Howard Stern, what is called a shock jock on FM radio was dropped by the Clearwater radio broadcasts network in several key markets today because of the sexually explicit and racist content of a segment on his program.

I use to tune in to Stern once in awhile (pre divorce-which I knew was coming). His program consist of very irreverent, juvenile, and sarcastic humor. As is common in this type of humor groups that are considered minorities are the dominant victims of this humor. Gays, blacks, Latinos, handicapped, elderly, homeless, etc. are all the predominate targets (as is Stern’s right on his program).

His humor has a high sexual content. It is kind of weird coming from a guy who is way past middle age. To get a feel for Stern you could rent his movie Private Parts (C- grade, well made but not that funny. Comedies need to be funny), which covers some of his life and career. It is not a very good comedy movie and only the hard-core fans of his radio show will enjoy it.

I support Howard Stern’s right to broadcast this type of program although I am not really into a daily barrage of this kind of humor. Howard plays off real life experience, which provides some insight into the radio industry, news, and the entertainment industry (and people believe it or not) so why you may think his humor is kind of vulgar and mean spirited you also get some information into what is happening in radio, news, and entertainment.

It seems like the breast of Jackson is having sever ramifications for the entertainment industry.
