Stern's stance on gay bashing

I re-posted this on FB but I just listened to it again, and I feel like it needs to be heard more.

Especially for the Stern haters who don't get or like him but who are for gay rights.

    I KNOW, right??

    I love listening to the interviews on the street when people who don't listen and have no clue talk about what a blight on society he is, meanwhile, he's totally different than what they think.

    I can't WAIT for AGT.

  • Oh man, I want to post this on FB so bad. The language is just a little too much, though.

    Too much for who? It will be offensive to your FB crowd? You can share it from my page and blame it on me.

    Ahh. That makes sense. When he was on regular radio did he even have any play there?

    Is your FB viewable to the public? I can't watch this now so maybe it will change my opinion of him but I doubt it. I just don't find "comedians" whose schtick is shock funny...or shocking for that matter. I'm glad he's anti-gay bashing but he was pretty women bashing when I saw his show. Maybe he's changed.

    I have my stuff on lockdown, but it's a small, small world. Especially here.

    He's never been woman-bashing. And he isn't even "shocking". He just doesn't play it safe and have a show of fluff. Shock Jock is what the haters call him- he'll never escape that name of "shock jock". It's that he was relentlessly pursued by the FCC when other people were able to do whatever. So he pushed the envelope of what was allowed on terrestrial radio. I'm a 25 year listener so I was around for a lot of it. Sure, if you just caught a few minutes of the old show on network tv it could come off as mysoginistic but if you were a longtime listener, you'd know different.

    He has an ex-wife and three daughters from like 21-28. You've never heard his ex-wife or daughters utter a bad word about him. You've never seen them in the media period let alone in doing drugs, sans underwear, doing anything trashy. And if they were, they'd be the first ones in the tabloids because people would love to say- "HA! It's all his fault!". So, I think it's pretty safe to say he's not anti-women.

  • I don't think the shock Jock name was a.mislabel. I think he courted and it and made millions from it. I used to watch him frequently on E. He had stripper contests and frequently instructed the oh so stupid girl guests to get naked and to let him spank them. I'm not sure that qualifies as more than fluff. I think he's probably a good man irl but I think he's savvy enough to know shock sells. I think he's smart. I just don't think he's entertaining.

  • I used to like him until he got divorced and started dating every hot chick he could, because suddenly it was clear that it wasn't just an act.  It was his real, albeit possibly new, personality.
  • He's an ass, exceptionally sexist and I have 0 desire to hear anything he says. This is probably his high point for me but I can't handle his regular noise.
