Are you sick of HOWARD STERN and his humiliation of men??? |
|
I mean come on, why do I never hear about how Howard exploits men on his show. And for those of you like myself who listens to his show, you know he's got a bunch of regulars on there like Crackhead Bob, Gary the Retard, High Pitch Eric and Beatlejuice who Howard makes fodder of on a regular basis. He's gotten some really dumbass men on there willing to do the most stupid shit in order to be on that show and yet we never ever hear men complaining about this. And btw, every one of those men I mention have disabilities - why aren't we all in an uproar about that. Hell, Stern celebrated Hank the angry drunken dwarf up until Hank's ultimate death due to alcholism.
I post this thread because damnit, I'm tired of people always complaining about how he 'exploits' women (especially since all of those women are willing participants) and yet no one complains about the fact that he regularly exploits men and those with disabilities.
(and btw, if you know me, you know I'm a Stern fan - I'm just tired of the hypocrisy because it's always about the women he 'exploits' like Stern does nothing else ever on that show!

2. The way he makes fun of people with disabilities |
|
and other serious problems is always what I found to be the most offensive and shocking thing about his show. I think its disgusting and its why I don't listen to or enjoy his show.
I takes a special kind of sick fuck to bring a mentally disabled person on the air to laugh at them for a national audience. A lot of people grew up after grade school and learned to have respect and compassion for other people. Not only did Stern remain a child, he magnified it into a form of entertainment. That makes me view Stern as a truly pathetic human being.

4. He gets like that and I turn him off |
|
If anything, the whole point of this thread is the fact that every always rants about what Stern does to women when personally I think he's worse with the men.
However, Stern is awesome when it comes to humiliating the one person I dispise the most - the boy idiot Bush.
I enjoy the show and when I don't I switch station. Pretty easy to do

I totally agree with you. Completely. Any enjoyment I might have gotten from him - after all, I do have a ridiculously sophomoric sense of humor myself - is gone. I find him repulsive because of this.

6. I tuned him out back in the '80s when he was on DC101 |

He did a crank call to an airline shortly after one of its passenger jets had crashed near DC. Not my kind of humor (and I can have a fairly dark sense of humor at times).
