Tom Barnard's "superior" culture...

Tom Barnyard portrays himself as this CLASSY, cultured european
gentleman with discriminating taste. Here is some of Tom's culture:

I'm not a regular listener, but from what I can make out, Barnard's
program is a popular local version of the sort of "outrageous" morning
radio Howard Stern pioneered back in the '80's. Barnard won a
much-publicized ratings battle with Stern some time back. The format,
tone and content of Barnard's program seem to owe a lot to Stern's
"good taste".

According to Barnard, Bachmann had called in the day before her
appearance trying to get on the show, but had missed him. So, on
Thursday, May 12, Barnard asked her to call in again. Prior to
Bachmann's guest appearance, Barnard went into a funny radio "bit:
---the sort of material typically associated with this kind of program.
This bit was about "first date" tips from Maxim Magazine: "In a woman's
mind the main purpose of a first date with you is to figure out why you
are not coitus-worthy." Barnard added: "And that's kind of weak because
you may like her or may wish to fornicate with her..." This was
punctuated by playing a sound byte of a woman who said: "Tread lightly,
who lives in hope of p***y."

Barnard and his crew and callers filled the airwaves with jokes about
men and women getting rid of the clap and trading crabs ("I'll give you
two blind ones for one with no teeth"). Then they took a call from a
guy who told us all about "a foot-long bloater" in the toilet during a
first date. Shortly after another hilarious "I'm Rick James, "b***h
sound byte, Barnard was told that Sen. Bachmann was on the line.
Calling from a traffic jam, she was on hold and waiting to join the
fun. I don't know if any of you have ever called in to talk radio. When
you're on hold, waiting to speak, you hear the show as it is being
broadcast ---it's relayed though your phone as well as the radio. So,
while Bachmann was on hold, it is likely that she was enjoying the rest
of the sexy first date routine and another outrageous sound byte ("I
think what I'm most known for is my "wiener").

Conclusion: I think I would rather hang out with some Minnesotans,
Somalis and Hmongs than Tom Barnard. He can continue to provide
"classy", "cultured" training to his listeners.
