Falcons Fans Are Terrible People

No. Not like that.

You know as well as I do that Bo's speech impediment is not in the same stratosphere as speech being impeded by a deadly, crippling disease. At least I hope you do.

Completely...just trying to make a point myself.

Yep, there's not many outside of Stern and a few others named that would or should survive this.  Howard Stern (as a prime example) is a shock jock.  He holds himself out to be just that and if a station wants to give him a platform and sponsors want to support his show, then so be it.  You know what you're getting if you choose to listen.

This?  Shouldn't be any surprise here except that these guys were dumb enough to even do the bit in the first place.  It blows me away that nobody looked at this thing beforehand and said, "You know what......this might be crossing the line just a weeeee bit."

It's hard to be a good judge of what is acceptable and what is not when you still think you own the place:

I think Chad hit a big point.  Stern's targets came in studio or on by phone and consented to being mocked.  And yeah, if you listen, you consent to whatever BS he might spew.

Are the Saints up to there cheating way's again?

To me it's not a question of if they should be fired or not. The only question is if station management decides they should be fired. It's up to them.

If it were me, then yeah, I'd fire somebody. It crossed the line and was likely offensive to many listeners. From a business perspective, who knows? It seems that the most offensive crap on the air is the most popular. So, it could actually help increase ratings, unfortunately.
