Silly HOT 97!

When not suspending morning show hosts or hosting events that end in shoot outs, HOT 97 gets slap happy. If you watched Hannity & Colmes last night or the night before you got to see a video of HOT 97's newest cheap thrill. Smackfest! Yes, a contest where two women exchange blows to the face like one of them stole their man. The louder the smack, the greater your chances at winning a cash prize. A representative from HOT 97 defended the event saying that people have always done "silly" things to win money. Silly? "Silly" is sitting in a dunking booth in only a light t-shirt and shorts in the freezing cold waiting for someone to hit the target so you can plummet into freezing cold water. "Silly" is puckering up to a new car for 15+ hours to win it. Causing harm to one's face and body is not silly. Would you call an event where contestants give each other the biggest black eye to win cash prizes "silly"? HOT 97 has gotten past "silly" in my book.

They've just gotten plain "dumb".

I also saw the clip on Hannity and Colmes last night, though that wasn't my first time watching a "slap fest". It's not funny...just sad.

HOT 97 radio has pushed tasteless to the breaking point. Lest we forget about their "Tsunami" song.

Love the blog. ;-)
