]

As a newer listener of O&A (Started NOV2005) I have been listening to every replay every day since then. I barely go a day without a show Ive been to a few walkovers and I have found myself from stern listener (last show i listened to his wife left him.) to O&A listener to fan to pest. I have no right to argue any point since Im such a relative n00b but I am as angry today as I have been in years. If the bbbboys leave i would hope for all out war on every single outlet that began this fall. I spent hours learning all about O&A listening to old shows, reading OApedia, even trolling paypal once in a while (cant afford it just yet). I have finally found a show that make me really and trully laugh for once something Stern really never did.
I want to attack any sponsor that drops O&A. I want to go behind live shots and hold up "cunt" signs. I would even rent out a billboard and put a giant WOW sign up. Of course none will happen unless the unthinkable happens and opie starts tending bar full time at F.H. Reillys (400 new your ave in the heart of huntington village)
The stupidity that has become our source of news boggles my mind. Who allowed the news to become so fucking entertainment oriented? Why does Anna Nicole, OJ, Lohan, and Paris take up more time than other stories such as Iraq, Iran, Afganistan or China (theyre coming.... and expert told me.)

Please let me know as a die hard fan and a person who wishes to be a force to be reckoned with, are my ideas valid? Can we truly take on the world around us? I dont want to vanish and fade away like JV and elvis fans or Imus fans. I want it to be known that us diehards are out there and we are ready to march through hell for what we know is right
:icon_evil
OA fan since 2005

[B54]

somehow, I find that hard to believe given your almost 5000 posts in less than two years on this site

And look at how many have been in General Discussion.

I assure you 98% are made in Off Topic. I love the O&A community, but with political correctness as rampant as it is, there is no one to stop it. Yes, there's us and a few Constitutionalists, but compare that to the PC lovers out there. Even my generation, the youth, the ones the most active against the status quo accept it as everyday life. It's disgusting. Who is there for us to turn to? The Democrats? Forget it. The Republicans? Neo-Conservatism is a disease worse than cancer. In modern society, there is no such thing as free speech anymore.

The problem is people trying to create a Utopian society in which every human is equal. This is an impossible task. A white man is more genetically superior to a black person. Look at any statistically engineered fact. However, who will say this? No one. This society is headed into downfall, an area in which our minds control what our hearts feel. Everyday, I watch it get worse and worse. To the point in which words will be barred from being said. In a world in which we are longer allowed to write or say what we feel in the chance it might offend. This world is becoming that faster and faster by the day.

What can I do? What can we do? I suggest a radical view that may not be limited to taking up arms. But that's just me.

[( . Y . )]

The whole situation sucks, it's such a non-story but the media and media whores are blowing it way out of proportion.

It seems that everything that is enjoyable and fun for me is going to be taken away because of political correctness.

I went to see Bill Burr at the local comedy club here, he killed. He mentioned O&A and talked about sharpton on stage. I was able to talk to him about what was going on after the show. Of course he was concerned and pissed, he generally said people need to stand up against all the bullshit, and i totally agreed with him.

Here's a clip of a local radio show here talking about mancow. The host used to work with opie and brother wease. Vos was in studio on the show, and chimed in on the situation.

You can skip ahead to the 00:21:47 mark to hear what they say.

[SmellyFingers]

I have been wondering what this country will be like in 10, 20 years, and where this country's priorities lie. I sent out several emails (hopefully considered to be intelligent and well thought out by their recipients, as those kind will be the most affective).

I have been put at ease by Anthony's comments over the past few hours, but I'm pissed off that "Reverend" Al is going to try to get involved. I think that Al was a bit hesitant at first - does he know that they will viciously fight back? Who knows. Maybe that is why he decided that he wanted to meet with the XM brass, because he considers them a threat to his public credibility.

O&A will cave. Just like they did with the Slave Girl skit.

[Jerry1]

Kinda put a damper on my whole weekend.

By the way, all these new posters are pissing me off....

[Michael Ryder]

Seeing how nothing is going to come of this and the story has lost its legs, I'm fine. O&A always win in the end.

[McGuirk]

I'm more nervous, that's for sure. I don't recall what I felt during Sex for Sam, though I remember everything developed rather quickly. I'm more critical of the garbage I see passing for entertainment now, watered down shit shaped in one of only a few molds. Homogenized is probably a better word.

