DJ's Fired after fake Britney Death Scare
A Dallas, TX radio station has fired two disc jockeys after sparking panic among Britney Spears fans with a fake report that she was killed in a car crash with boyfriend Justin Timberlake, the radio station said yesterday. Police and fire officials in Los Angeles were deluged with phone calls after the two claimed a source told them Spears was dead and Timberlake, a member of the teen heart-throb band 'N-Sync, was in a coma after the crash in Los Angeles.

It IS true. They DID get fired!

I don't really have a trouble with fake comedy reporting, but this report failed the test. It wasn't funny. If it had said that Britney Spears had been eaten by some kind of giant land cow, or speared by Simon's "spear", then it would have worked.

I don't think that's the part he was referring to...

Let's face it. People like Britney Spears and The Backstreet Boys are exactly the type of thing we need LESS of in the world.
A few months ago my local news at 6:00 team did a little thing on Britney Spears and how it affects the local children. The interviews they aired were.........troubling to say the least. They had an 8 or 9 year girl talking about how sexy Britney is and she also had a closet filled with Britney Spears style clothing. I would give you more, but in all honesty that ws what I remembered the most. That one interview was literally burned into my brain.
Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
Yes. Kids pick up the word "sexy" from Britney Spears. She must burn.
Come on. Dexter's Lab has used the word "sexy". And that show is obviously brilliant.
Besides, Britney preaches remaining a virgin until you get married, which Americans seem to consider a plus.

"Let's face it. People like Britney Spears and The Backstreet Boys are exactly the type of thing we need LESS of in the world."
Yes. They are worse than Hitler.
(I should point out that "Hit me Baby" is a brilliant tune. I quite like "Lucky" as well. And I am cool.)
Posted by MIB (Member # 426) on :
Oh nevermind. Psylaim. You know damn well that that wasn't what I meant. I don't give a shit about the word "sexy" What I was talking about.......Oh to hell with this. You would just blow me off anyways.

You have done well grashopper. In time you learn certain things, some faster than others. So far I've learned that it is futile to argue anything with Omega, or expect an iota of understanding and decency from Liam, try as you may, stupid puns and sarcasm is all you're gonna get. Do what I do, ignore him, he isn't gonna get any nicer just cuz you tell him to
Posted by InFiNiTy is a (Member # 531) on :
And I support anything that takes down pop-music, cuz it is the shit that disgraces this world and makes it crap.

...says the guy with Tupac Shakur as a sigline.
"YEEEEuhhh...ah wanna make a SHOUTout t'allz mah niggaz bak in da Balkan HOOD, yo'! Nort' SYDE fo'EVAH, G!!" :::makes gang sign:::
Ha. I slay me.

Anyone who thinks that Liam is a ticking clock of sarcasm does not know him, or is a very silly person themself.
Posted by Vogon Poet (Member # 393) on :
Well, he's a ticking clock of something, anyway. I'm assuming he did get that my earlier post was a joke (but even if he didn't, he'll still say he knew it was anyway).
Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
It was a masterful pun.
Actually I wasn't really commenting on anyone's post in particular. I was anticipating that the conversation would turn towards either:
1/ Pop music is a disgrace upon our very souls 2/ Pop music makes kids act older than they are, and leads to undersage pregnency, and possibly poker playing.
And to demonstrate that I can be nice, I shall leave the words "You would just blow me off anyways" alone, as a gift.

Ah, fuck it. AOposturing is effed up, anyway.

