The American Dwellers here may know who the people on this video are more than I do. Some creepy looking racist prick and a TV presenter who just tears him to shreds on live TV. Basically, there's been another gun shooting, and the guy (who has his own other show on some other channel) calls in and starts talking about "hip hop culture" being to blame, and black youths running amok. Except the shooter was white. Check it out.. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yY2UFaXPBKsMan, why can't TV presenters in Britain be like this guy? I'd watch this show every day. |

Fox News is a network that every slightly intelligent human on earth that's aware of it collectively wishes would die. If you think John Gibson is bad (the hair! My, God, the HAIR!!!!), try Bill O'Reilley on for size. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIVnwYGU9Qo and then www.youtube.com/watch?v=XY4qtBn0LgA God, what a useless prick. If you've ever seen "V For Vendetta", the "England prevails" guy is a dead-on impersonation. And that doesn't even cover his recent embarrassment-to-all-white-people comments about how shocked he was that nobody in a black restaurant he ate at got shot or yelled out the word "motherfucker" while he was eating there. Old white people (or anyone else who has no significant personal experience with a culture) should never, ever comment on it. If you're going to even pretend to have an opinion on something educate yourself first, bitch. I am more shocked by the bullshit portrayal of black culture in rap music than I am by ANYTHING that an actual black man or woman has done or said to me or around me. When a white guy acts like an asshole, people just assume he's an asshole; but if a black person acts like an asshole, then the whole fucking race gets blamed. If a country fan murders somebody, they are mentally disturbed; but if the killer listens to heavy metal, then obviously the music made him do it. Nothing pisses me off more than these disgusting and ignorant double standards.  |

It's actually frightening that someone like that can get national exposure on television. Not being snooty, but no WAY would that be allowed in the UK. In a way it's a good thing (sort of) that people are allowed freedom of speech more in the US, but anyone on TV that called another nation "prehistoric" or "cowards" would be taken off the air.
You gotta love that - "Europe are cowards. I'm generalising, but by and large they are." So, um - which is it, genius?
Shouting down someone with another arguement is a classic example of not wanting to be proven wrong. If he just let someone with a little more intelligence get a word in, they'd probably run rings around him.
Man that video got me pissed. What an absolute prick. Is he a big deal over in America?

He's massive; almost a household name like Rush Limbaugh, but at least Rush's obscene conservatism is balanced with a good sense of humor. O'Reilley is such a fucking cancer. He is largely derided by what seems to be a majority of upright-walking humans, but his ratings are unmatched by any show of it's type and he never, ever, EVER misses an opportunity to point it out. But wait, there's more! youtube.com/watch?v=15NbE-UvkyU Turns out his incesssant ratings claims are based on the same logic as everything else that comes out of his mouth is, and that is to say: BULLSHIT!!! Freedom of speech is my bread and butter, but the fact that this guy is thriving or even accepted into our society is the harshest statement about America right now. That and we (sort of) elected George W Bush president. Twice. Europe is looking pretty damn good right now. |

Ha ha, why can't we have shows like that in the UK? Where people basically call out someone else?

I swear, newscasters are like gangsta rappers these days...
Ever seen "Anchorman"? True story.
Maybe.