While it will be a victory of some sort if they return, uninterrupted, to their show, this whole incident is ugly. And the news media will continue to still misrepresent and slander other people, while the opposing view is either pushed to the side or made to feel too ashamed to speak out.

[RabidHamster]

We knew this was coming, the boys joked about it, people monitoring the show, just waiting for a slip up, but I think the assholes jumped the gun, if anything they should have gone after the Francine stuff, but they chose to go after something the boys themselves didn't even say. The boys will make it thru this and at least now they will know who has their backs and who doesn't.

[krisko]

update.....my boyfriend said to me last night "why don't you return to the real world instead of being on a stupid message board all day" but..but..but....WBL was posting and i needed to see what he said to make sure everything was ok.....i'm an ass and very sensative about my o&a obsession

[krisko]

me too!!! even though i'm a new poster :)

[JoeyFromHB]

For everyone who is saying they don't care or they're not upset, that's fine, you don't have to feel anything one way or another... but don't crap on other people because the show means more to them than it does to you.

I remember 2002, I was crushed when they got taken off then, and right now, I feel like I did then, like I'm losing a friend. 202 is pretty much the only thing I listen to. Having O&A isn't what makes it possible for me to get out of bed every morning, but listening to the show certainly makes it easier and more bearable. It makes sitting in my stupid office all goddam day a little easier. And if that goes away, your damn right I'm gonna be upset over it.

Opie says a lot that the show has become a lifestyle, and for some people it absolutely has (personally I'm not one of them, simply because I don't have the time, but I lurk here and pop in on paltalk every once in awhile). There's a segment of the fanbase that have met friends, fallen in love, gotten married and in one tragic case I can think of, DIED, because of this show. It's absolutely understandable that some fans would be losing sleep over this.

<Jimmy voice> Will They? </Jimmy voice>

You mean the way they were viciously fighting back when it was Imus that was being ass fucked?

I have to admit they were pretty intimidating with all the "never apologize maaaan" "we're going out like James Dean maaaaan"

Or do you mean viciously fighting back like when they were apologizing waddle doodle and doing a non show because they didn't want to say anything that would upset anyone that may have been listening?

I've been kistening to O n A since they were on WNEW, and just like when they got banished for Sex for Sam, we wont do anything to help them much in the current situation, we are complacent, we are responsible for what is happening right now, and we will ultimately be responsible for not fighting to keep them around when they are taken off the air again (be that tomorrow morning or somewhere down the line).

And I know that there are people that will say hey....I sent my emails maaaaan, I'm pissed maaaaan, well guess what....no one cares about having their email clogged for a day or two, no one cares when PAC can only get 200 - 300 people to show up at a rally in Union Square, the only way that we could have an impact would be for us to show up by the thousands (and there are certainly enough of us to do that), to email AND snail mail by the thousands, and to do it everyday in every market until someone takes us seriously, and to seriously boycott the sponsers and companies that are caving to Rev. Race Baiter and the rest of the minority special interest groups.

Why aren't we going after all the media outlets that have been printing and broadcasting outright LIES about the content of the bit that started all this shit?

We actually have "fans" in here that are saying that if O n A are taken off the air or censored by XM that they wont even commit to buying a Sirius, Flushing thier XM units down the toilet and Fucking their mothers.

And it's already happening right in front of us, the O n A XM show is now officially a consored channel, that happened the moment that the sloppy party bottoms at XM decided to step up to a microphone and call the show "deplorable" and then make O n A apologize waddle doodle.


This is our fault, we pay for the XM service and we pay to be offended, and we're about to let them take that content away from us, and that's only the begining of what they will do to the show until they ultimately decide to remove them all together. and we have no one to blame but ourselves.

I don't agree with one thing you say right there. I don't believe O&A are going to be a censored show. I think they are going to put the same show on XM as they did before. They whole point of the backhanded apology was to stay on the air for us. This whole situation has opened up our eyes even wider to this watering down of the Constitution epidemic that is occurring in our country. Yes we are O&A fans but we are Americans and now we see that this bullshit "offensive" comment is hitting closer to home than we ever thought it would. I have seen half hearted attempts at this whole freedom of speech thing. It kind of started with the Imus stuff. Yes there definitely are some dedicated individuals but honestly it isn't our show. This time we personally are being affected by this and it is time to fight back against the media. I may not show up to protested but I have voiced my opinion more so to the powers that be more than any one time in my life and I see it being more than a fight to save a radio show as it is in being a fight to save our history. (sappy) Someone posted about siding with STN on this and that kind of sank fast but I honestly feel that despite the hatred of another show we have to stand on the same battleground with these people on this. Our rights are getting taken away from us. I still can't believe how right Shepard Smith was on this.

