The End of the Dr. Demento Show On Radio 206
damnbunni writes "Dr. Demento has announced that his long-running comedy radio show will be ending (except weekly in and around Amarillo, TX). Modern 'format' radio has been less and less friendly to oddball and offbeat programming, and after years of declining station membership the Doctor announced on June 6 that his radio show will be no more. He will still stream weekly shows on Saturday from his website, drdemento.com. While I'm sad to see the show go, nearly 40 years is a good run."
Thanks Mr. Hansen! (Score:5, Funny)
I listened to him on every Sunday,
The Funny Five and music skits,
But now that his show is all finished,
I can't help but feeling like
Shaving cream, be nice and clean
Shave every day and you'll always look keen!
Thanks Dr. D!

The corporate whores at the FCC have decide to server their corporate masters
Yes, I too have servered my corporate masters every now and then. From great distances I have hurled 1U, 2U and every now and then 4U servers towards their heads. Sadly, despite their weight and looking very sturdy, servers break too easily for servering my corporate masters on a regular basis.
I'm planning to bring out a book in a year or two: How to server man.
FWIW, I make the same typo nearly all the time ;)

What a bunch of ga-ga. I happen to have it on very good authority that radio is yet to have its finest hour.

This will happen when the FM frequencies get repurposed as a dedicated channel for streaming Internet pr0n.

Lisa: Bart, your mortal enemy is on the radio! [turns it on]
Marty: It's time for more deeee-mentia with Dr. Demento.
Bart: Aah! [tosses radio out window]
Marty: And now, "The Funny Five"!
Lisa: I meant your _other_ mortal enemy. Sideshow Bob.
Bart: [gasping] Sideshow Bob? Oh. I'm only ten and I already got two
mortal enemies.
Bart must be happy one of his mortal enemies is retiring.

I can trump that. I saw the video for it on MTV. You see, long ago, MTV used to play "music videos" which were kind of like little movies for songs. Now, they play reality TV shows like every other station, having been instrumental in popularizing the format.
