He's just a smart guy making an absurd nice living telling fart and hick jokes. Who can fault him for that?


I agree, the Larry the Cable Guy act got old about 20 min in, but you can't argue with the fact that he's paid his dues. Same with Dane Cook. It's not like either one of them were over night hits, both of them have been doing comedy for well over 10 years each.

But niether one of them can star in a movie worth a damn. Delta Farce looks like it could be one of the worst films ever made, and not in a good way.

Larry the Cable Guy has never blatantly stolen from a better comic though


You think his jokes are original?

I was so hoping that Norden would call him Dan. I didn't get to listen, though.

Yeah, between this and their CONSTANT talking about Imus, I have been turning them off lately.

I will say that even though I think he's unfunny and its an obvious fake personality, he does get paid. I guess I just hate the people that have latched on to the humor and the 'idea' of Larry the Cable Guy

True. If people buy it, that says more about htem I guess.


Won't matter now, O&A will be fired in a day or two. Bet.

(actually, Anthony pretty much said so on Wackbag)

You serious? From regular radio only I presume since they can say what they want on XM.

Why are they getting fired? too much bitching? Or did they say something?

got this email from wackbag

To The Listeners, Pests, and Members of Wackbag;

We all knew this day would come. The Opie and Anthony Show is threatened by people who want to control what everyone should say. Don Imus was fired for making a bad joke about a sympathetic diverse losing woman's basketball team, JV & Elvis were suspended indefinitely from FreeFM for satire on Asian accents and now some special interest groups will say they are offended to gain publicity and fame for their cause because a homeless person commented on what he would like to do to Condoleezza Rice.

So we should give them what they want but expose them as the hypocritical, anti-free speech and political correctness police that they are when they come out of their hiding spots. Also, preemptively, we should contact Opie and Anthony’s bosses and people of the companies why they should stand with them and have a backbone for a change. People only write letters when they are told things are offensive and the silent majority loses when they remain silent. These special interest groups who claim to know better think everything should be nice and not be made fun of. But sometimes humor that might offend is refreshing.

So to prevent only the minority from ruling the majority please write, email and call these people. Remind them it is important that a corporation would stand-up for the users of their product and not succumb to the demands of people who do not. You have enjoyed The Opie and Anthony show and now they need our help>>

No apologizes for people that do not listen or do not want The Opie and Anthony Show to continue speaking out.

Washington-based XM condemned the remarks.

"We deplore the comments made on Wednesday's 'Opie & Anthony Show,' " XM spokesman Nathaniel Brown told The Associated Press on Friday. He would not say whether XM planned to take disciplinary action.


are they f-ing kidding me?
i thought that was the purpose of it being a PAY radio station
that'd be like HBO saying they were offended by content on The Sopranos

TV is fiction, but anything on radio MUST BE real.

Dumbasses

Thank you to everyone who has e-mailed so far, but PLEASE - DO NOT E-mail any CBS
officials anymore!

That is actually hurting the cause, as many CBS officials were not aware of the
situation until they got 1000's of e-mail from us!

For more information on what you can do to help visit
http://peopleagainstcensorship.org/ Or check out any of the OnA Fan-sites listed on
http://www.opieandanthony.com.

Thank you very much!

I didn't hear just what the homeless guy said, but I listen to Rhyme on XM, it's all classic hip hop, and I don't think it can get much worse than Too Short's Freaky Stories. And if it is, then I'm fascinated.

I think I'm with you there, paccy. They've been talking about how bad their show is doing in the ratings - and while I don't believe they could have staged this (although I believe Opie would later claim to have), I can see them letting it happen just to remind people they exist.

I haven't paid much attention to them in a while - I like the show when I listen, but it's hardly the "can't miss" show it was back in the day.

The freeFM portion of the show is suck most of the time. I pop it on when I get in the car, but I'm frequently unamused, I find my self checking out more Bob Edwards or the MLB channel. I know Norton loves Ozzy, but ozzy sucks on the radio, I couldn't listen to him talk this morning. The XM show is still funny sometimes, I love it when Burr is on, he's probably one of the funniest comics out there right now, but I agree with the rest of yous the show just ain't that good anymore.
