The end of John & Ken?

[calguy]

In the end it could cost the city money. If they pass it, someone will sue, and it'll cost $ just to defend it.

Speaking of Whitney, just heard via Fox News Radio the cause of death was drowning, with heart issues and cocaine contributing:

I doubt that anyone will sue because it is after all just another of the LACC's resolutions which have no legal standing. They are similar to a proclamation declaring a  day in honor of someone or something and are only ceremonial. But it is an example of how the council wastes time. If they were part time like most city councils they wouldn't have so much time on their hands and also they wouldn't have salaries rivaling congress and expensive staffs and palatial office suites.

Yes, apparently a swimming accident.

Anyone notice not a single KFI host talked about this today!!?

[radiojomo]

Bill Maher, Louis CK and a lot of others would apparently have to tape their shows elsewhere.

Louis CK doesn't have a talk show. His scripted show tapes in New York.

Bet no talk show host in LA has the balls to talk about this topic!

Conway and Steckler poked fun at it last Friday, I believe.  "How come they can pass a non-binding resolution telling us how to do our jobs, when the can't do their jobs and fix the pothole that's been in front of my house for a decade?"  Followed by Timmy talking about his move to Burbank.

Half of BET's programming will have to be cancelled and a huge amount of urban music will need to be taken off the playlists.

Really? Please point out specifically which half of BET’s programming would need to be cancelled. To make it easier for you here’s a list of their current programming:

106 & Park
Bobby Jones Gospel
BET Inspiration
Video Gospel
The Family Crews
Sunday Best
The Game
Let's Stay Together
Reed Between the Lines
The Bernie Mac Show
Everybody Hates Chris
My Wife & Kids
The Boondocks
The Wendy Williams Show
BET Awards
BET Honors
Rip the Runway
Spring Bling

More @ http://www.bet.com/shows.html

Next, what huge amount of “urban music” would be taken off playlists? All music is already edited and censored and selected based on content. Funny enough, Clear Channel stations routinely edit words like "ho" out of songs, so CC would be hypocritical to allow J&K to repeatedly utter that word while disallowing it elsewhere.

I’m interested in seeing your response.

They may censor the words, but we know what's being sung. We know the sexist attitude behind the songs. If John and Ken talked like most (NOT ALL) "urban" artists sang, even with the censoring, they wouldn't last a day. Talk about hypocrisy. It's the usual "You're not black, you can't say that but I can" insularity and collectivism.
