Hey, he doesn't exploit people. He gives them valuable exposure which can translate into paying gigs*. *As long as they are cool with being berated for the rest of their lives by Howard for doing said gigs. haljordan fucked around with this message at 13:52 on May 1, 2013 |

Man, I was listening to some old clips and episodes from 2003-2004 and it was disgusting how vehemently Howard was for the Iraq War. Not to start a political debate as I remember back then there was a lot of misinformation and lies from the administration and media, but just the way Howard would spew bile at any caller who dared to be against the war and the pure bloodlust in his voice is shocking. It is also nuts considering his 180 on this issue later. I know a lot of people that were pro-war changed their minds later and that's fine, but I was just shocked at the level of which he was for the invasion. He was literally screaming at callers who were just like "maybe we need a little more evidence first..."

Howard grew up listening to his mother's tales of oppression at the hands of Nazis so I'd imagine his islamophobia is just an offshoot of a strong jewish protectionist mindset. I don't think he's ever been to Israel that he's spoken of, has he? It was weird hearing them on that old Staff Pick show having gotten back from doing a week in London, considering how anti-overseas-travel he seems these days.

One of the funniest parts about that celebrity superfan roundtable a couple pages back was Jason Alexander (I think) saying how levelheaded Howard was afer 9/11 and how the show avoided jumping to conclusions, not calling for blood. That's some serious revisionist history right there, Howard would constantly say how we should just nuke their land into oblivion before we even knew the source of the attack.

Any time he talks about the Israel Palestine conflict and says that no one lived in Palestine before Israel was founded or says it's all due to antisemitism as if the Palestinians would have just loved being ethnically cleansed from their native land by another religion I just have to stop listening.

To be fair, Howard always suggest instant death for anyone that endangers him, bothers him or if they clear their throat while talking to him.

TASTE THE PAIN!! posted:Howard is giving some terrible opinions on the last episode of Game of Thrones right now, saying he couldn't hear anything in the bath scene, and he thinks it might be the moment that will turn him off the show. Whenever he talks about it he sounds so clueless, like he's too busy chatting with Beth to follow what's going on. I guess THE BACHELOR is more up his alley. Howard doesn't seem to be the kind of a man with the patience and attention span to sit through over a minute of someone talking.

I'm actually kind of shocked he likes Game of Thrones - it's very complex for him. There's a lot going on, tons of character and places. Howard "I'll watch anything with superpowers/vampires/teen drama" Stern isn't a guy who is very deep when it comes to his TV and movie viewing habits. It doesn't shock me Jaime's story went right past him.

Ayup. And this is why he doesn't watch Mad Men, which I consider to be the best written TV show ever made. It's just too complicated, and he gravitates towards shows that require zero analysis, like The Walking Dead.

And that is a strict requirement that you do zero analysis, because otherwise you just watch the show so you can talk about how bad it is on the internet.

Stuttering John doing 1 of 2 things that made him worthwhile on the show. I'd never heard this interview, it's a loving riot because unlike all other celebs he interviews this guy was beyond capable of beating the poo poo out of John. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-CVi9I8Bfs

On the Lieberman special on him, we found out that clicking sound is what he used to start communicating with people after he flew out of the truck his drunk buddies took him speeding in. They would point at symbols of things and he would click to let them know which ones he wanted.

Finally heard the Tyson interview from Monday and it was fantastic. They had the guy for almost 2 hours and I was riveted the entire time. Robin gets major props for bringing up that Howard dated Mike's ex-wife too. That was hilariously uncomfortable.

The "Robin, Oprah, or [i forget 3rd option] game was great. Gary would read a statement and Howard and Robin would have to guess which of the three said it. Robin didn't get a single one of her own statements correct.

Has there been any news on her health lately? Getting her back in the studio would probably put some energy back into the show. I wouldn't be surprised that Howard not having his 'audience' present to play to her has affected the show a lot.

Can you somehow make money out of sheer Twitter volume or something? Eric the Midget is now to the point where he spends several hours a day on Twitter, and 99% of his time is spent screaming at people. There'll be a single "yeah I thought the Wrestlemania event was good" and 50+ "SHUT THE gently caress UP DUMBASS I DID NOT poo poo ON ANYONE'S LAWN" over and over. The trolls now taken to CC'ing the show with their accusations, so of course Eric CC's them with his responses. I just can't see what the little bastard gets out of it at this point.
