I really hope that they keep it the way it is.

Mars: For some reason, Flickr accounts for nearly 30% of my online slacking lately. Sure, you just share photos, but there's a lot of really good photographers on there, and it's very easy to navigate around and see people's photos, their contacts' photos, the photos in photo pools that they belong to, etc. The tagging system is awesome, and you can subscribe to any number of feeds, say, for a person's photos, your contacts,...

You thought you could buy those Adam Sandler movie tickets and never reap the tears. You thought wrong. Every dollar you shelled out what a hollering vote for more More MORE.

Funny, I never saw anything as remotely racist in an Adam Sandler movie.

Lighten up. This is what these shows do. If you don't like it, don't listen.

If the radio station is going to air such trash, isn't it within others' rights to call it out?

No.

So I guess where all just here to inhale the sweet scent of our own righteous indignation.

If calling out racism equals righteous indignation for you, I'm not too sure what else to say. The first amendment protects their speech just as much as our protest, but that's not the issue, and I never (nor did... [more]

Ignoring might be the worst punishment you could give them, if that's what you wanted to do.

If everyone ignored it, do you think that they would have pulled the song, issued an apology, and donated their week's pay? It's rather disingenuous to think that they would have if everyone just ignored it.
posted to MetaFilter by adampsyche at 9:36 AM on January 24, 2005

if people offended by this kind of content didn't make a public fuss, these stations would get far less publicity, and far less listeners and lower ratings, thus the airwaves wouldn't be full of them.

Do you know this? Or are you just saying so? Do you really think that the radio station is going to get any additional listeners by people complaining about it? Those who listen listen already.

I'm arguing that the outrage people are expressing here may actually hurt their own cause, if their cause is ridding the airwaves of this type of programming.

Again, jon, it's been demonstrated that the repealing of the song, the apology, and the donation to the victims was generated out of the protest to the songs. Please stop ignoring that fact.

The basic thrust of my comments was that we should see if this... [more]

Call it what you want to, but hockey with no fighting would suck, and that fighting is often misunderstood. Insert standard deterrence argument here, and follow up with a note that many of the players who fight are friends, it's about as respectful as fighting can get, and that it's part of the game and really not harmful. Sucker punches notwithstanding.

The state isn't persecuting him, is it? Do companies have to have a freedom of expression policy? I'll check my corporate handbook. Whether it was above and beyond is another story.

He expressed a shitty attitude. Whether it was spoken or written, he did so, and they decided to fire him. Do I think it a little heavy handed? Sure, but it's well within that company's rights to fire him and claim insubordination. Do I think that this is the way it should be? Absolutely not,... [more]

Ok. Fine. They can do what they can do within the law. I know that this was in the UK, and I wasn't familiar with their laws. If it was an illegal firing, then that's one thing.

Ok, riddle me this: the weblog part of this is pretty inconsequential, it's just a form of communication. If he had communicated these things in any other way, would it still be an unjustified firing? As in, say, an email that was forwarded, or to a cow orker who repeated it? Why is it being on a weblog such a big deal?

If it's potentially available to millions of people, then maybe he should have done what I and others have learned to do, keep the blog anonymous and don't tell your cow orkers or boss about it. Unless you want them potentially reading it.

Blogging is just communication. With a different scope, but communication nonetheless.
