Are you kidding me?  This bit about getting the logo on tv is one of the oldest tricks in the book... EVERYTHING in radio is ripped off of somewhere!  Who cares?  

Oh, and hey, while you're down there, say hi to O&A's kneecaps.

Okay...I believe this will make it the 5th time I've had to point this out:

JUST BECAUSE IT'S COMMON DOESNT MAKE IT RIGHT! NOT ONLY IS HE RIPPING THE BIT OFF, HE'S CALLING IT THE EXACT SAME THING! YOU MEAN TO TELL ME SOMEBODY IN MARKET SIX CANT EVEN COME UP WITH A DIFFERENT NAME FOR THE BIT!!!!!!

Jesus Christ...Has everyone in radio become a friggin' robot??

You my friend obviously have not been listening to O&A very long or at all...Norton will say that he sucks...callers will call in and tell him he sucks...O&A will repeatedly remind him that he sucks...I'll bet Norton's mom will tell him he sucks as well.

6th Time The Charm? Ah...NO!

Dude, you need to switch to decaf, and while you're at it, double up on the medication (Tom Cruise be damned!)
Relax. It's just radio, and yes, my naive little buddy, even if you point it out a 6th time, it still won't make it right. Very little of what you hear on radio and see on TV hasn't been done before.
Why not re-direct your misplaced anger and write some original material for your friend, the janitor?

Let me ask you then...

> What do you consider above average radio?

Lately? Nothing, its all the same. I have had XM for i think 5 mos and I havent had the urge to listen to O & A once. I used to enjoy Don And Mike I dunno why. I would love to hear Preston and Steve as I never really had a chance to check em out while I was still in Philly.

Listen Dbag;

Far as I know O&A's phrase was "Assault on the media" wasn't used on Tired 96.5.  It was a 10k dollar scavenger hunt...  And there were 10 ITEMS.... this was ONE OF THEM!  (see below genius)

..........   Items   ..........

ITEM #1: Any official (station produced) item with the Wired 96.5 Logo on it
( eg: keychain, t-shirt, etc ). Homemade items will not qualify.

ITEM #2: A photo of you holding your official Wired 96.5 logo item in front of the Rocky statue (located in front of the Spectrum). Actual photograph not a Photoshop - doctored graphic.

ITEM #3: Rocco The Janitor’s autograph on anything from the Wired 96.5 Custom Car Slam this Saturday (June 18th). It must be an original autograph, not a photocopy… (so go to the car slam and get something signed by Rocco – like a flyer, a head shot, whatever…)

ITEM #4: 965 different signatures of support stating that YOU should win the Wired 96.5 $10,000 Summer Scavenger Hunt. All signatures must be original, from different people, and signed in pen ink (pencil will not be accepted). Photocopies digitally reproduced and/or e-mail signatures will not be accepted. Only 965 signatures will count. ( download and print out our helpful PDF form )

ITEM #5: get the official wired 96.5 logo on any TV broadcast ( local or national news stand-ups, crowd shots, etc.) and have proof of the said broadcast on VHS tape. Homemade wired 96.5 logos will not count.!

ITEM #6: Ticket stub from the first Regular Season Eagles game @ Lincoln Financial Field. (Monday Night Football: 9/8/03 vs Tampa Bay… Birds lost 17-0)

ITEM #7: A VHS video of you (or one of your team members) in your underwear singing “Don’t Cha” in the Eakins Oval fountain (the one right in front of the Phila Museum of Art w/ Geo. Washington on a horse). Only the Eakins Oval fountain will count… we need at least 1 minute of the chorus. (and it MUST be VHS) *Note: There are three fountains there… any one of them will do*

ITEM #8: 96 Pizza boxes. New or used (eeew), from any pizza place… you can mix and match, they can be any size, but they MUST be assembled.

ITEM #9: Bring one (1) pregnant female with you to the Final Judging event (see below for details).
She must be wearing a two-piece swimsuit bikini, not underwear. The person must be over the age of 18 and hold a valid state photo ID from PA, NJ, DE, or have proof of residency in one of those states (a military ID from a local base is okay). One person per contestant. The person must be brought in with you, and must be a human. The person can’t be you it must be someone else. They should have some form of documentation from their doctor that she is pregnant (like a sonogram or a note)

ITEM #10: As many US Pennies from 1965 as you can find. This will be a tie-breaker item…

.......

So do us all a favor, Tom.  Get back on the ADHD Meds, stop jumping around like a maniac, and explain exactly what "exact wording" are you talking about?!  Because right now, you look like a complete moron who has this jealousy thing firing up on all gears.  Oh, and War Of The Worlds looks awful.

I don't know how slow I'm going to have to type:

I am not talking about their gay-ass scavenger hunt thing. I'm talking about something entirely different.

Listen close, tool...

1) O&A promote their "Assault On The Media" (Winter '05)
Listeners are encouraged to get on TV behind on-the-spot reporters and flash XM/O&A logos on screen.

ya still with me?

2) Rocco promotes his "Assault On The Media" (June '05)
Listeners are encouraged to get on TV behind on-the-spot reporters and flash Wired 96.5 logos on screen.

Why are you not comprehending this concept?? Are you mentally inept?

Wait a minute, are you seriously suggesting that Opie and Anthony originated that idea?  It was hardly a new concept in January.

A$$HOLE!!!!!

THE CONCEPT OF "ASSAULT ON THE MEDIA" WORD FOR WORD!!!

Do you honestly think Rocco would've started this campaign had O&A NOT received national exposure by getting that Arthur Chien dude fired???

WTF!
