"There were some really good-looking girls running out with their hands over their heads. Did those kids (the suspects) try to have sex with any of the good-looking girls? They didn't even do that? At least if you're going to kill yourself and kill all the kids, why wouldn't you have some sex? If I was going to kill some people, I'd take them out with sex." The Show is heard on Chancellor Media's KXPK 96.5 FM (The Peak) in Denver. Chancellor Media, The Peak, and Stern have all apologized for this.

Archives Home / Main Page Archives What? What? NOTE: I've only left this page here for historical reasons. Any links & phone numbers listed here have been disabled/blocked... The info on this page is old (the reason why it was moved to 'Archives'). Please do not try to contact stations over what you read here (some of these don't even exist anymore). Here you will find some info about some unacceptable comments and other stuff related to the shooting, broadcast by radio and / or TV stations I received an e-mail about a 'joke song' made for the one year anniversary of columbine. There has been no mention that I know of about this in the media so I am posting it here to spread the word. I don't consider this song a joke but more a very crude attempt at humor. the e-mail I received is below: Dear Sir or Madam, I think that you should be made aware of the fact that on the lst anniversary of the horrific Columbine massacre, two radio talk show hosts on WNEW-NY 102.7 FM called Opie & Anthony, saw fit to mark the occasion with a light-hearted song recalling the events of the sad, horrendous day in our history. The song was done to a melody like "The Brady Bunch" or some other tune that we are all familiar with. They made sure it included a barrage of gunfire; screaming, crying; sounds of chaos; words like blood & guts and, of course, the inevitable trenchcoats. The intro of the song dealt directly with the Columbine name & date. The show airs between 2:00 p.m. & 7:00 p.m. which, of course, assures us that teenagers are listening. I am on a mission to get these two despicable people off the air for a number of reasons and this one is way at the top of my list. It's interesting to see that some people are taking offense at the current Bruce Springstein song alluding to the Amadu Diallo (NY) shooting, but nothing is being said about these two sick people joking, at length, about the Columbine massacre. It is appalling and disgraceful that they, Opie & Anthony, on the anniversary of that horrific day, got away with doing something so shameful without even a whimper from the public. I hope that you are as outraged as I am and plan to do something about it. The parent company of WNEW-FM is Infinity Broadcasting.

Did those kids (the suspects) try to have sex with any of the good-looking girls? They didn't even do that? At least if you're going to kill yourself and kill all the kids, why wouldn't you have some sex? If I was going to kill some people, I'd take them out with sex."