Am I misreading someting here, or do you have something against rap?
Posted by Shik (Member # 343) on :
Most of it, yes. I also have something against crosscultural diasporic events. But that's neither here nor there.
Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
Who doesn't?
Posted by InFiNiTy is a (Member # 531) on :
I see, well, I am a fan of rap, but I chose Tupac as my quote, because I beleive that he delivers a powerful message about the life in the areas of North America that are not so well off, and of the lives of deprived people. His songs and poetry have inspired thousands of people and given them the will to carry on against all of the difficulties that life has presented them with, but if you find something so totally horrible about that, please, explain your viewpoint so we can all see it.
Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
He's kinda like the Powerpuff Girls then? Or Jesus. Some sort of Powerpuff Jesus rapper?
That'd be cool.
Posted by InFiNiTy is a (Member # 531) on :
Essentially, yes, but I wouldn't have used those exact terms.
Posted by MC Infinity (Member # 531) on :
Well, I still beleive in Tupac, but I found a more interesting sig and I've decided to implement it. Tell me what y'all think
Posted by BlueElectron (Member # 281) on :
I don't think Britney gonna be a virgin that much longer, in a recent interveiw in the "Elle", she said she's probably not gonna "hold out" until the wedding. Mind you, I'm pro-sex before marriage, so I'm just pointing out facts, nothing more.
As for pop music, I think most of them are okey, but there are quite a few we should live without. Trust me, a world would be a much, much more sophisticated place if everyone loves Beethoven.
As for boy band, they should ALL DIE, because they're worst then nerds. I wish there is a word like "FOB" for boy bands.
Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :
I'm sorry, you'll have to try again. I could almost make sense out of that post.
Posted by Nimrod (Member # 205) on :
Well, scientists predict we will run out of vagueness and sarcasm by 2007, the new way will be totally opposite, as we old schoolers will discover. See for yourself, this was in Time Magazine;
---------
Guy on street: Hey you, are your shirt really supposed to look loike that? It's colours have changed totally. Guy with splashed shirt: Yes, my girlfriend threw hot chocolate at me when I dumped her. It really hurt. GoS: Oops, that was strange. I wouldn't have excpected that. Do you have the money you owe me? GwSS: No, she took it all. GoS: Well I don't care what the reason is, give it to me by the end of the week, ok? GwSS: Ok.
---------
See, a normal guy would have gotten his ears blown off with irony, sarcasm and...satire.
Ok, I admit it, I watched "Snatch" yesterday. The prime beef of smartass comments.
Posted by MIB (Member # 426) on :
Think about it. On a far away planet. An alien SETI radio telescope is pointed at our direction. What do they get? Jerry Springer! Britney Spears striping down to the point of being half naked! MTV!!! The minute they saw this they would start a campaign to wipe us out of exsistance so that our influence doesn't reach other species. Of course, I would surrender and offer no resistance. Hell. I'd probably tell them which targets they should hit first!
This shit has to stop............

We must rid the galaxy of the plague that is pop music, talk shows, fundamentalists and Omega Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
But Jerry's good. It's a way of boosting your own self-worth, and it keeps the inbreed trailer-trash of the streets.
Posted by BlueElectron (Member # 281) on :
And man, what's wrong with Britney striping down!
I'm all for it!
strip it, STRIP IT ALREADY!!!!!!!
Posted by MIB (Member # 426) on :
I feel kind of awkward watching a woman strip.......unless it was my wife. If I had one that is.

Posted by MC Infinity (Member # 531) on :
I wouldn't mind seeing Britney strip, she's kinda hot. Evil, because of her involvement with pop-music, but hot nonetheless.
Posted by BlueElectron (Member # 281) on :
Then it's agreed.
We should host a show with either Britney, Sarrah Galler, or Christina Agulara (spelling?) striping down.
^0^

Sarah Michelle Gellar
Christina Aguilera
Posted by MIB (Member # 426) on :
NO! NO STRIPPING!
Posted by Jubilicious (Member # 99) on :
Yes! lots of stripping! I want them all to strip! Posted by Dukhat (Member # 341) on :
MIB: By the time any alien race with advanced enough capabilities picks up Jerry Springer, you'll have long since died.
I hope that makes you feel better.

Not really if the alien race is within 50 or 60 light years from here. Hell. Jerry Springer, so far, was on for what? 10 years? That means anything within 10 light-years from here with the capability to recieve earth transmissions are getting shows about imbred trailer trash. Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
So that includes Alpha Centauri, Wolf 359, and, er, a couple of others.
Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :
Alpha Centauri, Barnard's Star, Wolf 359, Lalande 21185, UV Ceti, Sirius, and Ross 154, in order of closeness. I think.
