On a side note, do these online petitions actually accomplish anything? Just curious..

Bob Dumas, host of WDGC's top-rated "Showgram", on Thursday used the term "ghetto" and "low class" to describe Barrino, who is black and had a child out of wedlock.
That seems pretty ghetto and low class to me.

Not really, that is why I emailed the Governor and local mayors. The numbers help though...most online news articles mentioned a total.

Um, what part of "Stereotypes exist because at some point in time they were true, even if they aren't now." did you not understand?

Who? Is he some college football team coach? Another guy that doesn't matter in the Big Picture of things. :roll:

Wait. This isn't the senator that got like a weeks' Probation for running a stop sign and killing a motorcyclist, is it? IF so, kill his ass. :evil: If he's some college guy, then the hell w/you all. Get a life.

I don't listen to the Showgram anymore; I'd rather listen to music on my FM channels. If I want to hear someone talking, I'll listen to AM talk radio.

I knew Madison was on 93.9 now, but I didn't know that Flash had left.

He got Flash canned for continuously raising the bar. Think it had something to do with him riding around 540 naked on the top of a truck.

Odds are, you'll see far more Mexicans than all others combined. Just because it isn't P.C. to say it doesn't make it untrue.

Of course the remarks were ok. What needs to be changed is the response to the remarks. People would have a lot less stress in their lives if they laughed stuff off instead of getting offended. If it was said on Deaf Jam the next night it would have been laughed at. Instead a white guy said it so let us all get offended. As I said a long time ago stereotypes exist for a reason:


If you see a redneck he probably has a nascar sticker on his truck and his wife doesn't have all of her teeth.

If you go to a tourist area the asians will have cameras.

White people really can't dance.

That Mexican you see is most likely illegal.

That black guy you see eating the chicken does have a big dxck.

Uhm... about the bicyclists, I have personally witnessed what happens when car and biker come into contact on a residential street. The result is not a dead motorist, and until you have seen a person laying dead on the ground next to a mangled peice of metal that was a bike after an accident of this nature, you can stfu. seriously.

Please, tell us more of this situation. Did the car run him down? Intentionally run him over?

Or was it the bicyclist not following road rules?

Unless you know you should stfu. Just because the bicyclist ended up dead doesn't mean he was in the right.

He single handedly ran the two best people off the Showtime, Flash and Madison
He advocates bicyclists getting runover or knocked off the road.
He hates blacks, hispanics & non devout Christians(Screaming at anyone who engages in pre-marital sex and calling them a whore on the air, yet ClearChannel continues to worship at his almighty behind. Said that their was going to be alot of hispanics that would drown this weekend simply because they swam in bluejeans.


Bitchin'. How can I buy him a beer?
