ASK GRUMPY???!!!
a call in advice show?

Grumplines. Now on in afternoons.

[McBourbon]

Dear Grumpy:

Are we sending a message to the youth of America that procreation, even in the house of God, is a "dirty" thing? And are we to hold a couple of cringe jocks responsible for the Godless acts of a couple of hicks from Virginia?

[JerseyThunder]

I wonder if that couple had done this in another church, would it have gotten this much press? I think not. Fuck the catholic church.

yet they are an elected force

In fact the no one who sits on the board is elected by anyone nor are they confirmed by congress. They are just put there by whoever is the pres at the time and we become subjuect to what they think we shoud watch and hear. This part of government should be abolished!!

Opie And Anthony Show Cancelled After Sex Stunt In St. Patrick's Cathedral

AUGUST 23RD, 2002

Two popular shock jocks have been pulled off the radio waves.

Gregg Hughes and Anthony Cumia, of WNEW-FM's "Opie and Anthony Show," were fired Thursday by station owner Infinity Broadcasting. The two were taken off the air after sponsoring a stunt which broadcasted a Virginia couple allegedly having sex at the St. Patrick's Cathedral.

The broadcast was part of a regular feature on the show in which couples can win prizes for having sex in risky places.

The show prompted mass criticism from groups like the Catholic League, which filed a formal complaint with the FCC. The pair was pulled off the air Monday, three days after the stunt aired.

"Based on recent events, the Opie and Anthony Show has been canceled," WNEW said in a statement, "and will be replaced by other programming beginning Friday."

Infinity also suspended the station's general manager and program director.

The DJs and the couple now face charges including public lewdness and obscenity. The FCC is also investigating the incident.

Meanwhile, an Opie and Anthony fan website is trying to bring fans of the radio show together for a rally Friday afternoon.

Supporters are being asked to gather near the Brooklyn Diner at 57th Street and 7th Avenue at 3 p.m.

Got this off the NY1 website. Could they be talking about OA.com, or opieandanthony.com?!?

[Ken'sPen]

Could they be talking about OA.com, or opieandanthony.com?!?

call in and ask Grumpy, I am betting the answer will be meat flaps.

[HedCold]

probably foundry

[PollyannaFlower46]

Does this mean the rally will actually get press?

[Buttmunch]

I'm going to the rally in a toga made of WOW stickers.

[Arthur Dent]

I'd say everyone at the rally should have public sex in front of the cameras, but you know it'll just be a sausage fest and that's no good.

[PollyannaFlower46]

They should have anal and say its the only sex the church supports.

[Noellevious]

I got a message about the rally through rf.net, so I think they and oa.com are working in tandem.

[Ken'sPen]

hmmmmmm
I don't think the conversions the church aspires to are the two point anal variety.