You're overlooking one crucial fact in all of this, XM is already a censored show, that happened the moment that they agreed with the media that the O n A show was "deplorable" and they made O n A look like assholes maaaan (hello exact) and made them apologize and then do a non show because of it...basic rule of thumb, once you let someone take your lunch money, they don't give it back, and they will be taking more the next time, XM just took our lunch money...you figure out what the next step is....

[DoucheSatchel]

XM went so far as to take O n A off thier fucking front page....if that isn't editing for content I'm not sure what is

[tstlkevanilla]

I know I'm not the only one but is anyone actually suffering further physical/mental symptoms/issues/problems over the past couple of days? Like there is a definite change in personality that has come with this.

I'm a lot more sluggish, depressed, hopeless and apathetic than usual. I'm finding it difficult to concentrate on anything but the future of the show; I can't do any sort of work or find myself interested over anything. I've been smoking a lot more, nervously eating and watching the same episodes of "Good Eats" (my current 'depression' show) on Youtube over and over.

And like a chick I've been buying stuff I don't need; if I had a carton of ice cream I'd probably be eating it too.

I'm at the point where if other people have problems, it confuses me that people have lives and circumstances outside of the O+A show. And I can't read those blogs/illinformed articles/TV Shows because it would put me dangerously close to some sort of line that I really don't want to be.

And the weird thing is if you tried to explain it to anyone outside the 202-niverse, they would not understand it in the least.

So, anyone else or am I just a girl?
all I can say is ..
QFT

[Ronreddog]

Speaking for myself, of course, and being a long time fan of the show, I can say this. The show is part of my life, such as some TV shows are part of others' lives, and it is disheartening to see what is happening to radio today.

I enjoy getting my dose of O&A in my life, it may not be everyday, cause let's face it, life is different every single day. The fact for me is that they provide ADULT entertainment, and this is why I listen. I was a Stern fan back in the day, before O&A were even on the radio, so, radio has been an integral part of my life for a long time.

The latest events surrounding radio is very disappointing, and we as fans, have to step up and do what we can. I have seen how the O&A family has pulled together and support the show that we love, and we have to continue on this avenue.

After all, we the fans, make the O&A show the popular show that it is today, and we must continue our support!

LONG LIVE O&A and little Jimmy Norton! :D

[LiddyRules]

This really is not a joke thread. I mean yes, it's not just Opie and Anthony that has brought me to this way, but I do feel what I said earlier in the thread. Of course it's a combination of a lot of things which included just that utter feeling of hopelessness and failure and losing something which is important to me. Not just the radio show but the right of crude humor and free speech and not having special interest groups on either side of the aisle take away stuff I like.

And when it comes to the show, for a lot of us, it is a form of addiction. It's close to 9 hours a day of radio, even if it's just background noise, it's become part of our lives. Most of us have crappy lives and horrible, monotonous jobs and O+A/R+F give a brief spot of joy as we're sitting at our cubicals rechecking data in Excel spreadsheets. It keeps us centered and makes the day go faster. The fear of losing that 9 hour injection that makes us feel alive, and being forced to face the isolation and silence as we figure out the Sum of A1 : D9, that's another big reason why we need this show.

And taking away the crappy lives part of the equation. If you listen to anything that is different every day for most of your day, every day, for weeks on end, for months on end, if that suddenly disappears, there is something lost. Look at how we reacted when they were on break for 2 weeks. And it's that fear of loss that, I feel, inspires a lot of our feelings.

And that's why I was actually being serious.

[Ronreddog]

This really is not a joke thread. I mean yes, it's not just Opie and Anthony that has brought me to this way, but I do feel what I said earlier in the thread. Of course it's a combination of a lot of things which included just that utter feeling of hopelessness and failure and losing something which is important to me. Not just the radio show but the right of crude humor and free speech and not having special interest groups on either side of the aisle take away stuff I like.

