The 10/04/07 Show

Howard can’t off anymore on the Danny Bonaduce. Okay, so Jonny Fairplay is someone people love to hate. Big deal. Fred and Artie were absolutely right that this was excessive force. And excessive force is a factor when police determines action. Obviously Danny wasn’t in any danger , he wasn’t surprised by Jonny’s move, or anything. Sure it’s a douche move to make on Jonny’s part, but then again, Danny instigated it by coming on stage. Any reasonable jury would see that. Of course it’s up to the jury to determine what is reasonable, but with the help of the video I think they can come to a quick conclusion. Serving as a juror myself on a criminal case, I know it’s hard to reach a consensus with eleven other jurors, but in this case I think it will be easier. Howard claimed that if anyone on the street jumped on him, he could use any force at his disposal to neural that person. But this is not the same comparison. There was no immediate threat here.

Yet another example of Howard Stern’s xenophobia. While talking about the buttered bagel that Artie ordered, Howard made an Indian accent. I’ve been to the Café Metro on 48th Street. The guys there are Hispanic. Although there are small number of Indians there, it’s mostly Hispanic. Speaking of accents that are way off, Howard shows his lack of knowledge of the world outside the United States in a very typical-American way. Unfortunately this is one of the reasons many outside the U.S. hate us. Howard is a prime example. Not everyone in the Middle East sound Indian. People in India sound like Indian. If you’re going for humor, how about learning to make an Arabic accent, or a Persian accent. Howard sound highly uneducated xenophobe. America is great but there is a world outside the U.S. too. Pick up a book and educate yourself Mr. Educated Liberal. But I guess this is the unfortunate circumstances in this country. Most people living here are absolutely clueless about the rest of the world.
