I listen to Stern daily. The point is, it bothers HIM that other people can be successful without resorting to gutter humor. He says they're too bland, and milk toast. IMO, it takes more smarts to get laughs without the potty mouth, and he knows it, too. The only reason that's even funny, is because it's somewhat forbidden.Originally posted by: Red Dawn
What's the problem with his so called Blue Material? Does it offend you? Why not just change the channel or would you prefer the Government to make that decision for you?Originally posted by: Ornery
Sometimes Howard strikes me as quite an ass. It seems to bother him that people like Jerry Seinfeld and Jay Leno can make it big without the blue humor. You take that away from Stern, and half his material is gone. If other people can entertain successfully within established boundaries, why can't he?

Remove "penis", "boobs", and "lesbian" from his act and he's a mute. Yeah, great talent.
Wrong. I have. And that's why I know the extent of his act, which is limited to bathroom humor and related thoughts.You have obviously never really listened to him.
Is that the best argument one can make for Stern? OK. You win. He's more popular than I am.What have you ever accomplished artistically?

Opie and Dopey and all those other Morning Jocks owe their careers to Howard.Originally posted by: Don_Vito

You are flat wrong about his show, and I have been a daily listener for years.
I didn't intend to ask about popularity, but literally about artistic accomplishment - Howard really revolutionized broadcasting, and you are totally dismissing him. IMO he is a tremendous talent, and deserves at least some respect for that.

Nope.
For some reason the easily amused apparently aren't tired of his having ho's on flashing their boobs and ass either.
His following is just one indication of the lack of intelligence in the USA anyway.
And your post is another indication.

Because - wait for it . . . he's funny! There is nothing wrong with lowbrow, which is why his audience includes doctors, lawyers, politicians, and other educated professionals.

I don't see how Howard could be so targeted, but Jerry Springer has been unquestioned for years. People see his show, just shake their head, and move on.
As much as I hate Howard Stern, his name alone should tell people that if they don't want to hear things that might burn virgin ears they should turn the station. Personally, I'd like to see Howard Stern out on the street begging for change, but I don't think censoring him is the fair way to see that happen.
