Craig Carton: "A Sex-Mongering 14-Year-Old"

Do you listen to "The Craig Carton Show, Babe (oh, yeah, with Boomer)" mornings on WFAN?

Matt Snyder of Fanhouse.com has an interesting article on Mr. Carton harassing retired tennis player Jennifer Capriati at this link: http://tennis.fanhouse.com/2009/06/...harrasses-jennifer-capriati-on-air/?icid=main

Excerpts include the following comments:

"OK, Craig. You aren't Howard Stern. In fact, Stern would at least find a way to be funny and engaging. This is just contrived eighth-grade nonsense. It requires no comedic talent or creativity. You could grab any buffoon off a street corner and tell him to sexually pester a public figure on the airwaves. The result would be the same."

"The bottom line is that "shock jock" should be a term reserved for people like Stern with some actual talent -- not someone desperately trying to be relevant with an already-saturated act."

My thoughts? WELL SAID!

Your thoughts?
 
Craig was on in Philly on 610 WIP...he was terrible and boring...he got fired for reporting false information as fact about Flyer Eric Lindros...he was often really annoying ...I hate the sound of his voice.. He was no better at NJ 101...very boring and so unfunny it was ridiculous...the question is how is he getting these high profile gigs???
 
I like the show. I like Craig. As I said on another thread, lately I'm finding more of the sexual stuff which is stupid but it's not to the point where I wouldn't listen. Some people won't like him and thats ok. I believe the ratings are decent so I don't see them/him going away anytime soon.
