I hope not. Cause I feel the same way.

Lykis is unbelievable. I don't know that he's carried in Seattle any more because I haven't heard him for a long time. But he says things like women who have careers are a turn off, says "fat bitches," etc. all the time, boasts about how many abortions he's paid for, etc. Sicko. Sometimes I couldn't help listening to him, sort of like not being able to keep my eyes off of a rat. He is very articulate and does have a lot of wise things to say to young men. But ultimately he's a mysoginistic rat.

http://www.slate.com/id/2163872/fr/rss/ Leykis: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_leykis In a discussion about new FCC regulations on indencency in 2004, Leykis said the major themes of his show are blasphemy and misogyny, two areas the FCC hasn't touched yet. Callers often request to be "taken out" a certain style at the end of their on-air conversations with Leykis. Leykis says, "Here yah go!" and then plays one of the following sound bites: "Take me out Laci Peterson style" -- First, there is the cartoon sound of a frying pan bonk on the head, a splash as the body is thrown overboard into the water, the sound of air bubbles being released from the object as it sinks, followed by a boat engine revving up as he leaves the crime scene. Includes Scott Peterson's fake cell phone call from the Eiffel Tower in Paris, when he was actually in California, saying, "Amber, Amber, can you hear me?". When asked for this particular style, Leykis always tells the caller that he finds it tasteless, and that the caller should be ashamed for asking for it. It does not, however, stop Leykis from playing it. "Take me out Great White style": A clip from the rock band Great White is played, and interrupted by the sound of pyrotechnics, fire spreading, and people yelling and screaming -- a reference to The Station nightclub fire in 2003. "Take me out JFK Sr. Style" -- Sound clip of three rifle shots, from the 3rd story of the Texas Book Depository. "Take me out JFK Jr. Style" -- Sound clip of a plane flying, then crashing into water. "Take me out Hotel Rwanda style" -- African style, followed by JFK Sr. Style. |

What was the name of the golfer who died in his airplane of asphyxiation?
I knew people who dressed as him, with blood marks, and bent club for Halloween. Distasteful or funny in a macabre way? We each have our own line. |

Leykis is completely desensitized and nothing is off limits for him. Almost all of his stuff is distasteful with the occassional funny line thrown in. |

But these virtues don't redeem his unjustified hate speech against women. Amazingly, a lot of women call in and attend his appearances and praise him. I would think this was staged except I've talked to women who admire him. Go figure.