And when it comes to the show, for a lot of us, it is a form of addiction. It's close to 9 hours a day of radio, even if it's just background noise, it's become part of our lives. Most of us have crappy lives and horrible, monotonous jobs and O+A/R+F give a brief spot of joy as we're sitting at our cubicals rechecking data in Excel spreadsheets. It keeps us centered and makes the day go faster.

When O&A were off the air after the 2002 debacle, I actually had nothing but R&F to listen to, until they went off the air. I felt a void in my life, and waited, and waited. Then, the light at the end of the tunnel appeared, and the countdown was on for the return of the VIRUS, and BOOM, it happened in 2004.

Now, they are part of my life again, and I do not want to have that void again. We, the fans, have come together, and we must continue to support what we believe in.

[Sct Ptersns Twn]

I went to the Outer Banks, NC for Mothers Day Weekend. All I packed was O&A T-Shirts. I bought a license plate frame and put O&A XM202 on top and SPRD THE VIRUS on the bottom.
I drive on the beach and raise a 20ft flag pole with an American and Steeler flag on it. Now I want to make a WOW flag.

Oh yea and I was up all night Friday sending an e-mail to the fuckos. It goes something like this:
Dear Sir/Madam,


Will you really read this? I truly wonder? I am in Virginia. I don't listen to CBS radio, but I do watch CBS TV. If you censor radio what will be next? Could you start to censor your biggest hit these days on TV, Two and a Half Men? Think about it..........

I love O&A, I love Free Speech and love IMUS. Don’t make a free man gather up his WHITE MIDDLE AGED friends and boycott CBS with their lovely families that HAVE money to spend on your sponsors that also will be boycotted. .

[jeffie, lol]

I've been really sad and worried the past few days. This show has definitely become part of my life. It's really hard to find comedy like ONA.

[styckx]

Without the boys, I wouldn't have this place to turn to for my daily dose of comic relief and great conversation. Albeit, we do tend to attract more trolls and don't get the bit guys, but, thats what makes this place great. For instance everytime some douchebag spoke up and bashed the boys for apologizing, I got the douche chills cause I knew a public flogging would be taking place quicker then I could hit the reply button. It's not just the show, it's the entire fan interaction between us all behind the show. You have your Wackbag Sucks at FBA, you have your FBA sucks, you have your cringehumor, and whatever else small "rivalries" between the boards, but, it's all in good fun and is what keeps are busy little lives just a bit more sane throughout the day.

The situation has affected me this way. Constantly seeing the Rev. Al Sharpton on television pisses me the fuck off, as the supposed leader for the black community, when I can't remember the last thing he did for us. How this shit for brains, still has any creditiblity after the Tawana Brawly thing. All he is doing is causing a racial divide in this country. A divide that is evident on this very message board. His actions, with Imus and O and A, have angered many people. Now some people know how to express their anger with rationale arguements. While some others, express their anger, by using racial slurs. Thanks Rev. Al for making it hard for black people who don't get offeneded at every little thing that is said about us and just try to go about their lives. Giving racist knuckleheads even more reason to hate us.

Yes

[mills]

For everyone who is saying they don't care or they're not upset, that's fine, you don't have to feel anything one way or another... but don't crap on other people because the show means more to them than it does to you.
Exactly, and especially now, as if there aren't enough twats who want to tell us how to think.

[wigsnatcher]

o&a are the one thing that gets me through my work week. i 'm not too worried, i think xm will do the right thing. but if for some reason the boys disappear, then
i would say i was mentally affected in a way

i must agree sir. good post

[Pump Master]

You're overlooking one crucial fact in all of this, XM is already a censored show, that happened the moment that they agreed with the media that the O n A show was "deplorable" and they made O n A look like assholes maaaan (hello exact) and made them apologize and then do a non show because of it...basic rule of thumb, once you let someone take your lunch money, they don't give it back, and they will be taking more the next time, XM just took our lunch money...you figure out what the next step is....
People won't start defending the right of free speech until the situation is so fucked up, and it has effected them personally (like loosing there jobs for saying some insignificant thing). This country and this world have been going down hill for years now and it won't straighten itself out until a MAJOR catastraphy. I sure hope not, but thats proably whats gonna happen.

[Hog's Big Ben]

The whole situation sucks, it's such a non-story but the media and media whores are blowing it way out of proportion.

