would U prefer - wake up in the AM having beaten a woman or had gay sex

[Behind the Aegis]

NO, this is not a poll I was involved in, it was on a local, Oklahoma station radio show. The email I received has asked for a call to action. Whether you are in Oklahoma or not, please read, and if able react! Contact info is included. Of course this a Clear Channel station! :eyes:

Here is the email (I think I am allowed to copy an entire email...if not, mods, please make needed corrections):

This note is a call to action!

We need your help today. It has come to the attention of the RRDP that Mo on 97.5 The Buzz is promoting violence against women. On June 29th his show asked callers to call in and describe which they would prefer - waking up in the morning having beaten a woman or had gay sex. The show went downhill from there with callers stating all sorts of inflammatory statements against women.

For example, one caller stated that he would "rather beat a woman than be a woman." Another caller had an eloquent answer: "Well, I choose beat a woman because I can think of reasons to beat a woman, and I couldn't think of a reason to have gay sex." For more examples, listen to Mo's demo at DJ's demo.

This is but one example of the extremely hateful comments Mo had made against women and the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual community on his weekday morning show. If this inflames your righteous indignation come demand a change at noon on July 8, 2005 on the grass on the north side of 50 Penn Place, Oklahoma City. We are asking for a sincere on-air apology for "The Buzz" every hour for 24 hours, as well as a verbal commitment not to make such statements in the future. The station must show their support of the programs in our community that fight the violence that Mo has promoted, by donating at least a $1,000 to the Oklahoma City YWCA to help them fight against domestic abuse and sexual assault..

Spread the word! In the coming days you can go to our website and sign the petition calling for changes at "The Buzz" and find email addresses where you can send emails expressing you unhappiness with this type of disrespect for women. "The Buzz" is owned by Clear Channel Communications, Inc. You can visit their website and find officers of the company at Clear Channel Communications Inc.

Don't delay in sending your messages of outrage to the officers of Clear Channel and join us on July 8th to protest this unsavory behavior of DJ - Mo!

Red River Democracy Project appreciates your continued support of our programs. We are updating the website and working to support the issues important of you. Please email us with your suggestions of issues that we should address. Red River can continue their grassroots work with the support of progressives like yourself. {Took out donation request}

Thanks for any help!

1. WTF????

So they'd chose VIOLENCE over SEX????

Not me. No way. I'd happily MAKE MYSELF have lots and lots of sex with Angelina Jolie even though I'm straight, I'd SACRIFICE myself that way instead of beating someone up.

[progmom]

2. .

:rofl:

hey bouncy: :yourock:

[Not_Giving_Up]

3. I concur n/t

[Bouncy Ball]

8. Hey I'd even make myself do it with her as LONG as I had to, too.

Isn't that great of me?

No charge!

[progmom]

14. Bouncy?

I love you more every day! :hi:

[Bouncy Ball]

15. Hey right back atcha doll!

I'd charge you, though.

JUST KIDDING!!!!! Hey you, me, and Angelina Jolie. That rhymes. We'll get our husbands to do some still shots.

[progmom]

21. LOL!

:rofl:

[Rabrrrrrr]

27. And I'm not even a lesbian, and I'd do her!!!

[progmom]

29. and i'm not even a lesbian and i would do

...Rabrrrrrr! :P


(did i say that out loud?)

[Rabrrrrrr]

30. LOL!

Your heart couldn't take it, ma'am.

:P

[Bouncy Ball]

37. BACK UP LADY.

GET IN LINE.

[progmom]

41. it's your tricky left vs my powerful jab

in the Rabrrrrrr match!!!!!

[Bouncy Ball]

42. It's a SNEAKY left HOOK.

Not just a tricky left.

And it'll getcha. Ohhhh it'll getcha.

What do you say we jello wrestle for the right to rabrrrrrr him first?

I'm being nice, since technically I should be allowed to go first anyway.

[progmom]

44. sure thing

should we invite anyone else? you know...since the jello is all made and everything....

[Bouncy Ball]

47. Heck yeah, invite the lounge lizards.

Still photography only, please. Keep the flash out of our eyes so we can concentrate on pummeling each other so we can determine who gets to get funky with Rabrrrrrr first.

We COULD sell tickets, raise some money....hmmmmmm.....and what color of jello? Not red, too gory.

[progmom]

50. lime?

Do you look good in green? It brings out the color of my eyes.

