Asshat indeed.

But "asshat" is MY word!

Hilarity will ensue! France will surrender! ASSHAT!

Behold the power of FARK!

suitable. Now let it be.

Good.

I don't know what to say here, because while I am thinking "good," I also thought that firing O&A was over the line....
Oh, screw it. Good, he deserved it.

I take it this means something to some people then? Good, Good...

He'll go on to another show and make more money.

Life goes on..well for most of us, not Darryl Kile

Who Cares?

I just want to say that I live in AZ, listen to KUPD all the time, and I heard when he did this. It is indeed terrible. I am stunned that he is fired but thats what happens when you don't think. He has a great personality and was very funny, until he pulled that. I am sorry to hear that he got fired and I will miss hearing him but thats what you get when you do something so stupid.

I'd like to think that all the people here on Fark who wrote their sponsors had a hand in this.

Bravo :)

Good. Maybe next time he'll think about something before doing it.

It won't be long now before they just fire all the DJ's and just staff the radio stations with the X-1000 DJ-0-Matic. Just has Herb Tarlec predicted.

A step in the right direction. Now once a few Cardinals players give this guy a thorough working over, everything will be even.

Nice Herb Tarlec reset. now I didn't hear you know on my door, so please knock then came back.

know = knock

*sprinting for coffee*

I'm sure he can get a job selling peanuts in front of Busch Stadium. We'll welcome him with open arms in St. Louis...

Boss: Look, our ratings are down, and the station is being swamped with angry calls and letter-bombs. [A few letter-bombs explode in a pile] And it's all your fault!

Bill: Yes it is, ma'am.

Boss: This is the DJ 3000. It plays CDs automatically, and it has three distinct varieties of inane chatter. [presses a button]

DJ 3000: [stilted] Hey, hey. How about that weather out there? Woah! _That_ was the caller from hell. Well, hot dog! We have a weiner.

Bill: Man, that thing's great!

Marty: _Don't_ praise the machine!

Boss: If you don't get that kid an elephant by tomorrow, the DJ 3000 gets your job.

DJ 3000: Those clowns in congress did it again. What a bunch of clowns.

Bill: [laughs] How does it keep up with the news like that?

American radio's schytt anyway.

Good... Now can we get rid of Bubba the Love Sponge, please?

Unfortunately, he will probably get a job in a bigger market now, in the end his little prank will only further his career. Such is the radio business.

I can't wait until someone recognizes him in public and beats the living shiat out of him. That article will deserve a big fat OBVIOUS tag.

What does "asshat" mean? I can't find it in my Oxford English Dictionary. TIA

Hope you are all pleased with yourselves you sanctimonious hypocrites! Actually, I couldn't give a flying toss

great news! this guy deserves every shiatty thing that happens to him from now on. that's right. mess with a grieving widow, on purpose, and you've turned in your human card. good job to all of the farkers who wrote in.

2 WKRP in Cincinnati references in one morning. Wow.

Can we make it three before lunch?

"Sources say that the team being interviewed to replace is Opie and Anthony out fo New York"

Hmm


Irony?

Not really but a wishful headline

When does the shin-kicking begin?

asshat = someone with their head up their ass? as in, wearing their ass as a hat?? *shrug*

ArnoldLayne,

My OED says: asshat: See PJ

Were we ever successful in getting the audio of that phone prank?

Anyone out there from Phoenix? I'd like to know how the morning team handled this issue on their broadcast yesterday and today...not that I want to give them higher ratings or anything.

First Opie and Anthony, now this jagoff Kile.
If they can get Bubba the love sponge next I may start to believe in a god again.
BTW Phillips Phile Rules Afternoons!

There was a piece in today's St. Louis Post Dispatch that a DJ here in St. Louis was going to buy the remaining DJs on the show tickets for a cruise in February. When the ship got into international water, they were going to disclose to the AZ DJs that they were on the annual "Cardinals Cruise" where all the Cardinals fans and good number of players all take a Carribean vacation.

Maybe this will reign in some of those annoying morning personalities, or at least force them to come up with something clever.

GREAT JOB FARKERS!!!! I really think that all of the feedback to sponsors really did help!

Hmmmmm... do we dare take on political issues with this FARKING power???

"YOUR BOSS" FOR PRESIDENT!

I've always wondered if one of these callers actually threatened to kick the snot out of one of these guys what would happen. I mean, some of the local late-nighters here in Tampa bay are real lowlifes, I wouldn't be surprised of they would up with a few busted ribs.

MayoBoy: My OED says: asshat: See PJ

Thanks, but Jesus, did the OED really have to put in a picture of PJ?
I just about lost my breakfast.

Kile is the dead Cardinal, Mel Diablo, you tool. Not the DJ. You're FIRED for making insensitive comments.

OED: Oxford English Dictionary,Oxford, where I was educated unlike you brain dead wankers

OOHHKAY FINE...

The trouble is that none of those drive time asshats are "DJs" in my opinion.

If you want to listen to 4 hours of juvenile humor filled with sex and scat jokes targeted at a 13 year old audience then why not just skip the music. Just make it a 4 hour skit, joke and sexual inuendo show and be honest about it.

In my market I can drive from home to work (45 minutes) and hear maybe one song. The drive home used to be great and now it is infested with jabber and other cr@p.

All of the stations here are infested: metal, heavy rock (fav), light rock, country (yuck). About the only thing that isn't is the local NPR station. However, they are running a fund drive this week.

I guess I will just have to listen to CDs.

Good news. What an asshat.

BTW I think someone in the White House lurks Fark daily. Or at least they should.

I know that if I were the Prez, I'd have someone testing the waters here all the time. Can we make policy? You bet your ass we can.

PJ,

Perhaps your Oxford education didn't serve you very well.

Your grammar sucks my ass. Try this instead:

OED: Oxford English Dictionary. Oxford is where I was educated, unlike you brain dead wankers.

OED: Oxford English Dictionary,Oxford, where I was educated unlike you brain dead wankers

As was Clinton, what's your point?

AuntofDogface: Amen to getting rid of Bubba. What a clown.

someone on the cardinals died?
Who are they playing this sunday?

It was a couple of months ago, Mel. I have no clue who they're playing this Sunday.

The worst part is I can see this moron sitting in the morning, slurping on his coffee thinking up this brilliant skit. Then he skips into work and has this huge grin on his face as he just knows everyone listening to their radio is just rolling on the floor, crashing their car, spitting milk out of their nose listening to him. The God of Humor on the radio. I smell syndication. But somewhere in the real world people with brains are ready to run this guy up a flag pole by his bean bag. Seriously does being a DJ turn you into a complete moron or does being a complete moron open up all the neccessary doors to be a DJ??
