Imus in deep shit after on-air remark

Nappy headed hos?!?!

I don't really have a point but put it here in case someone wants to rant about it. I actually found his comment incredibly amusing for some reason even though I know it's wrong

Re: Imus in deep shit after on-air remark

Don't get me started on Imus. I've hated that shit bag for years, he's a woman hating, racist, bigoted fuckball. I've never really liked him but that dropped to hate after the whole incident when MSNBC assigned Contessa Brewer to work with him and he treated her like utter garbage because she wouldn't put up with his and his team's sophomoric bullshit. She finally had enough, called him a "cantankerous old fool" who doesn't know how to relate to "beautiful women."

This mild comment she made to a friend where a gossipist overheard it and reported was enough to cause this flurry the next day from Imus:
Quote:
Imus & Crew immediately lit into Contessa at the start of their morning show, saying traffic tie-ups in New York City were caused by her "BIG BUTT" being stuck in a tunnel and her "FAT ASS" being stuck in the door at Burger King.

"Why didn't she just keep her mouth shut?" Imus demanded. "Why would she bring this on herself? She knows how we are. SHE IS SO PAINFULLY STUPID. That's the reason I got rid of her. I'd ask her to explain a story she had read and she didn't have a clue."

They went on and on about how Contessa was ugly, comparing her to "Miss Piggy," and saying how she looked terrible in the tight outfits she wore.

"I don't think Amy (Robach) or any of those in the back have to worry about HER taking over the Today show."

"She is MSNBC's answer to Candy Crowley," said Bernard, Imus' producer, comparing Contessa to the heavy-set CNN reporter.

Imus: "Why would she want to say anything about me with (Page Six scribe) Richard Johnson sitting near by? She must have been liquored-up. I was trying to keep my big mouth shut. But not anymore."

They called Contessa a "bimbo" with no sense of humor who got her job by winning a hot dog eating contest, that she makes Paris Hilton look like Condaleeza Rice (in intellect), that's she's an "ignorant slut."
Now, the thing is, I KNOW Contessa Brewer. We grew up for years together, she was my sister's best friend. She's stayed in our home, we visited hers. She is
A. NOT stupid in the least bit - She was always damned smart with schoolwork, and she graduated Magna Cum Laude from S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University.

B. NOT fat in any way.


C. Not a skank, slut, or any of the above.

The guy is a complete moron, his sycophantic morning team have the combined IQ of a turnip, and I would agree that he does feel threatened by women, especially those with smarts. And he treats people like shit to make himself feel better. The world would be far better off without this guy.

Re: Imus in deep shit after on-air remark

Hell, I didn't even know Imus was still broadcasting until I saw this story. I can't believe someone in the radio world still thinks Don Imus is relevant enough to employ. Is he still sporting that Richard Marx mullet?

Re: Imus in deep shit after on-air remark

I've seen recent pics of him. He looks like a worn out leather shoe.

long live the freedom to fire asshole talkshow hosts!

i still remember the flak about the greaseman, a local shockjock we used to have here in DC. one year on martin luther king's birthday he said, "kill four more and we can get a whole week off." i believe he got shitcanned almost immediately.

As well he should have been. Just because we have the freedom to say whatever we want doesn't mean we HAVE to say whatever we want. Restraint is a beautiful thing.

I just find that stuff funny.

It makes me laugh, it's out of the ordinary.

Re: Imus in deep shit after on-air remark

He has the freedom to say what he wants, and the masses have the freedom to mock him. Oh, and his bosses have the freedom to tell him, "You'le filed!"

I can use his hair to scrub my pots and pans with.

i actually heard that sort of talk constantly. it just tended to be more in the parking lot of my high school, for instance, and tended to be uttered by dudes in wifebeaters without all their teeth.

Re: Imus in deep shit after on-air remark

Imus show suspended for two weeks

Good enough? Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaah...

But that "nappy headed hos" comment still tickles me for some reason. I can't believe the show wasn't yanked and some technical difficulties thing aired in its place at that point. I'm not sure if the comment is truly amusing or just so shocking that you have no choice but to laugh.
