Now that Netroots have slowed down on the Tauscher hating, they've moved onto another subject to which their ire is drawn, KSFO. One of the diarists on Daily Kos is telling the story of poor Spocko the Blogger. Spocko had a thing about KSFO for whatever reason and decided to record bits and pieces of various shows with the hopes of capturing of something truly appallingly in bad taste and full of invective. Our guess is that he probably spent a good ten minutes or so before he had enough damning evidence. With recorded bits and pieces of the shows. Spocko the Blogger turned some of the quotes into mp3s and sent them to various sponsors of KSFO shows as well as their corporate overlords. The obvious reason, of course, is to show those holding the purse strings just what they are spending money on.

So what did Spocko the Blogger get for his troubles? A cease-and-desist letter from Disney saying he's in violation of several copyright issues. You know the whole, taping and recording without the express written consent of Major League Baseball thing. The Man got Spocko down just enough to get his blog pulled by his ISP. KSFO even put up a picture of him on their web site, something we're sure was accompanied with all sorts of nice compliments.

But this, of course, is a viral age so Spocko the Blogger did what most half-way intelligent blogger would do-- send the mp3s out to into the internets and play a game of keep away from all those corporate entities. Which is where we pick up the story, having heard about his plight and listened to the mp3s on Daily Kos. There's even a YouTube clip, posted above, which plays the mp3s out too.

So the diarist, Mike Stark, is trying to create a "blogswarm" of bloggers out there to try and help Spocko out, the best way they know how. First is drawing attention to Spocko's plight in hopes it'll embarrass everyone involved. Second is to continue on Spocko's crusade and get people to stop advertising on KSFO. We don't listen to KSFO like ever so we had no idea that Match.com advertises on KSFO but it doesn't take any sense of imagination to realize that Match.com might not be the best advertiser on KSFO, although even wingnuts need dates now and then (it'll probably help them, actually). And there's bigger fish that's being fried too, that being Disney/ABC, which mysteriously owns KSFO and sees no problem with airing the stuff it airs despite the obvious fact it's not very Disney and they don't seem to be sponsoring KPFA. Spocko himself is asking people to donate money to various people that are helping him out, like Media Matters or the EFF
