i fully agree with this assessment.  he is getting a bit redundant but i
think there is a certain pressure associated with his recent popularity.
the stuff that he's doing is known to work and while his (hard core) fans
love to hear it he probably feels the need to keep delivering it.

i think that stern tries to cultivate an image that he is the *really*
honest person on the air so that people should listen to him.  this is bogus
because stern is really just telling people what he thinks they want to hear.
for example, stern likes to talk about how he would love his wife to get into
a lesbian situation but she won't do it.  i don't believe that crap for a
minute, i think that off the air this reagan-bush republican is probably a
very traditional family man who would not really go for alternative sex, etc.
yet idiot listeners hear this stuff and act on it.  like this bozo who appeared
on his tv show with his wife and a woman who had engaged in lesbian sex with
his wife while the husband watched.  as i watched this i thought, what losers
these people are to be willing to do anything to get on television.  note that
i am *not* calling stern a loser...he just makes his living off them.

However, after speaking with that guy Howard did say something like: anyone
who gets arrested (or whatever) mention Howard Stern on the news and you'll
get treated like this guy.  The reason the guy got the playmate and the

Howard is not doing anything except getting some free press from lifeless
people... besides, I like the fact that I don't have to watch L. King more
than once to hear this (It _is_ funny the first 25 or 26 times)

I managed to listen to the radio show from 7:15am-8:45am EST on
Sept. 14.

Anyway, the Philly zookeepers(John Debella ?) wife(from what i gathered, 
they are still in the process of getting a divorce) was playing
dial-a-date with the listeners. Capt' Jenks was one of the
players. I guess the other listeners were from Philadelphia.
Howard did his usual rag on the zookeeper and his usual
sex-talk with the zookeepers wife(Annette).

I wonder how long it will be until the zookeeper gets out of
Philly.

He has said many times that he could care less what anyone does to 
themselves (taking drugs, etc) as long as they don't hurt anyone.
He says: Let the drug addicts kill themselves, what do I care?  He 
also flirts with the idea of legalizing drugs.

I doubt people are flocking to hear the show just because he is honest.
BUT... the facts are he IS more "honest" that anyone else I have ever

I'm glad you said this.  See later...

If you are offended by Stern making light of misfortune, you really shouldn't
be listening (or reading this group), because he has always done this, and
always will.

What do you mean 'unduly'?  It is never necessary to make a joke
at all, and as you said earlier, each individual has to make up his/her
mind about the taste of a joke.  Most jokes are bound to offend *some*
people, but we can't stop telling jokes because of this.

I'll bet other people *do* find this in bad taste.  Also, it is
certainly true that the zookeeper's wife set herself up for anything
that was coming, and the zookeeper is a public figure.

Vulnerable to what?  Not all children are innocent, either, and certainly

If MTV behaves like MTV always behaves, they will be broadcasting the

this statement is, of course, coming from someone who has never seen joe's
show.  joe has, however, gotten national attention.  some of his work has
appeared on the pbs series "point of view".  in addition, he was been written
about in the philadelphia newspaper (he talked about this on one of his shows,
and yes morons, he did show a copy of the article).  furthermore, he was on
the jenny jones show a few months ago (does anyone have it on tape?  i missed
the show).

"this week in joe's basement" appears on chicago public access and apparently
has a reasonable audience.  the show originally aired at 11:30pm monday nights
but was moved to 10:00pm because people wrote in (and called during viewer
call-in shows) saying that 11:30 was too late.  the show is a total amateur
effort in that the people have jobs and do twjb in their spare time.  given this,
the quality of the show is *outstanding*.  1 advantage that joe has in his
tv show over howard is that being on public access, joe can pretty well do
shows about anything he wants and does not have to censor expletives.  howard
on the other hand has to contend with sponsors and gimmicks (which are starting
to get a bit redundant) to get ratings.

There isn't a Fartman movie...Right now, it is merely a twinkle in
Howard Stern's eye.  Apparently, the title "The Adventures of Fartman"
is not even set in stone.  But to get to the point, Fartman is a
character that Howard Stern plays on his radio show/T.V. show.  If you
watch MTV sometime this week, you might catch the MTV Video Awards with
Fartman as one of the presenters of the "Best Hard Rock Video" Award.

I have never made a connection between Powdered Toast Man and Fartman.
It still doesn't really seem like there are enough similarities to
consider that the creation of one influenced the creation of the other.
Also, I would have to guess, but I bet that Fartman has been a Stern
character longer than Powdered Toast Man has been around.  Actually, he
was only on a short segment in one of the original 6 Ren and Stimpy
cartoons.
