Kids on the Radio : 1982 Airchecks

Kid with a big heart 250 Aloha! The Mindwrecker here, today in my real child-friendly identity of Uncle Drew, with some live-on-the-air audio verite` damage.

In 1982, cassette decks were my main musical instruments. I taped anything and everything and edited and looped it, to use on my radio show and in my band. These two files are from a cassette of an afternoon children's program going out live on KZSC, Santa Cruz, circa 1982.  I don't know who the children were (now 27 years older) on the show that day (or the name of the program), it was merely more raw fodder for audio collage work.

Bozell Column: A Commercial For Adultery?

Everyone who enjoys NFL football games knows they’re going to be sitting through an avalanche of those awkward ads for erectile-dysfunction drugs, and ads soaked in sex and violence selling new movies or prime-time TV shows. Despite this barrage, the NFL has managed to show some standards, believe it or not.

They refused a Super Bowl commercial from the website AshleyMadison.com because of its unusual product, a dating service for married people who want to commit adultery – or as they strangely describe it, they enable "married dating." Their slogan is "Life’s short. Have an affair."

But this Home Wreckers Incorporated found a way around the NFL, such as airing local ads during the Super Bowl on NBC-affiliated KPRC in Houston. CEO Noel ...

‘Obama Forum’ Features Pornographic Ads Promoting Adultery

A website touting itself as "The Forum for Supporters of President Obama" is currently featuring pornographic advertisements along with a banner advising readers how to stop paying child support.

"Life is short. Have an affair" reads one ad. Another gets men in touch with wives looking to cheat on their husbands. 

I guess this is change you can believe in.

As these ads are guaranteed to be considered offensive, a link to this site is below the fold (readers are strongly advised to proceed with caution, h/t NB reader ztollz):

The Obama Forum.

I quite imagine our new president being thrilled with the morals of his supporters.

How 'bout you?

Oops! AP’s Ben Feller Claims Obama Voted Against Iraq War In 2002

Associated Press reporter Ben Feller needs a better copy editor to keep him from inventing history for Barack Obama. Near the end of a dispatch filed early Saturday morning on the president’s speech at Camp Lejeune on Iraq, Feller claimed:

The president who voted against the war as senator and ran against in his upstart White House bid said the Iraq conflict is one huge, painful lesson.

The vote authorizing President Bush to wage combat operations in Iraq was on October 11, 2002, and Obama wasn’t elected until 2004. Then Feller failed to note Obama’s "no" vote in the Senate on Bush’s successful surge of troops, although this may have been the most critical-sounding passage in his story:

He applauded the armed forces for its successes in Iraq, where U.S. deaths and violence in ...

ABC News: Conservatives Are Biggest Porn Consumers?

ABC News is excited about porn. At least excited by the "fact" that conservative and religious states have the highest levels of porn usage in the country. This, ABC says, is according to a study by Benjamin Edelman at Harvard Business School. Yes, it's another one of those dime-a-dozen studies.

ABC trumpets the bare "facts" in its February 28 piece titled, "Porn in the USA: Conservatives Are Biggest Consumers." In its first few paragraphs the report claims that, "Those states that do consume the most porn tend to be more conservative and religious" than states in the more liberal areas of the country. But there is a problem with ABC's heavy-handed claim. Even the Harvard researcher doesn't put too much emphasis on the "conservative states" aspect because his ...
