Crack is whacked, and so are John and Ken. Publicity stunt....?
Shoot, I wanted them to talk about Michael Gennaco's report to the Fullerton city council meeting on Tues. regarding Kelly Thomas.
This is 1000% ratings STUNT.
The legend of John and Ken CONTINUES.
Still trying to figure out who JOHN and KEN are?

"it doesn't matter what they said, it's too soon to be disrespectful. what's happened to manners in this country?"
"well... what did they say??"
"They are suspended until the 27th for making insensitive remarks about Whitney Houston."
I still say that Ken is one of the HOTTEST and SEXIEST MEN on RADIO. I have a TOTAL MAN CRUSH on HIM.
Dirk in Encino!
So much for First Amendment rights. I get that they offended people and I feel that hate and negative rhetoric at this time. But there is an on-off switch. If people aren't grown up enough to use it, then they should find something else to listen to. KFI erred on this one.
correction: *...hate and negative rhetoric at this time, are inappropriate.
