As for the analogy, you are still off in what you are trying to say. Stern isn't trying to convert anyone to his way of thinking, Hitler made you believe what his beliefs were or else. Stern does a show, trying to entertain and make the morning not so boring at work. you don't like it, don't listen. The way you are using it almost anything can be used in an analogy with Hitler. Now doesn't that seem foolish.

I'm well aware of what an analogy is... poor example, though IMHO.

Why is it that after every tragic event (school shootings, 9-11, explosions etc) knuckleheads call into TV and radio stations with made-up stories (sometimes getting past screening and on the air) which end with the punchline of "Howard Stern did it" or something like that...always mentioning him! Stern makes money off the misery of others...to me he's the lowest form of human life. If you "get" him...well, that's your right just as it's my right to say what I do!!!

It's a bit like the talk shows where folks go on the air and talk about having an affair with their dog...I don't understand why a person with no talent subjects him/herself to critical review....the Andy Warhol 15 minutes of fame thing I guess. Hung seemed to have a good time doing what he did...I never took that as making fun of him rather him taking advantage of an opportunity and making a bit of money. I actually respect him for that...

Just look at all of the previews showing the train wrecks that people like to make fun of. Also reference the "worst of" Idol auditions, etc. Hung is probably a bad example because he was so funny. If you say you tune out for the first month when they make fun of people, than you are a better man than most I suppose. Do you read Playboy for the articles too? :) :)

Not saying it couldn't be true, but it amounts to about the same amount of people who "claim" to read Playboy for the articles. Like I said, I guess you're the exception to the rule.
