Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction was two years ago, but apparently America's still getting over it, if this year's batch of tame Superbowl commercials is any indication. We didn't think Superbowl ads could get any more boring than last year's batch. We were wrong. more ›

We have to admit to being kind of shocked that in l'affaire currently known as Kruegergate, Felipe as well as the other angered players, are getting the brunt of it. They, after all, are the aggrieved party. Krueger's comments may not have been intentional and he could be the the kind of person who loves cute puppies, but it still doesn't change the fact that what he said was, in it's way racist. It's especially a little weird considering this is all going on in the Bay Area, the bastion of "tolerance," "open-mindedness" and intolerance of intolerance. Is it just blowback over the suckiness of the team? Or maybe its just one big huge anti-reaction to all the PC wars fought in our little neck of the woods on a daily basis. After all, it's almost impossible to sneeze in this town without having somebody lecture you on some sort of –ism you've just committed and how you've somehow empowered the, take your pick, patriarchy/neoconservative militarists/multinational corporations. Anyways, for those still looking for an explanation on the firings of the KNBR Three, P.J. Corkery in the Examiner has a pretty good bead on what the what was. The villain in all this? Not Felipe, not Krueger, but Janet Jackson. Follow the bouncing ball here-- Janet Jackson's boob pops out, a nation screams "what about the children?" and the Republicans go into their quadrennial crusade to make the world safe for "family values." As a result, the FCC starts fining everything. Enter the corporate overloard of KNBR, Susquehanna Media, who also own KFOG and the Bone. Susquehanna Media it turns out, is owned by Pfaltzgraff Pottery-- what one has to do with the other we have no idea, but there you have it. Pfaltzgraff Pottery is being flattened by Tom Friedman's flat world globalization machine and so Pfaltzgraff Pottery puts Susquehanna Media up for sale. What's the last thing a company trying to sell radio stations needs? A radio station under investigation by the FCC for offensive material. Ergo and ipso facto, good bye Krueger, Agnew and Rhein, victims of this ever changin in which we live in. So, if you want to get mad, don't blame Felipe, blame faceless corporate media congolemerations! Cause if there's one thing we can all rally around, it's hating on them. more ›

In honor of the one year anniversary of Janet Jackson's Superbowl nip-slip, Neighborhood Public Radio will be broadcasting "Indecency" all weekend from the window of the Artist Television Access studios. The broadcast from ATA on 88.9 will include just a few blocks around their 992 Valencia studios, but long-time Mission rebel radio jocks Pirate Cat Radio will be simulcasting it on 87.9 for the larger Mission neighborhood and also make it available as a stream online. Here's the schedule for Saturday, starting at noon: more ›

Family Guy and is ecstatic that Fox has brought it back for the umpteenth time. While watching last week's rerun, we got a chuckle out of the fact that Stewie’s (the diabolically scheming baby) bare behind was shown with a bit of a blur. Oh, that whacky Seth MacFarlane, tweaking the FCC like that. Funny little thing about the blurred bottom, though- it wasn’t meant to be a joke. Instead, a gun-shy Fox decided to blur the baby’s bum so as to avoid any possible post-Janet Jackson “wardrobe malfunction” FCC fine. more ›
