Did
your favorite DJ ever unexpectedly disappear from the airwaves without
a trace? Maybe he said something out of line, possibly a criticism
or off-color sarcastic remark. Maybe they said something like Bryan
Gumbel on the CBS morning show the other day. The epithet in question
happened after a particularly terse interview with Robert Knight of the
Family Research Council who was supporting the Supreme Court's ban on Homosexuals
in the Boy Scouts. At the conclusion of the segment, Gumbel was caught
by cameras, saying the words "what a Fucking Idiot". CBS has refused
to apologize for the remark, since it was not audible, but perfectly understandable
to anyone watching. The latest spin on damage control is that the
remark was meant for Mark McEwen who was bragging about picking the next
survivor to be booted off the island. Well, that's ok, because
everyone hates weathermen anyway.
The
heck with timeout, if you're a kid in Canada, you'd better not step out
of line, or you can be legally spanked by your parent, teacher or guardian.
According to a 105 year old law, it's perfectly legal to use reasonable
force on kids if necessary. A challenge to this law was recently
thrown out of court in Toronto, but the judge in the case said maybe the
time is ripe for a new look at this legally sanctioned abuse. You
think? Oww!! Sorry.
Speaking
of good parenting: (weren't we?) You never know what kind of kooks you'll
come across while on duty as a police officer...even in quiet Fair Lawn,
NJ. On routine patrol, officers saw a car with a license plate that
didn't belong to it. Upon stopping the car, stuffed with six kids
and two adults, the driver attempted to jam a vial of cocaine into an 11
year old boy's shorts. The kids in the car began to scream, kick and fight
when the officers found 17 small bags of heroin and attempted to take the
driver into custody. An adult male passenger gave a false name,
which of course was discovered once he was taken downtown, they've seen
him plenty of times before. The question we have now, is what right
do the cops have putting the squeeze on this family business? |
