Everyone is very bored of this impeachment.
So you try to inject a little bit of humor, and the Joke Police are kicking in your door.
Did you know you can’t joke about school shootings – even in a general sense?
We are living in a Joke Police State.
Pretty soon they’re going to start pushing for a Constitutional Amendment to ban jokes of all types.
The conservative married couple’s afternoon talk show on KNUS in Denver had been going for a half-hour on Tuesday when the husband made a remark that alarmed his wife, stunned their listeners — and soon cost them their jobs.
“All right, Chuck Bonniwell, Julie Hayden here, a little after 1:30, talking about the never-ending impeachment of Donald Trump,” Mr. Bonniwell said on the air. “Yeah, you wish for a nice school shooting to interrupt the monopoly—”
Ms. Hayden quickly interjected.
“No, no, not even,” she said, according to a recording of the show that was later posted by 9 News, a local television station. “Don’t even say that. No, don’t even say that. Don’t call us. Chuck didn’t say that.”
Mr. Bonniwell then tried to soften his remark by adding, “In which no one would be hurt,” and the couple turned to the phone lines.
But the damage was done. The comment quickly attracted a storm of outrage in Denver, and on Wednesday, the radio station canceled the couple’s show, which ran from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays. A statement released by KNUS cited “the history of school violence that has plagued our community.”
That history includes the death of one student and the wounding of eight more in a shooting this year at the STEM School Highlands Ranch in a Denver suburb. And it reaches back to the still painful memory of the massacre at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo., 20 years ago, when two students at the school killed 12 other students and a teacher.
Mr. Bonniwell said in a phone interview on Thursday that he regretted his remark.
“We’ve been in radio for a long time,” he said. “You’re going to say lots of things that are controversial. You don’t expect some things to be the end of your show. You can’t do 15 hours of trying to be provocative and fun, and not say something that you regret.”
“And so you get canceled,” he continued. “And you always know that’s a possibility. That’s just the way the business works. We enjoyed the program and we enjoyed the listeners. There’s no hard feelings.”
In a statement on the couple’s Facebook page, they wrote that “as journalists and radio hosts, we have covered every school shooting and tragedy since Columbine,” including the grief of victims and their families.
“We have a child in elementary school who has to practice active-shooter lockdown drills and, like all parents, we worry about the safety and well-being of our child and his classmates,” they wrote, adding, “Violence causes too much hurt for victims and their families and we truly did not intend to add to that pain.”
And this is the very worst part of all:
On Thursday, to replace the canceled “Chuck and Julie Show,” KNUS began airing a show hosted by Sebastian Gorka, a hard-line conservative who was briefly an adviser to Mr. Trump before being forced out in August 2017.
The Orcas are moving in.
Basically, you just can’t hardly say anything anymore.
The joke is “this is so boring that I’d rather have something horrible happen.” It isn’t an endorsement of school shootings.
Being provocative is a fundamental aspect of humor. Which is why basically, no one is funny anymore who isn’t far-right. I mean you watch late night talk shows or Saturday Night Live, and it unironically does not contain any laughs at all.
And when was the last time Hollywood released a funny movie? That was funny on purpose?
Everything is off limits, and they’ll destroy you if you go outside of the limits. I can understand forcing this guy to apologize – I guess – but firing both him and his wife for a joke that isn’t even racist is probably new.
Do you remember when Don Imus got fired for saying “nappy-ass hoes” in reference to female basketball players? That was all the way back in 2007. They said it was a “racial slur,” but which part of “nappy-ass hoes” is a slur or racial?
Anyway, point being: this is always where it starts, with this evil racist stuff, then before you know it, your life is destroyed because you joked about a school shooting.
And it should be mentioned: there is a big difference between making a reference to a specific tragedy and simply talking about a tragedy in a general sense. If he would have said “you wish for another Sandy Hook,” that would have been very different, because it would have been specific people who (allegedly) died. But saying you can’t joke about school shootings in an absolutely general sense is a horse of a different color.
But the local news (in the clip at the top of the page) went to the father of someone who died in a school shooting and interviewed him!
You want to talk about insensitive – imagine calling up a guy whose son died in a school shooting and saying “so did you hear a guy on a radio show made a joke about school shootings like the one that your son died in? What do you think about that?”
John Castillo’s son Kendrick was killed in the STEM shooting in Denver earlier this year. And he’s like a dumb guy. Or maybe he was just stressed because the news is coming at him with this. But he suggested that it should be illegal to make that joke, saying “you know it goes back to, you know, it’s criminal to yell fire in a building, to invoke that.”
The shooting was done by two homosexuals, one of which was a female-to-male tranny who was on testosterone (which I assume contributed, lol).
Why doesn’t he call for injecting young girls with testosterone to be banned? Or for homosexuality to be banned?
Instead he wants to ban jokes?
Are you just never allowed to joke about anything where a person dies?
What about car crashes? Or hurricanes?
What if he had said “you wish for a hurricane to break the monopoly”?
Thousands of people a year die from hurricanes and typhoons. How many people a year die from school shootings on average? Ten?
Also, yes, he did say “break the monopoly,” obviously meaning to say “break the monotony.” I don’t know why the New York Times didn’t put a “[sic]” in there.
But that made me listen to the clip, and look up the guy’s picture – and he is old as hell.
None of the articles say his age, but he’s gotta be over 70.
It makes you wonder if he wasn’t fired for saying the impeachment was boring, rather than the school shooting joke. I think it’s now considered very politically incorrect to not be interested in this stupid hoax.
But the station is pro-Trump.
Last month, they fired a Jew while he was on air for attacking Trump.
New York Times, November 17, 2019:
Craig Silverman had clearly worn out his welcome on KNUS, a conservative talk-radio station in Denver. Midway through his three-hour show on Saturday, after a segment criticizing President Trump, the station suddenly cut away to a news report, and the station’s operations manager walked into the studio and told Mr. Silverman, “You’re done.”
But it was less clear which had bothered his employers more — the negative views of Mr. Trump that he voiced on the air, or the fact that he had also gone on competing stations’ programs to express them.
Like many talk-show hosts, Mr. Silverman, a lawyer and former chief deputy district attorney, likes to debate and push boundaries. His constant on-air arguments with a co-host, Dan Caplis, helped make the duo’s former show on another Denver station one of the most popular in the city.
But Mr. Silverman said in an interview on Sunday that he sees himself as an independent analyst, not a partisan conservative — and that may have made him increasingly unwelcome at KNUS. Mr. Silverman said the station’s owner, the Salem Media Group, which focuses on conservative and Christian programming, is “100 percent behind Donald Trump.”
Yeah maybe don’t hire people named “Mr. Silverman” for your Christian programming, guys.
Hire guys that make school shooting jokes.
And don’t fire them.
Else you’ll end up with a case of the Orcas, and ain’t nobody wants that.
