What's so funny?
It astounds me that so many people actually find this guy worth listening to.
The Aunt Jemima Joke
Stern denigrated the pancake icon in 1992 when he said on his radio show, "The closest I came to making love to a black woman was I masturbated to a picture of Aunt Jemima on a pancake box." The FCC fined Stern and Infinity Broadcasting $600,000 for that quip.
The Selena Scandal
In March 1995, while Selena's fans reeled from the shooting death of the Latin singer, Stern made fun of them. The day before her funeral, he played gunshots over Selena's music and mocked Selena's fans with a fake Hispanic accent. He also said, "Spanish people have the worst taste in music. ... This music does absolutely nothing for me. Alvin and the Chipmunks have more soul." He infuriated Hispanic communities across the country, and a disorderly conduct arrest warrant was issued in his name in Harlingen, Tex. The following week, Stern apologized on air in Spanish, saying his comments were made in satire and not intended to hurt Selena's fans, family, and friends.
The Columbine Controversy
Apparently whatever lesson Stern learned from the Selena salvo didn't last long. On April 21, 1999, the day after the Columbine High School shooting, Stern mused about the "really good-looking girls" who ran for their lives away from the gunmen. "There were some really good-looking girls running with their hands over their heads," he said. "Did those kids try to have sex with any of those good-looking girls? They didn't even do that? At least if you're going to kill yourself and kill the kids, why wouldn't you have some sex? If I was going to kill some people, I'd take them out with sex."
I wonder how he'd feel about his Columbine "joke" if one of his daughters had been walking around Santa Barbara last month. share
