With today's news that CBS has shit-canned legendary asshead Don Imus for calling the Rutger's women's basketball team "nappy-headed hos," which will soon join our lexicon along with Mel Gibson's "Sugar-tits," it is a happy day for those of us (hey, like us! - ed.) who have never been fans of the radio jackass. Then again, it's also a sad day because free speech is dying. That and we have to talk about Al Sharpton again.
DAMN YOU IMUS!
Yes, Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are back in the news, organizing rallies or some shit so that they can get their publicity out of this, despire Sharpton saying that this has nothing to do with bigotry (yeah right, Al - ed.).
"It's not about taking Imus down," Sharpton said. "It's about lifting decency up."
Right. This is coming from Al Sharpton, who should've done prison time for his involvement in the rape and murder of a girl in the 1960s. Lifting decency up. Sure...
But regardless, we hate to think of all the rap songs that blare out of our uber-white Volvo 850, with the songs' antiheros proudly yelling the word "hos" over and over. Whereas one inconsequential radio personality says it and gets himself into a fucking frying pan.
We're not decrying this obvious racial impropriety. We're merely commenting on how free speech and the first amendment have been flushed down the shitter. Should he have said it? No. Should he be protected in saying it as his opinion by the Bill of Rights? Absolutely.
That said, good riddance Don Imus. We were surprised that your radio studio on your "ranch" was big enough to hold your inflated ego and you idiocy.
