Little Big Town Song Pulled from Radio Stations Due to Complaints Over "Gay Agenda"

A handful of radio stations around the country have yanked the Little Big Town single “Girl Crush” because listeners have complained about its content. The track tells the tale of a woman who is jealous of her ex-boyfriend’s new paramour. Little Big Town – “Girl Crush” According to Alana Lynn, radio host at the Boise station 104.3 FM, she received a number of calls and emails accusing her of “promoting the gay agenda” after playing the song, whose lyrics include the following: I want to taste her lips cause they taste like you/I want to drown myself in a bottle of her perfume/I want her long blond hair, I want her magic touch/Yeah cause maybe then, you’d want me just as much. Lynn said listeners have threatened to boycott the station and, as a result, she had to yank the song from her morning lineup. The Washington Post, meanwhile, reports that numerous radio stations across America have pulled the song for similar reasons. One Texas program director, for example, received the following complaint: “You are just promoting the gay agenda on your station, and I am changing the channel and never listening to you ever again!” Take a listen yourself to “Girl Crush” and decide: Does it promote a gay agenda? What the heck does that even mean?!? Celebrities Who Are Anti-Gay and Proud 1. Kirk Cameron View Photo Few celebrities are as vocally opposed to same sex marriage as former Growing Pains star Kirk Cameron. 2. Phil Robertson View Photo Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson ignited a national controversy with his comments to GQ about gays and gay sex. 3.

Paris Hilton View Photo In the fall of 2012, Hilton said: “”Gay guys are the horniest people in the world… they’re disgusting. Dude, most of them probably have AIDS.” Not much we can add to that. 7. Pat Robertson View Photo In August 2013, Pat Robertson said on The 700 Club that gay peiple purposely spread AIDS. Really, he said this! 8. Donald Trump View Photo Trump actually criticized gay marriage by comparing it to a golf game in 2012. It’s as strange as it sounds. Advertisement A message from our sponsor. 9. Mel Gibson View Photo In 1991, Gibson told Spanish newspaper El Pais: “With this look, who’s going to think I’m gay? I don’t lend myself to that type of confusion. Do I look like a homosexual? Do I talk like them? Do I move like them?” Was this a long time ago? Yes. But has Gibson’s recent behavior made you think he’s grown more tolerant? 10. Tracy Morgan View Photo Tracy Morgan launched into an anti-gay bit during a stand-up routine. He balked at apologizing but later did so in a statement. 11. Lil Scrappy View Photo When Frank Ocean came out, Lil Scrappy made a plea to “real women” who want to deal with “real men” so they could “keep the AIDS situation down.” 12.

Ferguson Cops Leave Local Business Owners To Fend For Themselves – “There Are No Police”

Ferguson Cops Leave Store Owners To Fend For Themselves via Fox News Looters in Ferguson, Mo., were met with little police resistance Friday night and store owners say they were forced to protect their businesses with their own guns, Fox2Now.com reported. “I think the first message is to remind all law enforcement that they are hired to serve and protect and if they’re going to sit back and watch looting, they’re not serving us; they’re not protecting us,” Pastor Robert White told the station. A reporter from the station tweeted that police cars were seen driving past some of the stores being looted and did not respond. It rained in Ferguson Friday night and protesters could be seen outside until 6 a.m. Two store owners, standing outside their business holding guns, told Fox2Now.com that when they called 911, they were sent from one police agency to another, and got no response. One of the owners, with a large black gun resting on his shoulder, told the station that police were lined up blocks from the looting, and did not engage looters making off with large boxes from these stores. “There’s no police,” he said. “We trusted the police to keep it peaceful; they didn’t do their job.” Former St. Louis County Police Chief Tim Fitch tweeted: “You did not see “police restraint” overnight. You saw police reluctant to act. We cannot keep stoning the keepers at the gate.” Just before midnight, some in what had been a large and rowdy but mostly well-behaved crowd broke in a convenience store that police accused 18-year-old Michael Brown of robbing minutes before he was fatally shot by an officer, and began looting it, said Missouri State Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson. Some in the crowd of about 200 began throwing rocks and other objects at police, Johnson said. One officer was hurt but details on the injury were not immediately available.

