The Shrine is Dumb.

[ILikeMoney]

If I were an advertiser, I'd take one look at the Shrine and think..."Hm. Look...all of 30 or 40 female listeners...some covering their tits. Eh. Weelll, I don't think my product will work here."

Please.

The Shrine needs to go if FTL is going to get anywhere as big as Rush and Neil. They don't have shrines. They have female listeners. It's dumb to think that if the Shrine wasn't on the web site that no one would think women listen. OF COURSE they do.

Did any of you graduate from Collidge...er, college? Your business model is flawed if you think half-naked women will appeal to advertisers that buy ads on a political talk show, let alone give your political movement any credibility.

The Shrine itself is self-defeating because it only shows the women that send a photo in, not the thousands that listen to FTL. Who's to say that an advertiser wouldn't think, "Gee, I thought you had more female listeners than this...but if this is it, and hey...some of them are showing tittie, well, I guess they probably don't think too hard about buying stuff, let alone politics."

It doesn't prove anything regarding female demographics for the show. Nothing. It's Ian's little homage to Phil Hendrie, who I love, and who had a really funny show. But this is politics, not prank phone calls.

Perhaps when you all are much older, say 27 or 28, you'll feel differently about this.

Moving on, can we get off the fucking Jew thing?  Jews were (still are somewhat) an oppressed people -->  War  -->  Lots of dead Jews -->  No more Jews in concentration camps -->  Hitler dies -->  War over -->  World rebuilding  -->  Jane is a Jew -->  EVERYBODY PANIC!  Wait...what?

We get it.  I have a lot of respect for Jane for many different reasons.  I do not take issue with her in the slightest, save for the part where somebody, if not Jane herself, mentions that she is a Jew almost every time she posts.  Again I say, we get it. 

Aww!  Yayyy, flattery.

I was trained to mention the Holocaust at the drop of a hat, Lindsey.  I'm a special kind of Jew, I come from a secular Jew who didn't believe in God or any of the Jewish bullshit and felt really, really guilty about it.

Sorry, I couldn't help myself for being offensive and dumb at the same time....

Lindsey,
I wish you post more often longer comments like the one a few posts above (and for that one +1). They tend to be more interesting than short posts.

Thank you Gordee.  I'm usually pretty short on time, so a large chunk of what is here gets ignored, unfortunately.  Right now I'm sitting here at my desk putting on makeup, because I'm getting ready to go to work here shortly, and reading a few posts.  I'm really going to try to delve back in to this beast and join the debating and such, like I used to.

Just never forget, though the nazis wiped out a large segment of the jewish population, jews have carried out their own genocides, presumably commanded by god. Pick up a chumash at any bookstore and read for yourself. Just look at the events leading up to the exodus: god and Moses hatched the first-ever genocidal terrorist conspiracy.

So Moses pwnt Egyptians?

I believe he's 25 now, possibly 26 already. 

I thought he was 27.

I don't know.  But his big revelation is soon to come, or has passed already.   

[money dollars]

No, I don't know. He is probably 26.

I don't find body waxing painful or unpleasant.  I have it done every three weeks.  To my butthole.

I trimmed my facial hair for the first time this year the other day.

And I must like jews, cus I have 5 lbs. of matzo bread in my car. It was over half off,  only $4.99. The jew in me took over and had to buy it.

That's if you believe crap that was written thousands of years ago. 

[ReverendRyan]

Just pointing out the whole persecution complex, that's all.

Are we seriously arguing whether the Holocaust was bad? The fuck? We get it, YOU ARE A JEW. Cun grah jew fucking lay shuns.

Do Protestants feel the need to bring up the Spanish Inquisition? Do they need to remind people that burning Protestants at the stake was bad? Do blacks need to bring up slavery all the time? Do we need a reminder that slavery is a bad thing? No, because we can respect people as individuals and do not define them by an event that happened to an ethnic group that they descended from a long time ago. Shut the fuck up. If you want to talk about the Holocaust and remind people that it was bad, make a thread about it. I already know the Holocaust was horrific and won't enter. Goddamn.

In a few thousand years people will probably forget or not care that The Holocaust or WWII even happened.

I have a wife.

I have a wifey. And my bitch is my babies's mama.

-- Bridget

Probably not.  Egyptians kept pretty good records of slavery and the like, and so far history has yet to find records of Jewish slaves.

...which, you know, was written by Jews.  Honestly, if the Old Testament was written as PR then somebody seriously needs to be fired.
