I was looking at the SFN site and I saw this:

quote:

I just got off the phone w/ Johnny Fratto who just had a call from Eric the Actor & his upset parents. We've made his mom cry. That's why i'm pulling the plug on this whole dead midget gag. We've all had fun but it's time to stop. honestly, it was getting beat into the ground around here & elsewhere people were busy contacting him directly. it's ran it's course & i'm asking you all to move on to something new.

I don't want to see any more dead midget photoshops or threads. you've done plenty & they were tons of fun but it's not funny anymore. He's taking it to heart & considering he's already lived past a sick midget's life expectancy, pics of their son in a coffin is not what the parents need to be greeted with. i don't know how it got to them but my assumption is some people went too far w/ the joke & were contacting him & his friends.

so to recap
- Eric the Actor is alive. he's not dead & he's never died at all.
- I do not want any more dead midget fun going on here.
- I'm also asking you to drop it outside of SFN. I know i have no right to tell you what to do on facebook or myspace but please follow my lead & lets drop this one.

thanks

PS: If you know someone who has a memorial site, obituary, edited wikipedia, etc IMHO the joke has gone far enough.

PPS: If he can't drop the dead midget stuff, I will understand if you guys can't drop it and I promise, if he gets all gloaty acting like he put us in our place, i'll put everything back & tell u all to carry on.

We made the mom cry :(

"Oh God, why, Eric? Why did you have to come out of the lakehouse??"

"B-ut mo-M--"

"But nothing! And nude pics? WHORES?? You're extorting money from a radio show, you rear end!!"

"--I c-an e-xpl-a-in--"

Yeah, it was the dead midget stuff. Sure.

This is kind of hosed up but for some reason the term "dead midget" is so, so funny to me in these discussions.

My favourite was Richard Christy as Hitler giving Gary a spray to turns jews normal (if I remember rightly)

Part of the bit was that Hitler sprayed some on Jason who then proved he was no longer Jewish by taking change out of his pocket and throwing it on the floor, but then HowardTV caught him going back into the studio during the break to make sure he got every coin back.

Second, it was amazing (I only remember of bit of it from the first time I listened). I'm a (relatively) new listener to the Stern show (started a few months into the Sirius years) and it's amazing how the show went from such energy to the amazing height of apathy it is now in like 5 short years.

edit: At least Beetlejuice is coming back somewhat soon!

Also, HowardTV pretty much blew their yearly budget making the fake rocketship for Gary to get into.

Howard: "How did you guys make that ship?"
Doug: "Well we have real great fabricator we work with..."
Artie: "...and they were busy?"

Ugh, it seems like 50% of the show today, and lately, has been Howard whining about his troubles with technology. (cable, world wide web, android phones)

This poo poo needs relegated to Geek Time or some Technobeaver show on 101. It's like talking to my parents about computers... it just stinks.

I hate how they still use Pamela Anderson as the idea of a hot chick.

I didn't think that Pamela Anderson was all that hot when she was "Hot." Now she's older and has Hep-C.

She was hot as poo poo around the time when she was contracting Hep-C.

Pamela Anderson was the hottest woman in Hollywood in the mid-nineties, although it is odd how Howard still puts her on that pedestal.

Just wow.

Somewhere in an alternate reality, Howard Stern is taking time after the show to write a Twitter, check his Facebook, and take his iPhone off the charger so he can film his way out of the studio. Once he gets past his fans, he updates his YouTube account and then goes home to do a special 'Live From Trump Tower' special where he just talks about himself and takes callers unfiltered while talking about his passions in life. This year? He's bunching his holidays together so he can tour the whole of South America.

That must be a fun dimension.

Wasn't she with Kid Rock when it was announced she was infected? If so, she was past her prime. I think she peaked when the Tommy Lee sex tape was released.

I don't get why Howard is all over her either. Has she even been on the show since the move? The last thing I can remember about her was Artie going to the hotel room were they were having a party and that was when they were still at K-ROCK.

I agree with you. Pam Anderson never did anything for me, even during her "peak" in the 90s. I hate that Barbie doll look though.

I thought that was pretty interesting. During the news Robin brought up the subject of how CBS was handling the Charlie Sheen situation. Basically they ignored his problems and Robin asked if they should have done something. Howard instantly made the connection that this was the same type of situation as he went through with Artie and took the viewpoint that CBS was right to ignore it and couldn't do anything to help; basically clearing himself of any responsibility with Artie. I give Robin credit though, she stuck to the topic and kind of put Howard on the spot and got him to backtrack and say that yes maybe it was CBS's responsibility to do something. He sounded very very uncomfortable, think he feels guilty about what went down with Artie?

I'm with you. I sit next to a guy at my office that checks his droid constantly and will always tell me the latest poo poo it can do. Who gives a poo poo, who gives a gently caress.

Howard loves minstrel shows. He puts them on all the time with his shuck and jive voices for the radio. But you know, he's totally not racist, his mom loved black people.

Benji actually started to explain it fairly well, but Howard just cut him off to talk to John Hein.

I hate John Hine so much. He is an expert on nothing, he's got an annoying loving voice, and I have no idea why he needs to be on every loving show on the channel.
