IMUS IMUS IMUS.........................

BABA BOOEY BABA BOOEY HOWARD STERNS PENIS

Why does this remind of a recent South Park episode?


I work in radio,I've met Don Imus numerous times. My grandma said if you can't say anything good about someone you shouldn't say anything at all? No more comments from me on Don.

Millions of people bought Sirius shares at $6 to $8 for their retirement
accounts, and rode them down to $3.50, never losing faith in Stern. At
this point, they need to face up to the fact that they're screwed. Stern
made half a billion. They will make nothing. They can file SIRI stock
certificates away under "S" for stupid. They blew it.

I don't know... SIRI ran up on a possible merger with XM, and drew back when the FCC decided they were going to make them jump through a bunch of hoops limiting any possible upside to the deal (read - wouldn't allow a possible monopoly), but in terms of finances, XM is in much worse shape. If there is a race to the finish, XM beats Sirius to bankruptcy allowing Sirius to recover by raising rates.

XM is trading at a higher price, but their market cap is only 75% of Sirius even after SIRI took a dump. Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't buy either but at least Sirius has a glimmer of hope.

Anyone in the public forum is a target for Imus and his cohorts. I saw that he will be suspended. But to say only white people make these type of dumb remarks, lets not forget Tim Hardaway, Tyrell Owens, Isaih Washington, all have said and will continue to say things that are offensive.

Big co-sign.

my point was that IMUS makes a good profit now, but satellite radio would make him a killer offer, it would not be in the same league as Stern's offer but he'd be set for life and free to say what he wants without the FCC, NBC, or CBS breathing down his back.

That occurred to me, also. But I think that despite all his bitching about MSNBC, he really likes having both a TV and radio audience. He can tout his favorite charities more successfully. The political guests and analysts have a better audience. And the comedy bits by Rob Bartlett, for example, are better on TV.

Sparingly isn't accurate. Sirius had 600,000 subscribers when Howard first announced his move, and now they have well over 6 million. Most of those are are Stern fans.

Are far as Imus moving to satellite, why would they offer him anything? His ratings are in the toilet, he's damn near 70 years old, and he's just plain boring. Hes reinvented himself as some sort of beltway insider, which is the only reason he has any notoriety.

Imus's comments and suspension have nothing to do with the FCC. It's not a censorship issue, it's about keeping him respectable so politicians will continue appering on his show.

It's funny b/c I'm black and when I first heard it I was a little shocked, but now I'm kinda like "so what, get over it". These shock jocks say ALL kinds of insulting things. They insult all types of people, yet when it's a black person the media gets in an uproar.

It's also funny how long we've come since the days of when insulting black people was considered "ok" and a norm. It's good to see we've made that kind of progress, but I think Whites are now being over apologetic, and it's mainly b/c many blacks are now in more positions of power (and by power I of course mean money)

And why does anyone give a fuck what Don Imus has to say? He's an old irrelevant douche bag.