:bounce:

[Bouncy Ball]

58. I look good in anything, babee.

[Rabrrrrrr]

59. I think you should both do it naked

I mean, just sayin', you know?

[progmom]

61. yeah - you would say that wouldn't you!

:evilgrin:

[derby378]

52. How about blue?

To match the inevitable humor, ya know.

[derby378]

33. Careful...

Too many guys might want proof of your sacrifice on DVD. :P

[XemaSab]

79. I knowit

I might even be willing to sacrife myself for a non-Angelina babe if you really put me to it. It would be tough, but I'd persevere.

[Rabrrrrrr]

4. Jeez, it implies that beating a woman is as bad as having gay sex,

and we all know that's impossible. Wife beating is Biblical. Gay sex is something that only Satanic people do, or, Promise Keepers, but that's not really gay sex, that's just male Christian bonding, youknowwhatimean?

[Guy Fawkes]

5. So, of course everyone decided to beat up women...

:wtf:

[Bouncy Ball]

6. As a woman, can I just say how scary I find it that so many men

said they'd rather beat me than have sex with another man?

:scared:

I just asked my husband what he'd do if he HAD to either beat me or have sex with a man and he said "sex with a man, I'd never beat you."

There ARE normal, rational men out there.

[Rabrrrrrr]

9. You know what it really means, though, right?

That all those guys would REALLY like to fuck another guy, would like to fuck his living brains out, but they're so insecure in their manhood that they have to call into a station to say that they'd beat a woman.

[Bouncy Ball]

12. Wow, I hadn't thought of it that way.

Guys who wouldn't choose to beat a woman wouldn't bother calling in because they are probably ok with their sexuality to begin with.

Good call, Rabrrrrrr. You make entirely too much sense, you know that?

[Rabrrrrrr]

23. Well, according to mensa, I AM a fuckin' genius

:-)

Though my genius is as nothing, it is like a bowl of shit left out on an unairconditioned bus in Arizona, like a wad of chewing gum stuck to the ass of Rush Limbaugh while he fires explosive pain-killer-driven diarrhea into a toilet in the men's room of an underground sadomasochist sex club for old balding fat drug-addicted republicans who believe in family values, compared to your beauty and charm. :-)

[Richard Steele]

25. You should choose a different metaphor...

...because
" a bowl of shit left out on an unairconditioned bus in Arizona"
would actually be AMAZINGLY POWERFUL very quickly.

[Bouncy Ball]

39. What?

Yeah, right!

According to Mensa, I am, too! Hey!

But meh. I don't put a lot of stock in IQ scores. I'm more interested in what people DO with the shit between their ears.

You have such a silver tongue. You bad boy.

:evilgrin:

[Rabrrrrrr]

43. That ain't silver, baby

it's astro-glide!

:woot:

I don't put stock in the IQ scores, either. Though, if I had to choose, I'd rather converse with a high IQ person with no common sense, then an ignorant slackjawed troglodyte with a lot of common sense but who can't comprehend much beyond their john deere and doesn't think much of the world outside of their county.

That is, a gaptoothed baseball-hat-wearing put both arms on the table when eating provincial putz. You know, a moron.

:P

God, I'm such an elitist bastard sometimes.

But some of us, like you and I, with the high IQs, ALSO have common sense and an ability to go beyond mere retention of facts and pattern recognition, and actually understand the world and vote democratic.

[Bouncy Ball]

56. My best friend has an incredibly high IQ and tons of common sense.

I used to think it was impossible to find that in a person.

She can lecture on physics, design a building, and change the oil in her car. Survive a street fight, then decide to go to medical school.

One of those people you don't meet too often.

Guess what--she's a Democrat. She doesn't even understand why she wouldn't be. Can you tell I adore her?

But yeah, I kind of like people with high IQs and not much common sense as LONG as they aren't arrogant. Because that combination (high IQ, low common sense, NO arrogance) ends up being more humorous than anything else.

:blush: You've never seen me try to put an ink cartridge in a printer. When a coworker saw me do it a couple of years ago, she wet her pants. No, seriously, she wet herself. Good thing it was after school and she could go home and change. The sight of her laughing so hard she couldn't breathe while holding her crotch and hopping around my classroom (no kids around, thank God) and I'm just wondering what the fuck her deal is and why that thingie won't stop moving back and forth and finally I aimed and GOT IT!

