Imus Still in Hot Water

Producers tend not to make off-hand comments on their own. It isn't their show--they are mostly behind the scenes for a reason. Perhaps Imus created the climate for such jokes and kept it going instead of letting it be known that such comments will not be tolerated.

Not a particular good source for complete info on this topic. There is an article out now that discusses how Imus supposedly hired someone to do "N**** jokes."

So he used to be an equal opportunity offender until he went too far with some groups. Not just making fun of PEOPLE/political figures but making jokes that have the potential to target and/or offend groups of people (such as Jews, blacks, some argue even Christians). Those groups have every right to complain. Most didn't, a Christian group/viewers did, and that was their choice. That doesn't stop the ball from rolling for those who did complain.

Anyway, not much discussion is needed from here. MSNBC, CBS, and the corporations have spoken.

Still does not give Al and Jessie Carte Blanch to make accusations and ruin peoples same rights no matter what does it?

They are back stabing idiots who preach
goodness and are phonys!

I am sorry, I like this:



And you can purchase T-shirts >HERE<

I know folks are very sensitive and that's cool. But, there is a reason for everything and a wrinkled up shriveled dicked balleress old dude was NEVER gonna get with any ho, nappy or otherwise...

And that's cool if some luser who cain't cum even with Cialis in the backyard bath wants to bash Athletetic or Black Women. That's the reason his wife left his ass in the first place.

But overall, Imus will be aiight. You all know this was a set up and a plant.

See, sometimes I look like that picture. Actually today when I woke up, my hair looked exactly like that. But if I got that tshirt, it'd be insensitive. I often refer to my own hair as nappy, and I hear it used alot by whites. Never thought it was a bad connotation... just thought that it meant your hair was knotted or messed up.

On everything else.... cum means something different to people. So I'd appreciate you not using that type of language. Oh and "luser" is spelled "loser". You're a scholar. You constantly brag about being one on here, so spell your words right.

side note, Imus's wife is a significantly younger busty blond, if i recall correctly.

Ummm, it looks like she used that word in its usual connotation.

Also, look who's talking, Miss Prejudism.

I am so uninterested in Don Imus and what he said.

I agree with PM's comments, Monet's comments were pretty crass.

If Don Imus wasn't making ookabillion bucks a year, he would still be employed by CBS.

Also, I don't even want to get into the hilarity of Les Moonves getting high and mighty about morals or anything anyone says anytime anywhere.

I believe that they were pretty crass as well. PM, however, hasn't been the best in terms of language and word use either. I was simply calling out hypocrisy.

I am so tired of this story, and I was almost as soon as it came out. Here in NYC, that's seriously all I'm hearing about. Yawn.

And Earp, please put down the bottle. Please?

I was being sarcastic. I don't really care how people write on here. As LoNg As ThEy ArE nOt TyPiNg LiKe ThIs. I just thought it was funny because she's always bragging about being a scholar.

First I know you don't give a damn about me and you could care less what I say or what I want to do. So, claiming to be so pious and examine me to a fault, well, that is silly.

As a result, I tire of some aspects of GC and maybe I have outgrown it here and need to leave. Hey, I have not problem with folks disagreeing with my thoughts. But to be disagreeable to be right. Okay. Whatever. Good Luck With That...

Ya know, this topic is already bad enough, and if that's a real t-shirt, and someone (black or white) wears it in public, it's only going make the problem worse.
