The New Don Imus: Bigger, Better and…Blacker

December 3, 2007 - 12:45 pm By Liam - Providence

Don Imus

Eight months after radio-host Don Imus used racial slurs against the Rutgers Women’s Basketball teams he’s back on the air – and he’s not racist anymore! Promise!

Imus (and the heads at RFD-TV, no doubt) must have thought it would be a great idea to prove his non-racial stance by hiring on not one but two black comedians. (We are only calling attention to their race to prove how “un-racist” we are here at COED.)

Diversity has a name, or two names in this case: comedians Karith Foster and Tony Powell. Foster is a Jewish/African-American/Texan who graduated from Oxford (JACKPOT!) and Powell is…an African-American comedian!

Don Imus, African-American sidekick(s), continued wisecracks and controversy – sounds like the show is extending an olive-branch towards its infamous rival.

Will this act of unity (and comedy) scream heavy-duty marketing or turn this never-ending controversy on its ear? Tune in to WABC-AM (or RFD-TV) and find out.

Thank BOTU-[boss of the universe]-Don, and whomever crew, is back on/in ‘communication’ with the outside world. The Jerks that influenced and decided to remove Imus from the air will be punished by Karma in due time. None of the Other People have done .10% of Don’s body of humanity for the unfortunates and sick. Praise be to the”"RACIST”" Don and Deidre Imus.