She also told me what the recirculation button was for on my ac in the car. I had NO idea. She asked why I never tried it and I said I was afraid to, didn't know what it was for. She said why not try? I said, hey it could be an eject button, you never know. But I was thrilled at how cold the ac was after that! I use it all the time now.

I try not to be elitist because it just comes off as uber-bitchy on me, but somehow you make it cute. Just how the FUCK do you do that?

[progmom]

60. that's me

i have the high IQ, but I gots a common sense deficiency.

:dunce:

[Rabrrrrrr]

31. And when I say that, I don't mean to imply they are gay - that would

imply a level of self-awareness beyond using the brain stem, whih would be impossible for them, and would be an insult to the men who actually are gay.

I imply only that they actually hate women so much, and so filled with self-referential thinking and absorption, that they want to have sex with men because it's like having sex with themselves.

[physioex]

7. Well if the "woman" was Ann Coulter.......

Hmmmmmm.... ;)

[Thor_MN]

17. Well, I think Ann qualifies as gay sex, rather than the "beat up a woman"

but that's just my opinion.

[Rabrrrrrr]

28. Actually, beating her up is classified, according to the Judiciary,

as "compacting recyclables".

[Lilith Velkor]

70. Beat up Ann Coulter, or gay sex w/Tom Cruise?

Now that would be a funny Lounge poll.

[physioex]

73. Well...

Now that would really confuse our gay DU group. :) Just my personal suspisons, but I suspect that Tom is already gay......

[Lilith Velkor]

78. That's not the point

Gay or not, he's a freak. I mean, I'd have sex with him, but I wouldn't give him my phone number or anything, 'cause I don't want to join no goddam cult.

It might be more satisfying to give Ann a solid whuppin'. I dunno, I guess it depends on whether I'm more grumpy than horny that day, and how much money is involved :shrug:

[LynzM]

10. Outrageous and disgusting

I cannot believe that anyone would choose perpetuating violence against another person over sex with another person. Though in some cases sex is violence, but that's a whole 'nother question. The fact that they asked the question is bad enough, the perpetuation of homophobia is awful, and the answers are downright scary. Wow.

[donheld]

11. Had gay sex

but then as a gay man what do you expect.

[evlbstrd]

13. I'd just sleep in.

So, they hate women and gays. Who's left? Farm animals.

[BiggJawn]

16. I think contacting their advertisers would do more than...

...getting together on the grass wherever..

Believe me, after about the 50th sponsor calls "The BUZZ"'s version of Herb Tarlek and pulls their account, you better BELIEVE "Mo" will more than apologetic.

Gathering on the grass to make speeches and oh, I dunno, maybe sing "Kumbaya" won't do shit but give FREE PUBLICITY to the station. and if somebody gets overheated and makes noises about chopping the tower down, hey, so much the better.

But let that "Account VP"'s phone start smoking on his desk....You'll get everything you want that way.

When a Clear Channel "Morning Zoo" ran a schtick calling for running cyclists off the road, Bicycle Advocacy groups didn't waste their time with protests, they talked to Clear Channel's NATIONAL accounts. The Schtick was apologised for and the asshole responsible is now doin' late-night local talk in Boise, Idaho.

That's how this business goes....

[Behind the Aegis]

22. Great Idea!

I will pass that on! You will be given credit! :)

[Kathy in Cambridge]

24. You're right-hit them in the money belt

it worked with campaigns against Sinclair.

[youthere]

32. Herb Tarlek! ROFL!

Hadn't heard of Herb since that show went off the air! 500 points for an obscure WKRP reference!
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[BiggJawn]

48. "You and me, Jenny-Poo..."

"Are those dogs barking on that record?"
"Do you want to hear dogs barking?"

"This tape represents where WALLS will be someday, Andy!"

"With God as my witness, Herb, I could have SWORN turkeys could fly!"

[WCGreen]

76. Beat me to the punch, no pun intended...

Hit em where the money goes.....

[Behind the Aegis]

18. Dazed and Confused

I have no idea why a mod felt this should be in the Lounge, but whatever. I can't believe shit like this is allowed on the airwaves! All those people worried about their kiddie seeing a black woman's tittie, yet something like this wouldn't be considered "over the top?!" I know, I know...how many kids listen to the radio, but still...the fact that this was a poll and people called in responding they'd rather have beaten a woman than engaged in consensual (and hot) gay sex is foul!

