'Listen to me you dirty rat-eater.' Clear Channel DJ to Indian operator
http://www.alternet.org/mediaculture/2005/01/002815.html

But this is just one of several eye-poppingly bigoted statements crammed into a short gag phone call broadcast on a Clear Channel station, Power99 FM (WUSL in Philadelphia). The "caller" (reportedly morning jock "Star"), pretends to be shopping for hair beads he saw in an infomercial.

Then, having reached an operator in India and claiming outrage at the outsourcing of American jobs, the "caller" proceeds to unleash a litany of bigotry so contrived you'd be forgiven for thinking it was actually just a mockery of juvenile talk radio gags (listen to it here):

"Ma'am what the 'F' would you know about an American white girl's hair?"

"listen bitch, don't get slick with the mouth! don't you get slick with me bitch!"

"Listen to me you dirty rat-eater, I'll come out there and choke the 'F' out of you! You're a filthy rat-eater! I'm calling about my American 6-year-old white girl. how dare you outsource my call! Get off the line, bitch!"

Paging Michael Powell, Paging Michael Powell!
