I support an Opie & Fez show because I want to hear the trainwreck of a lame duck show that management won't offer a new contract to because both people are massive pains in the rear end.

Apoplexy posted:Yeah, but gently caress that guy. He deserved to have his poo poo taken away from him. Why the gently caress are you giving a poo poo and taking up arms to defend an old racist millionaire gently caress in his 80s who was banging a mixed-race girl in her 20s? He clearly doesn't need any help from you. It's like you don't understand how important precedence is. You can't just argue in favor of applying a standard to one specific person because they happen to be a rich racist rear end in a top hat who deserved it and expect that to have no effect on the standards that get applied to other people in the future.

Good thing there's plenty of precedence with poor people getting hosed over by at-will employment. Didn't really matter to a lot of people until now all of the sudden???

Mr Ice Cream Glove posted:Do you guys think Ant could have escaped the firing if he apologized? I don't think he would have had a chance to. Once the hours and hours of racist clips and thousands of past tweets started showing up in the news/blog stories it was beyond that. This wasn't an isolated use of a word that can be apologized for, it was a past history of a belief in racist ideology and propagation of it.

I gave up when they started for-real comparing Ant to Hitler. Usually a good time to duck out. spudsbuckley posted:So, is the show live today? Who knows? Everyone cancelled their subs in outrage.

I think the Bobo episode was wisely wiped from existence, unless someone ripped it and posted it elsewhere.

I highly doubt this will hurt sirius in the long run. I mean few thousand cancellations out of 25 million is nothing and the PR for firing a racist is going to be good for them. And really most people arn't going to give a poo poo in 2 weeks.

OldTennisCourt posted:Realistically, if Sirius loses O&A how bad will it hurt them from a subscription standpoint? Nobody can guess. They've never released numbers (beyond saying that they're the second most listened to show on the platform) and most of the big fans steal the show in a variety of ways (palchat/live streams/mp3s/youtube) If you just go from the base price and Ant's reported salary, they'd have to lose 158,000 subscribers to offset the benefit of getting rid of Anthony's salary (rumored to be 3 mil a year) And they're still doing the new car deals which is where most of their growth seems to be coming from.
