Poor Career Choices

Someone needs to explain to me how Howard Stern, with no visible skills or apparent talent gets an $85M bonus on top of the $100M he is already getting. Then someone needs to explain where I went wrong – I can swear and all I get is scolded for it…

Next: Larry King and Regis Philbin

Howard Stern is ugly to boot. I can forgive lack of talent, but long haired ugliness???

Either he or one in his family is a member of the correct "Boy-club"
like Free Mason, Rottary, Lion Club or one of those...

I hate his show. He is an annoying A-hole. His movie "private parts" was very entertaining though. I tried to listen to him afterwards and still thought he was an ass.

l>t:I think the jingling coming from his pockets attracts some females

Keshi: I'm luckier because I know you!

Jin: He has a huge........wallet!

LL:Right place at the right time, I suppose...

Kirsten:It's who you know, that's true. Are there any “girl clubs”? That would explain Paris Hilton!

FS:He was funny? I did enjoy the oil wrestling lesbian segment on his TV show.

hammer: He used to hawk Snapple on his show – I quit drinking it after that

/t.: You'd've been a f**king natural!!

DAK: Unfortunately someone must be listening to him or SIRIUS would have given him a ride on the size 10 express.

really? awww thats such a sweet thing to say! U just made my day Phos HUGGGGGGGGGGGZ allthe way from Down Under :)

U know its strange how ppl I have never met consider themselves lucky to know me. Cos just now a good friend (a guy) proved to me that I mean nothing to him even after having known him for such a long time. He was getting married and didnt tell me until after everyone else knew abt it. I was kinda shocked and felt left-out. I'll write abt it in a new post :)

/bark bark bark

i think when he started he was the original shock jock. he had the amazing ability to get women to come into the studio and tell him about their sexual escapades...later when he was televised people stripped, girls made out...you know the usual.

think his true gift is relentless self promotion..ive known people like this. they were masters at selling themselves and getting jobs...later it was discovered there was no actual talent but by then the scam was on and the contracts were signed.

its too bad the most banal aspects of our culture, or lack thereof, are the very things to be celebrated and rewarded.
*ptui*

coming here by way of /t and lamby.

/grrrr

Keshi:Look at the bright side - you didn't have to buy them a wedding present. Think of the money you saved! From the pictures you shared and the following your Blog has you won't run short of friends anytime soon.

K9:Thanks for stopping by! You're right. That's how you wind up with Ed Sullivan, Casey Kaseem, and Dick Clark, though I don't rememebr any of them trying to get prostitues to flash their breasts on TV.

Phos his wedding is in Sept. I was just shocked at how everyone else knew and I was the last to know...when I was his closest friend, or was I? nevermind.

Keshi.

It is tough when someone you think you know pulls a 180 on you, but I guess it happens.

It may be because you all are in Australia and living upside down all the time - that has to have some effect...

Not making fun of you, just trying to cheer you up...

Regis Philbin is an annoying little troll. When I accidentally watch him for a few minutes I always expect him to do a jig and ask riddles.

As for Stern, maybe he was Gandhi in a past life.

Good question... I can't grasp it either. Howard Stern is a talentless hack.
