So is it possible for little inconsequential ABC 6 to accomplish the same thing on the TV side? TV stations are gasping for air themselves, and if there's an opportunity to show 'inflated ratings in order to extort higher ad rates,' it's in local TV markets like this. WPRO should go dig up some dirt on 'Holier Than Thou' ABC 6 and air that laundry. Maybe there's a male news anchor who's jealous of a female co-anchor and he's spying on her e-mail. Or something.
Brian, did you see the BMW DePetro was climbing into? He obviously has a good contract. I bet Finneran doesn't even drive a Beemer.
My husband used to drive a BMW. The ultimate driving machine - ha! - more like the ultimate mid-life-crisis machine! Naturally, we both drive Prius now. Much more eco-friendly. Plus, the Japanese did not kill 6 million Jews, plus thousands of others (gays, gypsies, invalids, etc.).
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Karma's a bitch.
Danny DeVito did it with TV ratings and the help from somebody on the inside of the ratings company. I think it was Arbitron. (What is the name of tha movie?)
Maybe they'll make a movie about DePetro cooking the books too.
Seriously, is it any surprise that this is happening in a place that gave us mayor Buddy?
With all of the media coverage on this - including that on this site - there is one crucial fact that nobody is explaining. If Arbitron distributes and manages the diaries, how could DePetro or anyone else manipulate them? How could he make sure anyone voted his way? Can someone please explain this?
Speaking of Vay Cay, this morning's Michael Graham show was a repeat from a few days ago and it sounded like a low resolution MP3. Couldn't they get a guest host? Don't they realize that these topical shows are already stale even 1 day later in most cases?
I was an arbitron rater once. Just as when I polled for any reason, consumer, politics, etc., I consider it my ethical duty to spin the results as required to meet my agenda. I certainly wouldn't ever fill out the log in little 15 minute intervals. The fact that this antiquated AM/FM media relies on these methods of measurements indicates how impotent and fragile the whole thing is. Christ, even if I DID listen to Finneran for 20 minutes I would never write in a book that I did.
"Naturally, we both drive Prius now."
Naturally, with license plates that read 'HYBRID1' and 'HYBRID2.' You know you're a Moonbat when you drive a hybrid vehicle and then feel compelled to trumpet it to the world. The Messianic complex knows no bounds, I guess.
Chris, we drive hybrids because there are no viable electric cars as yet because Big Oil and the Cheney/Bush administration torpedoed any real progress on that front in order to benefit their wealthy cronies and the Saudi Royal Family.
When we are in P-Town we drive Vespas, but are considering trading them for Vectrixes. I would drive a pink one (natch), hubby a navy one.
Plus, the Japanese did not kill 6 million Jews, plus thousands of others (gays, gypsies, invalids, etc.).
No just hundreds of thousands of Chinese, thousands of unarmed POWs in the Bataan Death March, tens of thousands of Filipinos, sleeping sailors on Sunday morning in Pearl Harbor, etc.
Buy a history book.
Celtic Frost,
I enjoy your comments and I think you are a very funny and knowledgeable person but I can't figure out why you feel the need to bring up your sexual orientation in almost every post.
Please just stick to the thread topic and leave your personal life at the door. We get it. You are gay. If not, then you want the rest of us to think you are gay for some reason. Like I said, I think your posts are insightful and humorous, but please give us a break on the personal stuff. Thanks and keep up your interest in this site. You do bring a lot to the table - just don't bring all of it to the table at once.
AFS, well put. Immature narcissists are boring, regardless of who they sleep with.
I'm amazed that some people are taken in by the BILLIONTH personality/handle changes by CELTIC FROST...his past is in the archives so for those super interested, check out the many CHANGES in writing style (a more suck-uppy to Brian and social one since I have blown his cover). Ifnot, why didn't he just create a NEW handle in lieu of pilfering it from Really Right? Why start using a handle that was previously trying to antagonize people?
He used to post as his current personality (albeit...not as embracing to others) and more FAKE gay-militant as HUGH JASS and when he initially STOLE the Celtic Frost handle...he wrote as a very cartoony over-the-top exaggerated Right Winger and worse of all HE USED TO FIGHT WITH HIMSELF (Hugh Jass and Celtic Frost) in posts! It's all in the archives...check it out.
He also posted that NASTY post about Tony Snow using Lawrence and he is also known as FREE THE MCPHEES and many more I haven't found out. Yet.
He's NOT gay and can't y'all see he is also being a CARTOONY Left Winger? My gosh, it's so obvious! Nothing he posts is TRUE.
Barbara, I know you have been lying low due to the IMPOSTERS but you should know that CELTIC FROST is the ULTIMATE imposter...he is the one who stole YOUR handle and Joy's. I used to think he was too stupid to be able to mimic Joy's posts but just have a gander at how his writing style has a modicum more of intelligence in lieu of put-downs lately. HE IS THE IMPOSTER. He is always here and ALWAYS posts!
He can because he is on SSI but he can only use public facility computers and doesn't have one of his own...he can't afford it and if you think he has a Prius...ha-ha...I'll sell ya the Zakim Bridge for wicked cheap! His vehicle is called the MBTA.
JSYK, I think the trolls feed on exclamation points and all-caps. Best to just ignore them.
Hey JSYK, can you stop wasting your time with Celtic Frost and find Osama?
JSYK, don't be such a hater.
I am nothing more than me, as comes across in all my posts. Nearly all of which attend to the thread (unlike yours). Chill, and peace out, my friend.
Depetro will be canned, is my bet...
