> making a joke out of a disaster.

I went a little to the overzealous side in my reply, but I guess my
main point is this: while still tasteless to make jokes about it, the
scale of the disaster in the plane crash isn't even close to that of
the tsunami. Doesn't mitigate the fact that people lost their lives,
but consider this, Howard didn't crack jokes about the WTC on or after
9/11, neither has he attempted to make light of the tsunami (I listen
almost every day for at least an hour, Seattle radio really blows).
Yet he still gets mentioned in the same breath when someone else
does...

yeah, pretty much true for everybody, but the FCC specifically cited
Stern in comments about "BreastGate," and I have yet to be able to
figure out why.


FWIW, I hear Howard's name invoked whenever someone does something
tastless on the radio and gets burned for it. As if there is some sort
of  causal relationship, that without Howard, no one would air
tasteless material, and that just isn't true!
