Topic: Anthony from Opie & Anthony fired

[FATSEXY]

The show was kinda interesting, it picked up when The Great Ronnie B showed up.

that twitter ends more careers.

Sure does... The biggest problem here is one of context.  I wouldn't say Anthony is a classic racist by any stretch, but having said that, he absolutely HATES popular black underclass culture, and white underclass culture too, for that matter.  He's hardly alone in that.  Nothing he tweeted was even racist, and I'd suggest that anyone who automatically thinks "black people" when they hear somebody call someone else a savage might be the real racist and the one with the problem.  Plus, Opie said Sirius/XM fired Anthony because they felt the tweets were overtly violent, not racist.

[FATSEXY]

Well, the counterpoint is that he's a famous guy (famous enough to draw heat on Twitter) so he should know that if he posts shit like "they're savages" and "they're not people" immediately after saying "I called her a #*#*# because SHE IS" that it's POSSIBLY going to end in a way he didn't want it to end.


I'm pro Anthony here, but without trying to put a qualification on it. He said some offensive stuff, but he should be allowed to say that stuff and let the marketplace decide (via ratings not via special interest groups threatening Sirius) if it's a firing offense or not.

Anthony starts his own show on August 4th.

Man their whole discussion of the movie Independence Day is one of my favorite radio moments ever.  Patrice was making me piss my pants laughing talking about Will Smith knocking out the alien's outfit and Heebie Kikeberger dad.  Look it up if you can, amazing.

Vos killed this week, and Jim Florentine and Roland talking about "rom coms" was hilarious

[FATSEXY]

Vos has been on fire. I hope they hire him as third chair and make it the Opie & Jim Show.
