Some nice shots of Fred's work area. He has two mice, an audio console and various other equipment, four monitors (at least two showing Prophet), plus a little screen that appears to show the HowardTV camera feed of Howard.

So that explains why Lisa Lampanelli is the 2nd most frequent guest on the show next to Joan Rivers...

But speaking of frequent guests, and one that I actually enjoy on the show, it looks like Tracy Morgan was having some fun last night at the Knicks game (Howard was there, too):

This reminded me of something from a few years ago. THey played a clip of Imus, who had some guy on his show call up, doing an "I is be black" routine, talking about how he banged Beth O, trashing her and so on. Howard and Beth were upset, rightfully so I guess. But Howard got SO pissed off "they were implying that she has sex with BLACK MEN" A WHITE WOMAN HAVING INTERRACIAL SEX WITH A BLACK MAN. Insert sal apology joke here. And then he has a porn star in the sutdio, "you ever do scenes with black guys?. Yes? Really"!!
THen a regular girl who happens to be a guest, "You've had sex with black guys? WOW, you're so wild"!!

Black men, people, BLACK MEN.


And don't forget that according to Howard, Fergie must be constantly getting hosed by the other members of the Blackeyed Peas, because BLACK MEN can't not gently caress a white girl if they are around them too much. Regardless of the fact that they are co-workers and professional performers, and that she is married.

I think Howard's racism is more insidious because it is derived from his inadequacy over his dick and therefore he fears hugely endowed BLACK MEN and their ability to steal white women because every girl just wants a massive dick up in them and would leave Howard the second they got a hard loving from a black dick.

Howard mentioned that his new phone is constantly "learning" things about him and configuring itself to anticipate other things he would like, which prompted Robin to blurt out that she is getting worried that computers are getting too smart and that they may take over humans like in Terminator very soon.

So apparently Skynet was just a big collection of cookie files.

"YO yo YO HOWARD YO HOWARD I LOVE HIM!"

"Excuse me ma'am, but who do you think is worse: the black terminator taking over the world or Howard Stern?"

"Howard Stern is a pig and obnoxious and he's a horrible person."

The difference is I find Lisa hilarious. Plus, you know, I do find it interesting that she *claims* to love having interracial sex with BLACK MEN. Joan Rivers on the other hand, I don't find too interesting.
I'm not sure who I would rather gently caress though.

I think you're forgetting Howard's age and environment. He was born in the 50s and would have been taught the standard beliefs about black people that a white guy from the 50s would've had -- even if he's tried to grow past it, some of it will linger. He also came of age during the 60s, the time of black nationalism and white flight -- and growing up in New York means he was in an epicenter for a lot of that. I'm not going to apologize for him, but given that upbringing you can't expect him to be Mr. Enlightened. He's still got his moments, but he's light years ahead of the horrible racial caricatures that he considered "edgy" back in like 1988.

I don't think he's a racist, but he's definitely got serious issues with inadequacy. This might be the root of his success AND his neuroses.

I don't think he's a racist either, at least not in the strict sense of the word (seeing certain other ethnic/social groups as being inferior, or so fundamentally different that they can't be related to). I just think he's a product of his times. As a guy who's pushing 60, he's got an outlook that people born in later decades can't really process, because it's rooted in ideas on race & society that most of us consider outdated now. Hence the apparent preoccupation with white dudes banging black chicks -- he probably doesn't hate black dudes, or white chicks who bang black dudes, but he was raised at a time when that was a big no-no and I imagine some of that attitude is still in him somewhere.

Does it make more sense if I say it that way?

I gotta say, pico, your avatar could pass for a young John Hein.

Also, I have to disagree with something. Howard wasn't imbued with the fifties view of black people. His mother was very liberal as he's said time and time again on the show. She liked black people and tried to teach Howard to " not be afraid of black skin"

He just told a story last week about his mother's black friends one of whom had an accounting firm.

Do you guys listen to the show?

Could be, I mean I don't know. I guess Ray Stern's motivations are completely up to speculation.

One thing is for certain though, apart from the racial thing, that woman destroyed him. She's the reason he's in therapy and the undeniable pinpoint source for ALL of his neuroses.

Yeah, but the way he gets about the black men/white women thing shows a base racial issue that is hidden in the fetish. Stern loves degrading women, and sees white women sleeping with black guys as degrading. Plus, the idea of black men having enormous penises is always bought up in that context as well. It could be a reaction to the norms of the '50s that created the fetish, but at the root of it is a racial stereotype. Howard isn't a Klan member, but there's a lot of shades of gray in racism and having a sexual fetish based in it is quite disturbing.

chiz posted:

At this point he should shoulder some of the blame. It's hard as hell to erase neuroses and deal with them, but his fortune has insured that he will never get real help for them. He's going to pick and choose therapists and use the old 'give me a pill for it' standby and never confront those issues. If he was a regular joe, he probably could make some headway. Given his fame and fortune, he's never going to have a fulfilling life where his problems are actually dealt with.
