4. There's a "news" story on iWon this morning
in which Clear Channel president John Hogan says he's ashamed of Bubba the Love Sponge. I don't know who or what that is, but gosh, isn't that about the most hypocritical statement ever? If he's so ashamed, why was this Bubba character ever on the air? Then we have Bob & Tom (who I'm only assuming are on Clear Channel stations) and other popular morning shows all over the country that are packed with content I find offensive - not to mention stupid. I don't listen because I can't stand the constant forced laughter and sexual innuendo. I find it hard to believe anyone likes Bob & Tom and their ilk, but a lot of people obviously do. So I exercise my right to change the channel and have been doing so for years.

And that's my point: This "shameful" stuff has been on for years, and now here's this man who's undoubtedly become obscenely rich off of it, suddenly saying he's ashamed of it. Ugh! Which is worse? The answer is pretty obvious to me.
