What is even the point of radio anymore? Like, why do I need to sit through ads for songs I probably don't want to hear, played in an inconvenient order for me, when I can just grab an MP3 player and listen to them whenever I feel like it, as many times as I want, with no interruption?

Podcasts are radio 2.0, cool people talking about things I'm interested inn. Much better than regular radio.

Radio is fantastic for hearing music that you haven't heard before; or for very interesting speech stuff; like a fair amount of Radio 4. Regular top 40 stuff is pointless now IMO, but there's always going to be a place for more specialist stuff.

I like a lot of the BBC radio stations, they play some really interesting stuff and they also run a bunch of neat Spotify playlists that I follow. I'm surprised more radio stations aren't using Spotify, that seems like a much more appropriate way of Social Media Outreach[TM] as opposed to reposting "BET U CANT NAME A BODY PART THAT DOESNT HAVE AN X IN IT".

Reminds me of a clip I only saw yesterday, but is equally scathing of the stupidity of the public. BBC One used to air these awful 'letters from viewers' shows, and someone complained about a Chris Morris bit. They actually ran his response, and it's - of course - genius. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zU_FXnSjBLY Ah, back in the 90s when British TV had some bite...

IceAgeComing posted:Radio is fantastic for hearing music that you haven't heard before; or for very interesting speech stuff; like a fair amount of Radio 4. Yeah, this is what I look to radio for. It's a way to hear new music that I wouldn't hear otherwise, and keep on top of news. I do listen to Top 40 radio, but that's for a couple reasons: -In Australia, there's not much else. You've either got top 40s, classics that were once in the top 40, and the government-funded broadcaster that I can never find the frequency for. -If I can grit my teeth through the boy bands that are apparently a thing again, and Pink hasn't released a new album recently, the Top 40 is full of music that I'm pretty okay with.

In some niche markets it does ok. I listen to the radio to listen to local news from a local perspective in the local language, all of which are kinda hard to find in the heavily Paris-centric French media market. If it weren't for all three of those factors I probably really wouldn't listen to radio at all. It helps that they have pretty decent shows too. I just looked at their Facebook page and all their posts are about upcoming shows so that probably says a lot. As for content, I see artifacted images a lot but god drat, how did they do this and what did the original look lik?

At least us was just the baby's dick. When I was born my dad was so unbelievably proud and happy he brought a picture of me taking a bath to show to the office. The thing is, my dad was in the bath too, making sure I didn't drown or whatever. My mother still face palms when she remembers finding out. He refuses to get a Facebook, but if it had existed back then he definitely would have been that guy.

When my cousin's son was born, she emailed everyone in the family a birth announcement. While I don't recall the exact wording, it was something like "big, just like Daddy!" Paired with the picture, there was a clear implication of a dick joke. I still can't think of the right word to express my reaction; shocked isn't really right, appalled is too strong, and mildly disgusted doesn't quite cover the full range. More like: She didn't have a facebook then, but I'm sure it would have been on Facebook if she had.

Eh, the higher-ups at my work are doing that today, they are unilaterally of the opinion that "you dump the water and you don't have to donate any money!" My CEO thinks it will raise awareness of our company. Any though that they might be raising awareness can be dispelled by asking them what the ice bucket challenge is for, since when I tried that with them I got "ASL" "fun" and "raising money for charities" as answers.

Someone in my family works in radio, I listen to them every day and as soon as their program is done I turn the radio off, or change to CBC or something. I'm glad they'll be retired before radio really does start to simmer away more.

The idea is that if you dump the ice water on your head, the person who "challenged" you has to make the donation. The whole thing actually has been successful for the ALS Association.

Other than "Charlie Sheen gets it" and the trickle-down philosophy, this doesn't seem too stupid. I think the problem with "pink washing" (and its variants) has been discussed elsewhere, but this doesn't have enough typos, mentions of chemtrails, and artifacted eCards to be truly stupid, by our standards.

Pregnancy is weird and kinda disturbing. One of my coworkers was this short, thin chick, and when she got pregnant she ballooned out to like half again her own size while keeping the same body frame. I'm not even sure how she walked.
