[bif]

[proud2BlibKansan]

1. Count me in

11. See earlier thread on this topic. I don't give a SH-- for his last day.

Furthermore, I didn't give a SH-- for his first day!

2. I agree,

I have never understood the fascination with this guy.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

3. I get bored by him.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. I'm with you.......

He does NOT matter one little bit to me.....

:shrug:

[babylonsister]

5. I don't care either. After I heard him riffing in NY

in 1990 about someone w/cancer who deserved it, while my mom was dying, I never got over his crassness.

10. holy f***ing shit! nevermind n/t

8. I don't really care either.

I have nothing against Howard Stern, but I am not a big fan of talk radio to begin with. I'm glad he pushes the envelope when it comes to free speech, but his moving around a lot at radio stations means nada to me. I find the idea of paying for any radio station ooutrageous, unless it is a commercial free station. I can't afford Xbox radio or Serious radio or cable radio or whatever they call it. I'm not that entertained by the story to bother. I know I can't afford it anyhow.

12. We'll; be the last family in the US without cable

Pay radio? Fuggetaboutit!

[AntiCoup2K4]

13. Last time I listened to Stern was 9-11-01

That's the only day that I gave a shit what was going on at 6:00 AM in New York City. If you want a national radio show, make it a national show, not a New York - centric show that's syndicated nationwide.

[Oeditpus Rex]

14. I watched Stern for awhile when he was on HBO

But I got tired of him pretty quick. Guys who say stuff like "You've got great tits" and ask their size... that's just really tacky to me.

I think his whole bit is getting back at the people who picked on him in school.

16. ...you are some piece of ass!

I'd do you...HARD, you know that, Honey?!

:boring:

Yeah, his schtick gets old. Every now and then I find it morbidly entertaining to tune into his older shows on E!. I am fascinated at the readiness of women to walk into that studio and disrobe. I find it FAR MORE interesting when a guest refuses and sits there CLOTHED for her interview. Such a novel concept.

[Oeditpus Rex]

17. *forehead slap* Yeah, E, not HBO

And, yeah, the willingness of the bimbi; I'll never understand that. What kind of mind thinks "Oooo, I'd loooooooove to go on Howie's show and take off all my clothes and let him cut me up like a side of cheap beef"?

I guess they get a T-shirt or somethin', though. :eyes:

[bliss_eternal]

18. Sometimes they get plastic surgery.

That was the first Howard Stern show I ever saw. Women were marching in their and snatching off clothes left and right, all to be evaluated for a plastic surgery makeover paid for by the show. Talk about a train wreck!

A few times Robin said, "...could we please try to remember these ARE human beings." Some of it was beyond cruel. I didn't know if I could justify my anger or disgust, as the women opened themselves up for it and willingly participated--just so they could get surgery. I didn't know whether to be mad at Stern's panel or the women...

:shrug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

19. I'd be mad at Stern's people

Maybe Robin in particular. Why would another woman put up with that for so many years? And Robin's smart. But I guess she's well-paid, too. :eyes:

Stern and the other guys... they're just eternal adolescents. In other words, pigs.

The women... I just pity them, if that's where their self-esteem comes from.

[bliss_eternal]

20. Pretty much the conclusion I reached

except Robin. She just confuses me. I'm never sure if she is just acting amused, or if she just has a really perverse sense of humour and is entertained by all of their antics.

The women doing it, you're right--they are sad. The really heartbreaking ones, allow themselves to be picked apart and scrutinized to a disturbing degree, then they weep when they aren't selected for the surgery and BEG to do some humiliating stunt in the studio to earn it.

I was watching the whole time with this range of emotions--but when it got to that point, I had to turn away. It pisses me off that our society has told these women they are nothing without surgery--and that the women believed it.

:puke:

[Oeditpus Rex]

22. I've wondered if Robin isn't way ahead of them

and laughing all the way to the bank and/or appeasing any disgust she may have with her somewhere-up-there lifestyle.

Thing is, she's the only one of the bunch I have any respect for. But I'd have a lot more if she'd just walk the hell out.

The really sad part is, either respect doesn't mean much to some people or they have a rather warped concept of what it is and how to get it.

15. I liked his movie...

But found his radio show (that was aired on cable TV) a bit too juvenile for my tastes to watch more than a few times.

[KitchenWitch]

21. I could not care less

Not a Stern fan!

[lies and propaganda]

23. nope, not at all...

plus, i already have XM a =d wouldnt change for the world; especially with no AAR.

[lovelaureng]

24. I don't care even a little bit. nt