It seems that everything that is enjoyable and fun for me is going to be taken away because of political correctness.

I went to see Bill Burr at the local comedy club here, he killed. He mentioned O&A and talked about sharpton on stage. I was able to talk to him about what was going on after the show. Of course he was concerned and pissed, he generally said people need to stand up against all the bullshit, and i totally agreed with him.

Here's a clip of a local radio show here talking about mancow. The host used to work with opie and brother wease. Vos was in studio on the show, and chimed in on the situation.

You can skip ahead to the 00:21:47 mark to hear what they say.

That was great audio. BJ Shea was fucking on fire defending the boys! :clap: :clap: :clap: Vos, too.

Theres legitimate criticisms to be made of Al Sharpton, but to blame him for the overwhelming amount of racist rhetoric on this site is unjustified. Youre on a forum with a lot of racists who, unsurprisingly, react to Sharptons actions in a racist fashion. Sharpton deserves no blame for that.

Oh...I can't agree with that at all, I grew up in NYC, I went to public school, I lived there for the first 29 yrs of my life, I don't judge people based upon race, religion, sexual orientation, or any other criteria but how they act in general and how they react to me specifically....

That being said, I have called Rev. Race Baiter every vile racial epithet that I can think of and borrowed a few more that I've found both entertaining and appropiate, it isn't about black people in general, it really is all about him as an individual.

update.....my boyfriend said to me last night "why don't you return to the real world instead of being on a stupid message board all day" but..but..but....WBL was posting and i needed to see what he said to make sure everything was ok.....i'm an ass and very sensative about my o&a obsession
God help him if you get paltalk.

[mendozathejew]

Why aren't we going after all the media outlets that have been printing and broadcasting outright LIES about the content of the bit that started all this shit?

we have been. maybe not as hard as we should be we definitely have been. we've found voicemails, and every email address for every shitty columnist that commented. I posted the phone numbers for the local tv newsrooms.

so continue to attack that way. every thread has some email address and phone number

Frustrated since thursday.

Getting annoyed with any media outlet I see or hear.

Arguing with people who are misinformed because of the lack of honesty in the media coverage.

[zappafred]

I have written dozens of e-mails to a variety of people/organizations. The only response was a Thank You from Nashville Coffee who say they will continue to support and advertise on 202. Please buy coffee from them!

sharptons whole life seems to be criticism worthy.and the shit that cocklicker has did, and the lives he has ruined warrants all the criticism he fuckin gets.give me a break

we are racists?whatever dude

im so sick of that word being used as much as the word 'the', that it doesnt even have weight.

Are the guys definitely on xm tomorrow morning?

I have waded through pages and pages of messages, I don't see anything definitive that they will be on tomorrow...I live to far out in the middle of the country that I can ONLY get O & A on xm, and that is in fact the reason I have it. This is nerve racking waiting and not knowing. I can't imagine how stressed the guys are.

Anthony has definately said that they will be doing both shows tomorrow.
Unless something has changed that he hasn't told us, the answer right now is yes.

[JSHAW]

Go back in time to a year or two ago when there was an Assault on the Media and someone with a bullhorn almost blew out the reporter's hearing, which brought to a close ONE of the greatest bits ever on the O&A show, the Assault on the Media contest. I was more scared then that they were going to be fired than this homeless charlie bit.

This latest shenanigan hasn't affected me in the least. My confidence level is high, higher than normal that THIS ONE is going to blow over. They'll ride out the storm of controversy and within a few days Opie will want to find Homeless Charlie's cardboard box of a house and stomp smash it.

O&A ALWAYS WIN IN THE END.

[PyThomas]

I've had some small anxiety attacks over the whole matter. I was also planning on upgrading my XM receiver, but I'm putting that off until I know for sure O&A's jobs are safe. I'm sure they are, but you never know in this current hypersensitive climate...

They will DEFINATELY maybe be on tomorrow. They can't control what others say. It sounded like a nervious laugh from Opie and Ant was going along with the homeless black man because he was scared. But who isn't scared of them.. Rice lovers, somethings really wrong with someone that wants to tag those three. At least he didn't say all three at one time that would be gay and unacceptible.

He certainly does deserve the blame he gets from us. He operates openly and solely on the basis of race. Our disdain for him has little to do with his race, and everything to do with his meddling into our lives.
