Lyrics that make you want to strangle your radio

MemberGranted, this doesn't exactly count as "song lyrics" but it still has to do with the radio...
I had to make a four hour drive out of state the other day and left at 4 in the morning. Naturally (and despite half a pot of coffee) I got a bit tired. How did I stay awake? I turned on Christian talk-shows (very, very common the further south I got) and just let my anger fuel me.
It's amazing how alert one can get when they're mad.

I find radio 5live has that same effect. Ignorant hateful cunts ringing in to spout their ignorant hateful bullshit to the nation, and getting little more than "mmm" in response. I don't drive though, fortunately, or I'd be pulling over every few minutes to allow the red mist to clear.

Member@Nzo: There's a certain art about face planting and accurate driving. It's all in the timing, really. As an added bonus, absolutely no one will want to mess with you if you face plant the whole time your driving as they'll just take it for granted that your a crazy badass!
Some of the more entertaining and interesting things I heard were:
1. Opera is a instrument of Satan and "all the young folks these days are listening to her, since she's what's cool."
2. Opera tried to convince a straight mother to become a lesbian so as to relate to her teenage lesbian daughter better.
3. Christian parents should perhaps watch Opera *once in a while* so as to better relate to the sort of carnal sin they need to safeguard their children fromand my personal favorite...
4. It is better to relate to the world only through print or electronic media because t.v. is too addicting. Therefor, look up what Opera has said only in newspapers or online, because turning your t.v. on, even for a moment, risks indoctrination and the loss of your soul.
Ladies and gentlemen... I give you bullshit.

Erm... Oprah?
I was never a huge fan of hers; I couldn't prove it, but I honestly think she's a racist. As for the crap that was said, I'd have to be listening to someone saying it and meaning it for the reaction, but I get the idea.

Jeremy Vine on Radio 2 does it for me every time. Basically he takes the most inflammatory, out of context or just plain false headline from that day's Daily Mail, and hosts a phone-in show where a bunch of paranoid upper-middle class bigots rant about how Britain has gone to the dogs, we need to bring back National Service, the youth of today are all criminals, etc. etc. Has me shouting at the radio in minutes every time.

MemberNot limited to just the radio but any media form - why oh why oh why do we have to add the personal touch be it to debates (have an expert in a field and some D list celeb who's written a novel that is vaguely associated with topic) or major news issues (want to know about the UK adding to the bailout fund for Ireland - well let's just ask a couple of randoms we saw on the street, that should give us the depth we need).
The other one is why is it ok to dumb down science reporting but not business reporting ... oh and one more, politicians etc. are proud to say that they don't/can't use e-mail, the internet, computers - to me that's the same as being proud that you've never read a book.

MemberI'm not a fan of the death penalty, but I wouldn't have any objection to Richard Littlejohn, Nick Ferrari and Robert Kilroy-Silk being disguised as Polish immigrants and then thrown into a pit of rabid Daily Mail readers. We could then solve another problem by filling the pit with vipers.

MemberI always have a problem separating out what certain columnists really think and what they think their audience wants to hear. I can't imagine someone in the Daily Mail writing anything positive about speed cameras or immigration for example, not if they want to keep their job anyway. The readers, well that's much easier to understand - here's a comment from the Daily Mail ...
"Before Gods" creation, there was no atoms or physics or anything else. We are Gods' creation, accept it. If there was a big bang, all the matter would shoot through space in a straight line fore ever in bits too small to create gravity so that other bits would join to make bigger bits and then a planet. Can you imagine how long this would take.If this is how creation was then how is it we have such order, this would not happen with the randomness of all these bits joining together. The big bang is a fairy tale and most people are too thick to recognise this."

MemberWhen I was at university, I found a Daily Mail article that was so ludicrous, I had to cut it out and stick it on the wall of our house. I can't remember the exact wording, but it was something very similar to, "Today, the government gave the go ahead to create so called 'designer babies'. How long will it be before future Osama Bin Ladens use this technology to create countless hordes of obedient suicide bombers?"