Benzino, Star of Love & Hip Hop, Allegedly Shot by Nephew on Way to Mom’s Funeral

Benzino, best known for his role on VH1’s Love & Hip Hop, was shot yesterday afternoon en route to his mother’s funeral in Atlanta. Law enforcement officers tell WCVB that the reality star (and former owner of The Source magazine), took a bullet from his nephew after an argument erupted between relatives in the funeral procession. “There has been growing family tension,” the local district attorney told the station, via TMZ. The D.A. explains that Benzino and nephew Gai Scott were in different vehicles that ended up side-by-side at one point and that’s when the latter died his gun. He has been charged with assault with intent to murder. The funeral continued without Benzino and his nephew, with the preacher saying the hearse and accompanying limo were covered in blood when they arrived on the scene. Benzino has been hospitalized and is stable condition. Co-star Stevie J posted the above photo of the pair on Instagram, making it appear as if Benzino got hit in the arm. Think this is a bizarre story? Go watch Love & Hip Hop online at TV Fanatic. It gets even crazier!

Aaron Hernandez to Remain in Solitary Confinement, Indefinitely

Aaron Hernandez will remain in solitary confinement at the Bristol County (Mass.) Jail as he awaits trial on murder charges, which could be a long ways off. Officials said it would be in his “best interest” to stay isolated from the general prison population, despite concerns from the ACLU about his condition. The former New England Patriots star and alleged murderer was placed in solitary right after he was booked for plotting the execution of Odin Lloyd . Fearing violent inmates might view the former NFL player as a “prize,” officials have declined to move him out of solitary, saying it just isn’t prudent. They reiterate that given the high-profile nature of his case, it’s in his “best interest” to stay cut off, and he is “doing well” behind bars … no issues so far. As far as visitors go, Hernandez “has been getting visitors regularly,” officials say, though they declined to say who was coming and going from the jail. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges, but police say they have a substantial amount of evidence linking him to the former semi-pro player’s slaying. They believe he had the means and opportunity to do so, blatantly tried to cover up evidence afterwards, and may have been motivated by his dark past. Lloyd, investigators believe, may have had information about Hernandez’s involvement in a 2012 double murder in Boston that he wanted to keep quiet. These cryptic Aaron Hernandez text messages to Lloyd the night of the murder, plus his alleged confession to a friend, were both revealed this week.

Asiana Plane Crash: Offensively Wrong List of Pilots Read on Air After Intern Pranks TV Station

Needless to say, a local Fox affiliate’s report on last weekend’s San Francisco plane crash got the names of the Asiana pilots a little bit wrong … San Francisco Plane Crash Report Captain Sum Ting Wong, Wi Tu Lo, Ho Lee Fuk and Bang Ding Ow were in no way involved in the airline accident that killed two people last Saturday. An anchor at Oakland-based KTVU apologized , as did the station, after reporting the fake pilots onboard Asiana Flight 214, which went down at SFO. “We sincerely regret the error and took immediate action to apologize [on] the newscast as well as on our website and social media sites,” KTVU chief Tom Rapioni said. But Rapioni also noted that the names were actually signed off on by the National Transportation Safety Board before the station’s noon broadcast. Sure enough, the NTSB admitted it and blamed a smart-ass intern: “The National Transportation Safety Board does not release or confirm names of crew members or people involved in transportation accidents to the media.” “Earlier today, in response to an inquiry from a media outlet, a summer intern acted outside the scope of his authority when he erroneously confirmed [these names].” “Appropriate actions will be taken to ensure that such a serious error is not repeated.” “We work hard to ensure that only appropriate factual information regarding an investigation is released and deeply regret today’s incident.” “The NTSB sincerely apologizes for inaccurate and offensive names that were mistakenly confirmed as those of the pilots of Asiana flight 214.” Just the same, KTVU acknowledged that those “names” should have never made it on air in the first place, and blamed its editors for dropping the ball. “We made several mistakes when we received this information,” an apology by anchor Frank Somerville (not the anchor who read them on-air) said. “First, we never read the names out loud, phonetically sounding them out.” “Then, during our phone call to the NTSB where the person confirmed the spellings of the names, we never asked that person to give us their position.” “We heard this person verify the information without questioning who they were,” he admitted, “and then rushed the names on our noon newscast.” “We have a lot of good people here at KTVU Channel 2. We pride ourselves on getting it right and having the highest of standards and integrity. “Clearly, on Friday, that didn’t happen. Even with this statement from the NTSB, KTVU accepts full responsibility for this mistake.” “So again, we offer our most sincerest apology.” San Francisco Plane Crash Incredible that this happened, for several reasons. Many feel that the fake names, while clever, were in poor taste, considering that two people DIED in the crash … not to mention the obvious racism angle. What do you think? Too funny Too far View Poll »
