This was inspired by, you guessed it, something i heard on Opie and Anthony this morning. They do a thing they call "The Walk" every morning where they walk from the CBS owned radio station where they do their "Terrestrial" radio show to thier XM satelite radio station. there is a homeless guy named Andrew that they talk to occasionally on the way. they did yesterday, and he was bsing with them.
Now, they have described him as being at his lowest point ever, even for a homeless guy. but he is apparently a real sweetheart, he makes a little crossout of pennies every morning on anapkin, says bless you to everyone, and is generally the kind of hob the world needs, if we are going to have hobos. So he had somehow gotten his hands on a nice cinnamon crumb cake, the kind of pastry that they sell by the slice at ritzy bakeries, still wrapped in plastic, but precut. he was very proud of it, and offered them a piece. Jimand Anthony said no thanks, but Opie aske dhim to put it down, and when he did, Opie jumped and SLAMMED both feet onto the cake, causing it to explode everywhere.
You hear andrew say "Hey, I earned that..." they were laughinbg hysterically, but you can tell they felt bad about it. Jim actually walked away before he jumped, knowing exactly what was goping to happen when Opie told him to put it down. To add insult to injury, Opie tossed acouple of bucks at Andrew for his troubles, which were blown away in the wind.
I have never felt so shitty for another human being on the radio, it was just awful. Even if he wasnt destitute living on a sidewalk, it would have been pretty heartbreaking, but that was just the worst.
The funny thingis, they all felt bad for it, and ALL of them were going to give him money today (we'll see if they actually do)
Anyway, back on topic, i was thinking to myself "This is too much, that is a horrible thing they did. THAT was offensive."
Then i thought, "If it's so horrible, then dont listen to it." Basically, if you listen to Opie and Anthiny, odds are, at some point you WILL be offended. if you dont want to be, dont listen. I actually have to congradulate them, becaus eI am VERY jaded, and it takes a lot to offend me.
Poor bastard, i hope they gave him a hundred bucks a hotel room...
