Cbs has now fired Imus. Will the insanity ever stop. I wonder why BET has never been scrutinized like this. The video content they show and promote uses this "joke" in probably half the videos they promote. It corrupts more minds than anyone is realizing. This is seen as "life in da hood". As long as these "artists" can promote this, it is fine with joe public. When Don Imus uses it as a joke, it's all over.
Just listen to Snoop Dog's comments over this. I wish I had the transcript. If Don Imus was to follow up his statement with snoopy dog's statement, he would have been drawn and quartered. It has something to do with who the real ho's are. Snoopy dog is the ambassador of this filth. Nobody ever questions him because he is black and fron "da hood". Does anyone see a double standard here??
I still see Imus's "joke" as a delivery in bad taste. He didn't mean what he said. It was a horrible wordplay on something that is said everyday in the filth of rap music. I guess as long as your from , or in, "da hood" it's okay.

Tony is a punk rocker
A little note...While playing Ramones today, the song Blitzkrieg Bop came on and I turned it up a bit for my little one who really seemed to be digging the sound. He immediately went to the couch and kept climbing on and jumping off. He makes me so proud!
The Imus "schticky" situation
Watched a Bill Maher interview on MSNBC and he hit the nail right on the head-GET OVER IT! Imus is known for this type of humor, and as bad as his "nappy-headed ho's" sounded, it is no different to his style of schtick. I think people are taking this way to serious. Give the guy a break. He apologized over and over. Just like Howard Stern-if you find it offensive, turn it off.
And now entering into the ring are Sharpton and Jackson. If they can't turn this into a media circus, we're all in trouble. These two are bigots in their own rite, and both have said outrageous things themselves. They both seem like they wait for these types of things and rocket out and jump right on the podium. They make my head spin watching their "schtick".
Don Imus is always putting people down and degrading them. The one key here is that it is not malicious and has always been perceived as his schtick. Not this time. When you are "live" sometimes you say thing when the humor ball is rolling that you wish you didn't. That is what happened here, and his apology is real and should be accepted.
The advertisers that are pulling off are only doing this to sell more in a different way. I mean come on, how ridiculous can you be. If you are a stand up comedian and you say something like this in your show, some laugh, some don't. You either get up and walk out, or you stay because that's what you expect. This is a media circus and the advertisers that are pulling ads are doing so for their own gain and that's all.
I wish they would just forget this and leave the poor man alone. he apologized and that isn't enough. It's a "schtick" that went horribly wrong. But all in all it was just a schtick. If you don't like it or get it, turn the darn channel.
