OTTAWA PIRATE RADIO STATION SHUT DOWN

Industry Canada an the RCMP raided and shut down the radio station of Jayhaed Saade recently. Saade vows he will return to the airwaves with a more powerful transmitter, as well as starting a TV station. On Saturday, Saade broadcast a 30-minute rant online where he talked about the raid and his future plans. This whole saga started to take a turn for the bizarre when he shouted out, "Kill you, kill you" over a song and said he took a whole bottle of Advil after the raid to calm down. At one point during a broadcast early that morning, a man, most likely his father, came into the room and told him to go to bed, to which Saade replied that the man was "stupid." Still, I support this boy in his efforts, though I do think he should not do some of the things he is doing. You don't want to antagonize the police and Industry Canada any more than you have to. Also, don't shout at your father like that. "Honour thy mother and thy father" and that's the bottom line because God said so. This has of course raised the ire of people who say, "this is why we need regulations for broadcasting." The writer from the Cornwall Free Press was particularly idiotic, not liking the fact that he was "dropping f-bombs." Oh, is it 2004 already? This writer is apparently Mongolian because she only has one name identifying her on the paper's website, Lorna, as Mongolians do. She objects to Saade's use of the f word. While I do not approve of swearing, I assume none of these people ever watch many movies or TV shows or read many novels or even go out on the street. The f word is everywhere. This is particularly ironic/hypocritical coming from a journalist. Journalists and other media people have some of the filthiest language around. Lorna the Mongolian also objects to his wishing people dead. I thought this was a free ****ing country. Aren't we free to "wish" for, hope or dream of anything we want? In fact, I "wish" most of the people in the radio industry were dead. Most Canadian and American radio is complete garbage. When I think of how much worse it has gotten even in the past seven years it is just astounding. If most of the people in the Canadian and American radio industry died, maybe some better, younger, and talented people could take over and make radio exciting and worth listening to again. As was said at the NAB convention a few months ago "we are an industry of old men." Look at the big American broadcasters. The managers are in their fifties and sixties at least, most of the big-time syndicated talk show hosts are in their fifties and sixties as our most newspeople. Even Anderson Cooper, the supposed wonderkind of CNN is 42. Rush Limbaugh has had numerous health problems: how much longer is he going to be alive? Thus, I wish most of the people in this industry were dead. As for wishing people dead, same goes for most of the people at Chatalaine, including the writer of that "Parenting By Panic" article I wrote about below. When they are dead, we can get real information out instead of content that just serves corporate and government interests. Maybe when Jayhaed Saade (see, John Milkey, you kike, I'm willing to identify him) puts his TV station on-air, Ottawa will finally have a good TV station. I've written about the lack of local content on "local" TV stations before so I won't go into it here. One of the commenters said Saade's father was running "an illegal business." Since when are strip clubs illegal? Also one of the people who commented on the Cornwall Free Press article took the usual Canadian conservative attitude against immigrants who come here and break our laws. Actually Miss Commenter, we shouldn't allow any immigrants in the country whatsoever unless possibly they're Christians. How do you like them apples? I will listen to Saade's rant-or at least the two segments I downloaded from Milkman since John Milkey is such a crummy web designer and the link to the first segment lead to the third segment. If it contains anything interesting, I'll post about it.
