Welcome to the last day of January chuckleheads.
I hope that you realize that 1/12th of another year has passed, and more importantly, I hope that you have given the forgone 8.25% of 2012, a robust 110% of your effort.
I know that we here at I’m With Stupid, have done just that. In fact…
While our radio show has been airing for well over a year, Jayman and I have been doing the I’m With Stupid website for less than a year, since late June of 2011 to be precise, and what wonderful accomplishments have we packed into these several months which include the aforementioned 1/12th of 2012?
Well…while nothing monumental or civilization changing, there are more than a few notable items of accomplishment which to, um….note.
In addition to trying to be funny both on the air and on this site, Jayman and I like to set the record straight about our society, as he or I see it.
Sometimes, that means, going after “the establishment”. And when I say establishment, I don’t merely mean the government. I mean corporations, private organizations, and yes, sometime individuals as well.
Jayman and I have done that several times over the preceding months, and let me tell you, and let it be a lesson to you…
Speaking out on a public forum such as this site, or our radio show, is not only cathartic, it can and does bring results.
As a united front, Jay and IWS have helped a hot babe slam Google over its puritanical censorship, and they finally acquiesced, and her allowed to post a Karaoke video of HERSELF.
After an outcry brought upon by Jayman and IWS, re-runs of Oprah at 11 PM on Ozarks CW are a thing of the past, and M*A*S*H episodes have been brought back.
Through threat of a boycott, and public, quasi-humiliation brought on by IWS, Time-Warner fixed the internet connection here in the Bagwine digs, by replacing outdated cables.
We called the Gingrich comeback long before paid TV pundits, as well as the Herman Cain endorsement of, "We the People."
Yet...
Because of our satire, rapier wits, and outcries for public justice, we have also been blocked on social media venues such as Twitter, by the likes of Joe Scarborough, Neal Boortz, and, of course Esquire’s own, Scott Raab, among others.
Yes, the pendulum of justice swings both ways when voicing one’s opinions, however, the fact of the matter is…
When one allows their voice to roar through the garble of everyday hyperbole and white noise of life on a platform like IWS whose numbers are pretty damn good by the way, you get a reaction.
It may be positive. It may be negative, but the most important thing is…you are heard.
Take for instance, the following…
A couple of months ago, IWS published an article about how insufferable Ohio State football fans are.
We were lauded and our article picked up by, and shouted out by, one of the biggest talk radio stations in the country, 700 WLW.
That is the good side of the pendulum. Now, fast forward to this 1/12th of 2012. Just recently I wrote an article about how God-Awful, I thought morning guy Doc Thompson of 700 WLW is…er…was…er…whatever.
Many a Clear Channel big wig read said article and yesterday? It was announced that Doc Thompson had been fired. During his honeymoon no less. While we delight in Doc’s passing from the air waves of WLW, we regret the unseemlyness of the timing. Ouch!!
On the upside of the pendulum…
Our guy…er…potato man, Spuds Tuberosum, recently exalted the deliciousness of the potato and scoured in outrage over the failed attempts by the Obama Administration to remove it from the school lunch menus.
What did we get in return?
A very nice email from Marie Joanis who works for the National Potato Council, and no, I’m not kidding. It was very nice of her and her organization to follow up with us. We appreciate that immensely.
Anyhoo, and I guess what my limited learnin’ is trying to say, is…
Words do have power. When you sift through all the hyperbole, satire, offensiveness, and sometimes profanity of the words that appear here on I’m With Stupid, there is common sense, and evidently, some people listen to that, see through that, and do the right thing, based upon that.
When you out bad things publicly, or laud good thing publicly, things happen…and we would like you to join us.
We are happy that you read and/or listen to our radio show, but help our voices be even louder by writing a blog post for IWS or chiming in on the radio show. It’s that easy, and we welcome your voices.
For IWS, and on behalf of Jaymanunless he doesn’t like this post, I bid you…let it out, let it go, and bring it here...to IWS.
Cheers!!
