More Information On what happened At St. Patrick's Cathedral.

Smoking Gun web site | August, 2002

[catonsville]

I thought additional information on the incident was needed. I am against such sleaze and will oppose it when I see it. I am not a " Puritian" because I am appalled at what occurred. I believe actions have consequences ,that the Opie and Anthony's of the world debase the moral currency, and that it is my obligation to show the damage they have caused.

I'm sure they're having second thoughts. They got fired Thursday.

Those slimeballs are too stupid to have a first thought, let alone second thoughts.

You can tell the Boston Beer Company what you think about Mr. Koch by going to the above website.

Thanks for posting the link. They've already heard from me on this. I told them what they already knew--I DON'T need their product.

[07055]

I told them to please tell me that the Smoking Gun article was inaccurate and that they had nothing to do with this sick contest. It will be interesting to see what kind of spin they come up with---they probably just put Carville and Begala on retainer.

Where is the FCC when you need them?

A simple phone call to the owners of the station with a threat to pull their license probably would have been enough to stop this nonsense before it got out of hand.

BTW, these are some sick people. No wonder the country is going down the toliet.

What once was considered too sleazy to see the light of day, now is shouted from a 50,000 watt radio station for the world to hear.

Well, here's something that got my attention: I heard on the news yesterday that these Bozo's have to be paid the remainder of their contracts - some 5 million dollars - even though they've been canned. I guess Infinity was too stupid to include a clause that would get them out from paying under these circumstances.

[aristeides]

There can be implied terms in contracts. If Viacom had integrity, they would make these guys sue for their money.

I heard that they just changed their name.

NEW NAME FOR SAM ADAMS BEER

[Brush_Your_Teeth]

Rumor has it that they have already been picked up by another new york radio station Q 104.

[JZoback]

To: The swill you call beer

Say goodbye to a customer.

Lots of good beers on the market that can figure out how to market beer without supporting morons who insult people of faith.

Your company stepped over the line with the ad hoc approval of this outrageous stunt and now you are going to pay.

Maybe if you get the head bonehead CEO to offer an apology to the people of the Catholic faith, you stock won't drop into the toilet, there your sense of community is.

Another example of the left's utter hatred of religion.

My letter just went out:

Dear Samuel Adams:
Well, you guys really blew it (pardon my vernacular).

Whomever had the bright idea to be part of the latest Opie and Anthony ill-fated fiasco ought to be publicly spanked (how about in the middle of Fanuiel Hall?), but Mr. Koch, you appear the stupidest of all to actually buy into the publicity scheme. Where is your brain? What moral compass were you using?

One can only conclude that there is something in Samuel Adams products that actually causes devolution, and that the brain cells rapidly and exponentially diminish with repeated ingestion of said product.

Therefore I've had my last Sam Adams product of any kind and will advise my family and friends to do the same. It doesn't appear safe to continue do so.

A closing suggestion - perhaps you should put an addendum to the federally required warning label on your alcholic product - "WARNING: with repeated use this product will eat your brain cells and cause the drinker to behave like an animal, possessing no ability to make judgments of any kind."

One more thought - you might adopt a new publicity slogan closer to the truth:
Sam Adams - great beer, stupid company.

[cubreporter]

Isn't it the truth? These things used to be considered by the public as wrong and would not be tolerated. Today it is normal behavior. Yes, no wonder the country is going down the toilet. Children in school learn about everything except what they should so, what can you expect from people anymore?
