Elliot in the morning fined

[huntr1]

Elliot used to be available online, but isn't anymore. I wish the Junkies were. We get the worlds crapiest radio reception here, so if it ain't on the internet, it ain't on in my office.

Me too, I'm a pro flipper between KML, the junks, Elliott and Howard.

I think Elliott is a gonner but, remember, he actually predicted it last week.

Elliott has been at this a long time:

In the late '80s, Segal and I were part of the crew on John Lander's Q-Morning Zoo show on KKBQ in Houston...

One morning in November '87, Lander, with Smelliot in cahoots, called Segal's mother and said, "This is Dr. James Massey, dean of students at Houston Baptist University. We caught your son flying an 8-foot condom from the campus flagpole. As punishment, we're revoking his scholarship. Either you pay back the $6,500, or we're going to expel him."

Naturally, Segal's mother was upset. But not nearly as upset as the real dean of students and Houston Baptist University... (which) suspended him indefinitely -- for impugning the character of the university.

Maybe it was because the radio bit contained the words "condom" and "Houston Baptist University," oh, about 100 times.

Hey, wait a minute... why did a Jewish guy like Elliott attend a Baptist university?

shock jocks who thrive on teen potty humor bore me, and have for years. I can't understand some people's infatuation with them, just look at Stern, not a funny bone in his body, no talent at all, yet he makes $$$ by saying dirty words on the radio.

Elliott is a big, goofy kid who's fascinated by gross topics, like castration and suicide jumping.

No, Tonio - HE is not fascinated by stupid topics. His LISTENERS are. Elliott isn't the moron - he's the one making money off the morons.

That's a good point. I was thinking that it would be hard to fake the obvious enthusiasm that Elliott shows for those topics.

Of course, I believe we all have a secret fascination for the gross and bizarre, but not all of us choose to indulge it. Long ago I made a pledge not to rubberneck when driving by car accidents. Partly because it's rude and insensitive, and partly because I don't want slow down traffic just to indulge my curiousity. In fact, I try to go as fast as the traffic will allow, often leaving a huge gap between myself and the car behind me.

I wonder if CC will cancel him too now and I wonder if he'll get paid once they do

I hope Elliot's stock portfolio has been doing well. I never cared for their lack of taste or their rambling about stuff that doesn't matter.

The sooner they fire Don&Mike, Ron&Fez, Elliot, Howard, and the rest of those sickos and replace them will conservative political talk shows and faith-based programming, the better we'll all be. And if a little government pressure on corporations is required to do that, so be it.
