    To boost their ratings. Looks like it worked for Demers. "25 people are talking about this". That has to be 2x - 3x his usual listernership.

    Of the radio host's tweet? To interact with their listeners and generate interesting radio content.

    Of the respondents' tweets? To provide source material for interesting radio content.

    Neither is necessarily "obviously looking for attention", which is all I've been saying from the beginning.

    Could be a fund raiser. Like for a homeless women's shelter or something (with all the pimp talk).

    You are making my comment into a much bigger deal than it is. I feel it was likely done for attention and you don't. No big deal:cheers:

    Lets not go off assumptions and hypotheticals now......

    Jake could very well be thinking that this could be a great event for the city (in which he is trying to get back to) and that may be the only reason he did it. But no one knows, so we shouldn't be assuming anything about him unless you know him personally.

    Your comment impugned the character of someone I know personally. I will vigorously defend the character of my friends from any unfounded and unreasonable attacks.

    It's called an opinion of which we all have one. Is this going to continue to be your act or will you eventually grow up? :beatinto:

    It looks like he responded to a question, and listed several. It seems super unlikely that he expected a response from any of them. But since ET responded, he may now possibly be milking it.

    Exactly. Drawing attention to his show and himself. PPP seems to think it is a negative connotation. Radio jocks do all sorts of things for attention. Some good and some not so good and the reason they are often referred to as shock jocks. They enjoy controversy and do it to garner interest/ attention.

    Now you are taking it way out of context. You don't think radio jocks do things to generate attention? I don't listen to radio much anymore but I use to hear them say all sorts of things to draw attention to their show. You call it interest and I call it attention. It's not a bad word and not like I said the guy was an asshole for tweeting that

    Jake isn't the "radio jock"--Jake is just the listener who was responding to the host, a listener whom you basically implied was nothing more than an attention whore. In my opinion, that's impugning his character.

    Did I quote you? Or are you ASSuming I was speaking to you and only to you?????????????



    You are truly owned.... I am obviously in your head. But since YOU brought me up... I did notice you are being wildy hypocritical... again....

    I'm curious though... wouldn't asking me if I am ever going to grow up be a personal insult, insinuating I am a child?????


    For someone who gets so bent over words and considers them insults, you sure like to fling them out yourself.

    Next time, if you aren't quoted, don't assume. It only makes you look like an ASS, like this post I quoted does.
