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.

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.

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

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

Dear Samuel Adams,
It is inconceivable to me that any company would sponsor such a morally
reprehensible act as what occurred at St. Patrick's Cathedral. And the fact that your own Jim
Koch, chairman/spokesman, was actually present--and apparently enjoying himself is beyond
any sane conception.
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.
Furthermore I am participating in an online international boycott of your product.
Your only hope of redemption in your Publicly-held brewery is to:
1. FIRE Mr. Koch
2. Immediately issue a apology to every Catholic in the country.
3. Fire everyone in your marketing dept.
Very, very sincerely,
(My name)
Michigan

Now if they only went into an abortion clinic and described an abortion. If people think what a pedophile does to a child is bad, wait till they know what an abortionist does. Great for TV too.

the WNEW-FM hosts Boy..this event is really symptomatic of today's 'anything goes' philosophy.
'BJ'ers in high school hallways are awarded badges of honor these days.
To have WNEW associated with this crap is really disheartening for an old radio fan like me.
I once built a radio in RI so I could pick up WNEW "Eleven three oh in New York" after sunset (even with their 50KW).
William B. Williams, "The Milkman Matinee", Jazzbeau Colins, Ted Brown and EVEN Julius LaRosa...those were the days, my friends.
For those who want a taste of what those days were like try:
WNEW
