Yeah, more Howard wannabes, that's what we need!  :-D  ::)

The point is not whether or not O&A are hilarious or even worth listening to... the point is that it's become so wildly acceptable to create outrage at radio and censor free speech to this extent.

It doesn't matter if you like O&A or Imus or Howard or any of these hosts.  The continued removal of freedoms in this country *should* be alarming.

This country is a JOKE.  Sun your gonna hate me but O&A are nothing that they were previously.  I still listen but often its just not funny anymore.  Without Anthony and Jimmy the show is gone. 

i don't hate you for having an opinion...but your comment makes no sense to me.  the show is different than it was before they were fired, but i still laugh my ass off most mornings.

This actually hurts the Satelite radio merger they've been trying to get through Congress.

Thats obviously why they suspended them

It had zero chance to go through anyway.

Looks like what was once a bastion for free speech shock jock nuts is now bowing down to the man.

most of the times, suspension = fired later, so we'll see.

all i can do is cancel my XM and move on, which is what i'll do if they get fired.

they are still going to be on CBS, which will be weird.

Right... you want to take bets on how long it takes CBS to follow suit and suspend/fire them?

The merger won't happen until a dem takes office

I don't much like Opie & Anthony's act but suspending them is ridiculous especially on XM.  Christ - have you ever heard some of the stuff on the uncensored comedy channel?  It's much 'worse' than the stuff they got suspended for.

Such sad little hypocrites...

SunMo

this is the clip that got them suspended...

apparently, they weren't supposed to talk about it, did anyway, and boom

Ha - so they got fired for speaking honestly about over-censoring of radio.

ice grillin you

i didnt listen to it....but if what sun says is true and they were warned not to do it then it doesnt matter if they were talking about tulip fields...

if your boss tells you not to talk about something and you do it most likely youre gonna have to pay...if they dont like it they can find another network to carry their show with management that will allow them to talk about whatever they want
i can take a phrase thats rarely heard...flip it....now its a daily word

igy gettin it done like warrick

im the board pharmacist....always one step above yous
