| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00  | Here is a article from today's Boston Herald... http://www.bostonherald.com/entertainment/television/wbcn09252001.htm Tuesday, September 25, 2001 Syndicated WBCN (104.1) afternoon DJs Opie and Anthony are focused on their favorite subjects again - women's breasts - and this time they enlisted the unwitting help of the MBTA. On Friday, 250 MBTA buses around Boston began sporting rear signs that read: ``104.1 WBCN, WOW, Opie & Anthony.'' ``WOW'' is an acronym for a longstanding Opie and Anthony promotion well known to their listeners: ``Whip 'em Out Wednesday.'' Women who listen to the Opie and Anthony show are encouraged to expose their breasts to anyone in a vehicle with a WOW sign every Wednesday. But after a call from the Herald, the MBTA has opted to pull all 250 ads as well as 900 similar cards inside the system's buses and subways. ``The ads started running Friday,'' MBTA spokesman Brian Pedro said. ``They were part of a four-week buy for $23,702, with the option to double them after that. ``But we are in the process now of pulling them all,'' he said. The MBTA has a clause in every contract with advertisers that gives it the authority to remove any advertisements it deems to be obscene or profane or denigrating to race or gender. ``Obviously, those ads fall into that category,'' he said. WBCN declined to comment. The MBTA also had received two phone calls and two e-mails from people complaining about the ads. Pedro said the totals are significant since the ads are only a few days old. ``We've tightened up our process for accepting ads,'' he said. ``But unless you were a fan of the (Opie and Anthony) show, you would have never known what the ads were really about.'' Pedro knew enough about Opie and Anthony, however, to realize the MBTA likely will be fodder for today's show. ``I'm sure they'll take great pleasure in all this,'' he said. ``But we gotta do what we gotta do.''

You can't affend anyone anymore. If it was gonna get pulled then WBCN should have made it worth their while (like they would have known it was going to get pulled). Opie and Anthony (quote Jim Norton)'I hope you slip and accidentally malest a child' Afternoons on WBCN 104.1  I hope this is what you wanted I hope this is what you had in mind cause this is what your getting i hope your choking, i hope you choke on this.

| Psychopath Registered: Nov. 00 | here's another article on it from a radio trade site All Access: "WESTWOOD ONE syndicated afternoon team OPIE AND ANTHONY get their "WOW" bus cards on BOSTON-area buses and subways -- and they've been taken down after a newspaper, two phone calls, and two e-mails complained. The cards, promoting the duo's "WHIP 'EM OUT WEDNESDAY" bit and the show's affiliate WBCN/BOSTON, went up FRIDAY, but after the BOSTON HERALD called the MBTA, the transit organization cancelled the four week, $23,702 contract. The cards were pulled under a contract clause giving it the right to pull "obscene or profane" ads or those "denigrating to race or gender." A similar flap greeted the ads when they briefly ran on buses in NEW YORK." Visit our O & A ARCHIVES AIM: SEXBAGEL   A PUNK RAWK TALK SHOW | ||||
