I mainly agree with everything you've said, jerkass.

They put nation above Fred. Neither Fred nor nation should be in the top 10.

As far as Clear Channel goes, the FCC wouldn't understand antitrust aims and economic efficiencies if they hit it in the face.

And even if they did, they'd hit the problem that Clear Channel doesn't have a huge presence in any given city, which are the markets they look at.

Like I said, they put nation above Fred. I didn't mean that they outlawed religion.

artists may have an angle on it though:

Billboard has learned that the DOJ has requested an interview with an official from the Recording Artists' Coalition. The DOJ wants to discuss allegations of artist intimidation on the part of Clear Channel Communications, the giant radio and venue owner under fire for its business practices

Well, its probably money and time wasted anyway. Satellite radio will soon do to braodcast radio what cable did to the networks. This begs the question, "Do satellite radio broadcasters get the same exemption from the decency standards that the cable channels get?"

The funny thing about this morality policing being done by the family values camp is that all it really does is kill the networks. Pay TV and Radio will emerge as the only entertainment options for normal viewers. If all the good material goes cable because of the lax rules, then so too will the most coveted viewers. The advertisers want the upwardly mobile edcuated viewers, most of whom watch exclusively cable. The networks will have to get by with McDonalds and Pep Boys ads down the road.

And the end result is that cable will ultimately get raunchier. I guess its hard to explain to these conservatives in an election year that try to police morality is like trying to lower the water in a bathtub by pushing it down.

What's the consensus on eggs being bad for you. I've been on a modified Atkins (its cheaper than getting my suits altered each winter) for about two months and I've lost a pile of weight, but I'm eating eggs every third morning, and the goddamned deli where I get them doesn't do egg whites or Egg Beaters, so I'm eating yolks. Is the jury still out on whether egg yolks are bad for you?

Tears of joy or tears of rage? Or both at the same time?

Further to my post yesterday about threesomes, permanent-style, does anyone know people who are in enduring three-way relationships? The sister of a friend was in one for a couple of years, but -- speaking of making me cry -- I never got to learn much about it. I would think the interpersonal dynamics would be all screwy.

if you have any cholesterol issues, yolks are bad. I don't think there is any jury out on that one.

"Toward the end, unsatisfied with showing a man flayed alive, nailed gruesomely to a cross, one eye shut from being smashed in, blood covering his entire body, Gibson has a large crow perch on the neighboring cross and peck another man's eyes out. Why? Because the porn needed yet another money shot."

-- Andrew Sullivan

yes, I rather liked this porn-related quote from a review I read yesterday. (sorry for perpetuating this thread)

"Still, the controversy [over anti-Semitism] turns out to have done Gibson a huge favour. It appears to have blinded many to the picture's far more provable faults, especially to its close-up deification of Christ's flagellated body — the word made flesh, the flesh made yucky. Looking to heaven, Mel Gibson has made a movie about the God of Love, and produced two hours of non-stop violence. We can only pray that next time, looking to Mars, he'll make a movie about the God of Violence, and produce two hours of non-stop love. That might be porn worth paying for."
