Did Giant Brian go to far in Philly?

[Dirtybird12]

<p>Over this past weekend, Giant Brian &amp; friends&nbsp;created a 6ft doll of terrell owens and brought it into work today for the John Debella morning show in Philly. </p><p>Then they&nbsp;had Intern &quot;Thud&quot; take the doll out on the street and invited the public to come down and &quot;Kick T.O. Out of Town&quot;</p><p>The angry mob kicked the dummy all over Philly. The wacky intern was&nbsp;then instructed&nbsp;to throw T.O. off of a bridge... (see pic below)</p><p>Needless to say, Thud was arrested by police and charged with: Disorderly conduct, insighting a riot, and disturbing the peace.....</p><p>Most of this went down as the show was ending - so tomorrow there will be more details about his arrest.&nbsp; OK, so it's not sex in a church - but it's still pretty vile. </p><p>Jeers to you Brian.&nbsp; You know better. &nbsp;Someone could've been hurt. I hope Jesus forgives you my son. </p><p><a href="http://www.jdbshow.com/p001.htm" target="_self">The JDB show can now be heard online:</a> </p><p><img height="480" src="http://www.jdbshow.com/images/kick_TO/CIMG1146.JPG" width="640" border="0" /><br /></p>

Living in Philly, I have one thing to say.&nbsp; Nice PIC of the refineries.&nbsp; Or the fertilizer plant.&nbsp; Whatever, anyway, This is SO normal, and perhaps to the rest of the country it may seem extreme.&nbsp; In Philly, the fans are totally insane.&nbsp; While Owens is a tool and deserves to be sent to whatever team will have him, the fans are as fickle as the wind.&nbsp; They can love you one minute and hate you the next.&nbsp; I love the Eagles, but it is painful to listen to sports talk radio and hear the fans who hate the players they loved a week ago.&nbsp; Oh well.&nbsp; Just some insight from someone who had to live with the of rooting for a team in a crazy town.

IsSheDead? Is this what women walking into work want to have to say?

<p>Isshedead nailed it. The fans are ... berserk and starved for a champion in Philly. Sports are huge here, football by far the biggest (although not mine personally) but all 4 are watched and debated about. He didnt go too far, and I bet they drop charges unless some new 20 year old guido cop. </p>

<p>It sounds like it was a decent bit to me.</p><p>Probably got on the local TV news as well. Good for Brian.</p>

<p>According to the Philly Inquirer, Giant Brian had nothing to do with this bit.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span class="body-content"><p><strong>John DeBella's</strong> morning-show producer at WMGK-FM (102.9) is out, and it's not clear whether he quit or was pushed.</p>
<p><em>Pushed</em> is the operative word here.</p>
<p>As part of an on-air stunt Nov. 14, <strong>Sam Hagopian</strong>, known as Thud, kicked a life-size stuffed effigy of Eagles wide receiver <strong>Terrell Owens</strong> through the streets of Center City.</p>
<p>Hagopian and faux T.O. ended up at the Ben Franklin Bridge.</p>
<p>DeBella wanted Hagopian to push the thing off the bridge. Hagopian, no dummy about the law, resisted. But DeBella pressed on.</p>
<p>Hagopian then pulled a fast one on listeners. While holding the
doll, he intimated that he had indeed pushed it over - as bridge police
closed in and busted him for disturbing the peace.</p>
<p>Station insiders said DeBella was not pleased that Hagopian had fibbed. DeBella did not return calls last week.</p>
<p>Hagopian, 24, of Oreland, who started as a DeBella intern while a
Temple University student in May 2003, said Friday that &quot;it was time
for me to move on.&quot;</p>
<p>Greater Media, which owns the classic-rock station, offered him part-time work as a technical producer for <strong>Jay Lamont's</strong> <em>All About Real Estate</em> on sister station WPEN-AM (950).</p>
<p>Greater Media also agreed to pay a $100 fine (plus $30 court costs).
Hagopian, who said he was job-hunting, pleaded not guilty at a hearing
Monday.</p>
<p>&quot;We don't think he actually <em>disturbed</em> the peace,&quot; said WMGK's program director, who goes by <strong>Cruze</strong>. He said Hagopian had grown weary of his man-on-the-street role on the show.</p>
<p>All vestiges of Thud, including the T.O. prank, are gone from
DeBella's Web site. And the T.O. doll - done for the season, as well -
sits in WPEN's studios.</p>
<p>Cruze said DeBella would name a new producer after Dec. 7's DeBella DeBall, a free event in its 24th year.</p><p></p><p>&nbsp;</p></span>&nbsp;</p>

<p>If he didn't push it, I don't see how they &quot;went to far&quot;.</p><p>Anyhoo-hoo, Philly radio is just downright awful. DeBella, Barsky, Preston &amp; Steve????</p><p>Thank God for XM!!!!</p>
