I am dead serious. It happened twice. I was not any site in particular when it happened. I was here the first time it happened and I was on some generic site the other. I don't think it was pop up advertisement but it may have been.

When it happened the second time I was thinking it was some sort of clever hack program that was eating my harddrive. So I restarted and my computer was fucked when it finished booting. I tried to open explorrer it just kept running and running without connecting to the internet. Then I tried to open Outlook express and same thing....nothing. So I powered off and on and so far no more belching. Fucking weird stuff. Ever hear anything like that before?

Stern this morning reacted to the news below that the FCC will be issuing a record fine to target his show. He acknowledged that this is indeed the last days of his broadcast since his parent company cannot continue to do business with the government slowing the process of allowing them to purchase new licenses for radio stations due to pending fines. Stern has been known to be chicken little but he seemed pissed off and concerned.

<font size="5">FCC Plans New Round of Indecency Fines Targeting Broadcasters, Stern</font>
Fri Mar 5, 4:05 AM ET

NEW YORK -- Amid a widening and increasingly politicized campaign to clean up the nation's airwaves, regulators are proposing fines against many of the nation's major radio companies for carrying well-known "shock jocks," Federal Communications Commission (news - web sites) officials told The Wall Street Journal.

About a dozen cases are being finalized, these officials said, and one target is Howard Stern, one of the nation's most popular and controversial radio hosts. The FCC (news - web sites) is deciding on penalties against his employer, Viacom Inc. (NYSE:VIA - News)'s Infinity Broadcasting. Also facing further scrutiny are Emmis Communications Inc. and Clear Channel Communications Inc. (NYSE:CCU - News) , the nation's largest radio owner, which last week took Mr. Stern's show off six of its radio stations and fired a controversial -- and oft-fined -- Tampa, Fla., radio host, Todd Clem, known as "Bubba the Love Sponge."

Bowing to public pressure, the agency also plans to reverse its earlier finding that singer Bono's use of a vulgarity on live television during the 2003 Golden Globes broadcast wasn't indecent, possibly as soon as next week, officials said. However, it won't impose what could have been a multimillion- dollar fine against General Electric Co. (NYSE:GE - News)'s NBC network, which carried the event, or its affiliates.

The flurry of new cases is the latest sign of a sweeping federal crackdown on controversial content beamed over television and radio airwaves. Congress has held a spate of hearings in the last two months to decry what some legislators call a "race to the bottom" by broadcasters. While a move to act against questionable material had been under way before, it was ignited by this year's Super Bowl broadcast, in which entertainer Janet Jackson's breast was exposed during the halftime show to the embarrassment of broadcaster CBS, a Viacom unit, its affiliates and the FCC.

Feeding the push is an increasingly charged, and polarized, political atmosphere in which cultural issues such as obscenity and gay marriage have become hot topics as the general election campaign heats up. Lawmakers of both parties have been implicitly and in some cases openly threatening legislative action if regulators don't step up their enforcement of existing decency standards.

You make the call.

i've heard about this, and i've seen clips. i'm not sure what the message is exactly that he's attempting to portray. i also hear that these ads won't be aired in nyc, but are for the rest of the country.

i know i have a biased stance, i hate the guy. i'm scared for the future. but even if you are 100% behind bush, what exactly is showing him and pics of the destroyed trade center going to do?

woohoo look at me i dealt with it? any president would deal with it, what other choice is there?

i just don't really see the motivation behind using this footage, so yeah, it reeks of using tragedy to capitalize politically. but then i only read the post and daily news so what do i know.

opine if you will....

So last night i go to the local subway sandwich shop. I order my sandwich and the little pakistani fellow fixes it up real quick. I go to the register to pay and what do i see? I tip jar. These motherfuckers want a tip for making a stinking sandwich? Is this common in most sandwich i think not.
From now on my business is going to Quizno's.

Why is the past tense of the verb "cum", "came"? Wouldn't it be "cummed"?

Or is "cum" the noun, and "come" is the verb?

Ponderous.

i'll give it 24 hours. if the majority of people hate it, it's gone.

That fucking noise in your sig is driving me crazy. Make it stop.

It fucking sucks and whoever you are, you sucked for changing the other one.

It was the only one that looked semi-professional that would not raise suspicion whilst at work.

You are trying to run me from the board.

Anyone have it? Seen the preview of it on ESPN motion.
