Listened to Farmer & Singleton for the first time yesterday. Farmer was okay, but Singleton was brutal! And this is Chicago radio? Remember that Ted Cox column last year about the "new breed" of sucky announcers thanks to getting them on the cheap these days? Farmer was even making fun of how bad Singleton was reading the live commercials. I kept thinking "who's the kid with the high-pitched squeaky voice reading that?" I can't believe it was a so-called, ahem, pro broadcaster on WSCR. Thanks Mitch. |

Off topic a bit, but I'm SO SICK of black comedians doing the over exaggerated nerdy white guy voice. It has been played out and overused for years and just speaks to the comedian being a hack. Just like female comedians using the "make fun of the things their boyfriend/husbands do" garbage. |

From Season 5 of the Simpsons "Homer and Apu" airing 2/10/1994: Comedian: Yo, check this out: black guys drive a car like this. [Leans back, as though his elbow were on the windowsill] Do, do, ch. Do-be-do, do-be-do-be-do. Yeah, but white guys, see, they drive a car like this. [Hunches forward, talks nasally] Dee-da-dee, a-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da-dee. [Audience howls with laughter] Homer: Ah ha ha, it's true, it's true! We're so lame! |
