Total Rockstar Assholes ... Potentiallynew

Look, I get it: You think the band that is playing in front of us is awesome ... I'd like to judge for myself, but you keep screaming in my ear "OH COME ON" when I don't respond to your question "How awesome are these guys?"

America Has Outgrown its Need for Shock Jocksnew
While Don Imus did grab the nation's attention, it wasn't because he "shocked" us. It was because he was cruel, crude, embarrassing and disgusting -- something anyone can do by taking a dump on a puppy.
