Dumb fucks.

DJs Fired After Playing Beheading Tape For Laughs
Portland DJs Played Audio Tape Of Incident
Ever since Howard Stern entered the Portland radio market, it's been a non-stop fucking sleezefest on Portland radio. Don't get me wrong, there's something to be said about the genuine sleeze and over-the-topness that comes from an original like Howard Stern. For chrissakes... I'm a dirtball at times. There are lines you don't cross and if you're so fucking stupid that you take something so universally horrific as the beheading of Nick Berg and laugh about it on the air, then you deserve to be unemployed (like me).

Every morning show in Portland sucks ass. Stern takes the place of a local radio show and suddenly DJ in Portland is looking for homeless people to fuck with. The 'black' radio station in Portland has almost no black DJs, but just a bunch of bad white DJs trying to sound ignorant. Black people should be outraged that the radio station that feeds their demographic has a morning show aimed at a third grade level.

I'm going to do an Irish Car Bomb toasting all Portland radio DJs tonight - Just about all of you are Stern wannabes blindly pushing the envelope of good taste to the point where you're going to get fired eventually and I'd love to piss on your W-2s next year. If you're a local "shock jock," quit reading this and go listen to your Howard Stern tapes so you can figure out what your show is going to consist of tomorrow. Homeless people? Strippers? Get to it! Your show isn't going to write itself, you need Stuttering John to write it for you. I'd love to hear an original thought from one of you Portland FM ass-clowns, but I gave that shit up so I can listen to Clark Howard on the AM radio. Hey, also, since you are called DJs, maybe you should quit telling old jokes and imitating people in New York and, I don't know, SPIN SOME FUCKING DISCS!?!?!?

Get me the number for Phil Hendrie, Howard Stern and Dr. Laura.

Gooch: signing off.

PS: the "comments" thing on this page is cool. Blogger is okay in my book.

Just watched the Berg decapitation video. I literally think I'm going to puke. Fucked up and repugnant; all in one video.

In better news, the one thing I hear more in bed than "I can't believe I slept with you" is "can I have a glass of water." Or beer, or pop, or whatever. With the fridge downstairs and some girls not inclined to drink water from a bathroom tap; I've come up with a solution. I put one of those mini beverage coolers in my bedroom. With a stainless steel door framing a smoked-glass front and a black case, it looks kickass in my room. A cool, dry place to store soda, lunch meat... and condoms!

godfuckingdammit.

Oregonian: Jim Spagg, whose nudity riled state, dies

Jim Spagg Has Passed Away 05/08/04 (jimspagg.com)


Probably one of the nicest, if not most interesting, people you'd ever meet. He was very passionate about his various artistic and political endeavors and one likely found his or herself respecting that, despite what mainstream society thought of those endeavors.

The infamous cable access show, where I got to know him, was merely one of the many avenues of self expression he embraced. He had a few different shows on cable access, but the ones in which he appeared nude catapulted him into becoming the local cultural icon whose popularity peaked in the early nineties. High school kids would have Spagg parties. Adults couldn't turn the channel. He was a poor man's Howard Stern - locally persecuted in much the same manner Stern is today by the FCC. Spagg fought for his right to be on cable access, standing behind the first amendment, and ultimately won. Nudity is an expression of speech in Oregon, and is protected(hence, the exorbitant amount of strip clubs in Portland). Spagg went off the air and later returned fully clothed, doing commentary, interviewing guests, and doing the Happy Feet dance.

Holy moly, Gargonzoli!

Happy Doodles!

Rest in peace James Spagnola.
