Yup Tedman is right. The details are at http://www.hiphopmusic.com/. Show is suspended indefinitely. Sprint and McDonalds pulled advertising though the official statement of the former was a little weak. Jackson Hewitt Tax Service also pulled their ads and probably had the strongest statement. Scroll to the second post on that site to see it. What pisses me off still is that, according to the web site, those who called in to support the show were allowed to speak while those who called to denounce it were screened out. Of course that is to be expected and it's not hard to get around that but thousands of listeners I'm sure are getting the false impression that most people still want the show back. It'll be really really interesting to see what happens next. I just hope Miss Info isn't out of a job for putting up a fight with that bitch Miss Jones who verbally attacked her and accused her of thinking she's superior becase she's Asian. That exchange of words was in itself something to protest. I'm also disappointed to see the FCC taking such a long time to come up with a response to all this. Janet flashes a nipple and they're all over that. These imbeciles blast out racial epithets and ridicule the victims of a tragedy 150x the scale of 9/11 in terms of body count and they're still sitting around shuffling paper and asking each other what they should do. Just pathetic.

Keep up the good fight! Hopefully Tash isn't right about Miss Jones just going on a 1 week unpaid vacation. ie refusing to work after being told to give up a week's pay. Now that the issue has hit CNN I think there will be more pressure on the FCC to say/do something, anything!
