I admit it, I don’t understand all the hand-wringing about Imus and his moronic comments. He’s a shock-jock. His job is to shock. What he said about a a bunch of 18-year-old kids was shocking. Seems to me he was fulfilling his function, doing his job, and earning his millions of dollars.

Maybe what we should be asking ourselves is, in what bizarro universe is it that over-grown juveniles are not just allowed, but expected, to be outrageous, obscene, insulting, and idiotic in the misrepresented name of “comedy?” How comes a couple of obnoxious infantiles who go out of their way to profane a church get a big deal with a satellite radio company and, oh yeah let’s not forget, CBS radio who fired them some years ago to save face for that scandal? In what crazed cosmos can an aging pre-pubescent with a breast fixation get a half-billion dollars to talk about sex all day? What the devil happened to us that CBS makes $20-million dollars per year on Imus, then doesn’t stand behind him when he does exactly what they are paying him to do - be an lewd, outrageous loudmouth?

Sorry, kids, I don’t buy the whole self-serving nonsense CBS has put up, taking the high road for canning him, “fixing” the problem. We as a society still think it’s funny to insult women, insult each other, and more importantly allow aging frat boys to insult our intelligence. Imus did what he, and every other shock-jock, is supposed to do. The problem is, we as a society accept and pay for that embarrassing nonsense in the first place.