[Iris]

35. Wait - Why IS this in the lounge? It should be in General Discussion.

People in the lounge will think it's something else entirely and the poster is trying to get people to sign a petition.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

45. I agree-definitely too serious and abhorrent for the Lounge

[Bouncy Ball]

65. It WAS originally in GD and got moved here.

[johnnie]

19. So they are equating the two options?

Or it is either a homophobic decision or belittling domestic violence. This is a fucked up question.

[eyepaddle]

20. Wow, that's flat out moranic.

However, I should ask the question, beaten a woman at what? Checkers? Cribbage? Darts? :shrug:


Back to being serious now; that is pathetic.

[peekaloo]

26. sickening.......post #9 nails it!

[DS1]

34. Rabrrrrrr has a way of doing that

It's why I like him :-)

[Rabrrrrrr]

38. You're not planning on raping me now, are you?

:evilgrin:

[DS1]

Pillow-meet punch

Or something.

Rook to E4

[Bouncy Ball]

40. MAN SEX?

CAN I WATCH?

[Rabrrrrrr]

51. Only if you, uh, oooh, gosh, how do I say this, I have a suit for you, and

......and....well, I mean, ooooh I'm so embarrassed, but if you were to, you know, this suit, and you, and then, and, um, in the SAME room, right, where we're...sorta....ummmmmmm............i mean, together, you know, with each other and you're there and I'm there and he's there and the *suit* is there, right...you know, and, well, so, we're ALL there, right, just us and you and the *suit*, and the thing....and, uh, I mean, it's nice and everything, don't get me wrong, it's just......difficult.............. to uh, and......ummmm... ...... I've put it in the closet, so it . . . . well, so it's.... so it's..... so it's..... ooooooooh, you know, ready, and ..... uh......










here.....

[Bouncy Ball]

62. I hadn't scrolled down and didn't see that coming.

Which caused a 10 year old a lot of consternation. "Momma, ARE YOU OK!!! HOLD YOUR HANDS UP!" (She beats me on the back.)

"What is that picture on your screen? What is that man doing?"

Nothing, nevermind, thanks for saving my life, run along now, make Mommy a martini, that's a dear.

[Rabrrrrrr]

80. Bwuhahahahahaha!!

Your daughter too much cool. She have plenty good attitude.

YAY Bouncy Ball young girl child.

Does she make a good Martini?

[Deja Q]

36. And yet people think that *I* am bizarre?!

[madinmaryland]

46. Beat up a woman, or SO?

:wtf:

WTF is wrong with this society? That is just sick.

Goddam society just wants violence.

The whole premise is just absurd.

NO VIOLENCE!

:grr:

[elshiva]

49. Gay Sex is Good! What a bunch of morans!

[BikeWriter]

53. Oh, what stupid fucks some people are!

[jonnyblitz]

54. I wonder what the right wing homophobic women listeners were

thinking about all of this. I wonder if they were agreeing..

[progmom]

55. interesting question

i hate to think of the answer. x(

[Rabrrrrrr]

57. "My pastor says it's my Christian duty to let my Godly Husband, the head

of the household, beat me up if the alternative is him having gay sex with some black man, and that's a duty I'm happy to do to keep my husband from committing the sin of fraternizing with a minority; I mean, having gay sex."

[Bouncy Ball]

66. Screw that.

No pun intended.

[crispini]

69. OMG, I know the OP is serious,

but this is the funniest freakin thread EVER!!!!! :rofl:

[Initech]

71. I can sum this up in three words: FINE CLEAR CHANNEL

Forget the DJ, Clear Channel should be fined as much as CBS got fined for the Janet Jackson fiasco.

[NMMNG]

72. Freaking outrageous!

I sent e-mails to Clear Channel's Chairman of the Board, President/CEO and VP/CFO. Let's see if any action gets taken.


This sort of crap really pisses me off! :mad:

[SarahB]

74. Can I...

have sex with another women and then tickle a man really hard afterwards (perhaps spanking him ever so gently)? That sounds like a much more fun alternative. :woohoo:

[WCGreen]

77. Sign me up....

[ForrestGump]

75. I'd prefer "wake up in the AM having beaten a gay or had woman sex"

Because I don't want to beat up a gay person and that'd pretty much free me up to have woman sex.

[Momgonepostal]

81. nevermind...
