<font color=purple>Well, well, well, Infinity, in their infinite stupidity, has sent the Ron & Fez show packing from New York City and I haven't seen this stupid a move around here since the Indians sold Manhattan island for $24.00 and a casino to be named later.
But what really crushes my boxes is the cold hearted way these bastards went about it.
Ron and Fez put their heart and soul into making something out of the nothingness which is WNEW and Sinfinity Broadcasting treated them like they were some poor drunk girl passed out in the backseat of Billy Staples' car. If they were gonna fuck 'em like this, the least they could've done was buy them some $41.00 burgers first. Hold the onions, and extra oreos, please.
But I guess that's just the way it is in corporate America. A world where talent and creativity are buried way below the bottom line.
Our buddays put in 8 hour shifts and did all that was asked of them, never once complaining or giving anything less than 100%, but in the end we all got John Syked out by a company that syndicates a no talent assholes like Tom Leykis, yet treats their most innovative and entertaining commodity like an asshole's by-product.
SHIT... that just sucks. It's wrong. And I'm pissed.
But you know, this whole thing reminds me of growing up in Pinellaaaaas Paaaaark Floridaaaaa, where MOTHER would often discuss radio trends out in the barn with our handy man named Bobo.
I remember one time Mother kept asking Bobo to give her 10 in a row, but he kept insisting that it was only gonna be a 2 for Tuesday unless he got to push in her dump button. She must've agreed, because the next thing I heard was Van Halen's Talk About Love and what sounded like the Sweet Melissa moan-of-the-day, which was wierd because this was 1978.
Wait a minute, mamma was making her own Lovelines - *sigh* - but anywho... Infinity you may have moved our boys down I-95 a bit, but we'll all be listening to them on the information super highway, with you losing valuable ad revenue in the process.
And while we may not be hearing whatever pre-fabricated junk you decide to pollute the airwaves with on 102.7, rest assured you haven't heard the last of us. We will keep writing letters by the mailbag full, only this time they'll be going to your bosses at Viacom and all the advertisers whose goods and services we USED to support.
Trust me, we will win in the end.
Because we're here, we're queer, we will not disappear. This has been my Garytorial, thank you!
