JAY SEVERIN BACK AND MOCKING BLACK DICTION...AGAIN

[Casablanca]

Jay Severin is back - ugh and one of the first things he did in discussing the Michael Vick case was to take it beyond Vick's heinous crime and mock the mispronounciation [ actual dipthong distortion ] of the word "ask" to sound like "AXE".

Severin kicked off this race war when Governor Deval Patrick started his monthly appearance on WTKK and Severin referred to the segment not by its correct title "Ask, the Governor" but as "AXE, the Governor."

Perhaps, the forces that got to Imus will get to Severin.

Where is Al Sharpton when you really need him?

 

[Infidel]

Where is Al Sharpton when you really need him?

That's an unanswerable question, since no one needs him.

Severin kicked off this race war when ...

Wow, I didn't realize we were at war.

Perhaps, the forces that got to Imus will get to Severin.

Somehow I don't see Severin apologizing to Al Sharpton, nor should he.

 

[weee]

Eh, what do you expect from an aging racist bigot who can't comprehend that he is a chauvanist about 30 yrs past his prime?

 

[Casablanca]

Yeah, Severin sounds like one of those Neanderthal knuckle draggers in that new cable series about a New York ad agency in the early 60's - MadTV ? or something like that. Except they would have had to find a closet for him...

If Jay wants to mock ghetto diction, that is his right. Just like I will go ahead and mock Jay's wanna-be rockstar air guitar and his stories of as the [EDIT] he's never gotten and never will.

Did you not hear Vick? That is how he talks. Just because Vick happens to be black, a white talk host can't make fun of his diction? And if you're going to go after Severin, you'll have to go after Toucher and Rich and the guys at the Big Show on EEI, they also made fun of Vick's diction. I guess we can't make fun of our lack of an R, or use the sterotype Brooklyn cab driver accent now either, and god forbid anyone ever make fun of the white hicks down south with the hack southern accent. LIGHTEN UP! If you want to hear all nice radio put on Radio Disney, or invest in an iPod.

LOL @ 'no one needs him.'

Perfect answers, all.

 

[ArtSpooner]

I watched/heard Vick's press conference or apology or statement or whatever it was and he did say AXE not ask. Even if he's "found Jesus", I still think that he should be covered with gravy and turned over to three hungry and angry pit bulls.

the hosts on the Big Show shouldn't cast stones... especially Smerlas.

THAT DOLT - DANA HERSEY DOES THE SAME THING

Heard that dolt, Dana Hersey, do the same "Axe" thing this morning in one of his inane liner notes on Finneran's Forum on RKO.
One to many rum swizzles on his polopony perhaps?

Get real GovtMule - Severin's schtick is making fun of black people which his audience eats up. He'll never make fun of Boston mispronuncations the same way. (Let's be a little honest about it).

By the way, does anyone know where Severin is from? He sounds to me like someone who grew up with an accent and has taken great pains to getting rid of it - his articulation is kind of exaggerated like he has to be careful or he'll lapse. (perhaps this is why he changed his name to Severin instead of Severino - can't be sure he won't say Severinor)

1. I like Art's suggestion, but how about those angry pigs from Hannibal? They might be more efficient.

2. Dana doesn't write those liners, he just reads them. He didn't write all of his Movie Loft scripts either. He had very capable producers and directors. That said, he has a voice for the ages and he's an engaging guy, with or without poloponies.

 

[raccoonradio]

Can't GM and Entercom do a trade, where Jay is sent to 680 for a talk host to be named later?
This way WTKK could put Howie on afternoons, where he belongs! (Such a deal would stipulate
that Entercom would not schedule Jay on opposite Howie, though...naah, would never happen.

btw I believe Severin has another several years left in his contract with GM...

Severin hails from Poughkeepsie NY.

If you listened to Vick's statement yesterday you would have heard him say....and I quote....."I totally AXE for forgiveness"......Severin was NOT mocking Vick, he was quoting him........directly..........

They tried a version of this a couple of years ago. In return for Severin, WRKO offered $10,000 in Hearth & Kettle trade chits and Brian Maloney. WTKK countered by asking for $5,000 in trade chits and no Maloney.

Entercom passed.

Ha--Severin used to do a late night slot at WRKO (11 pm-1 am? 10 pm-mid, something like that). After awhile he left because he said he needed time to do other things, ranging from cable TV to "walking with his
dogs on the beach". When he got to WTKK he started to refer to his former station as "(pass gas) AM
radio"

Thanks for the confirmation that Dana Hersey is a dolt !

Because he's voice talent and not a copywriter?

I guess you think Ernest Hemingway was a dolt because he didn't do voiceovers.

Think first, post second (or not at all, as logic dictates.).

Yes Finn you hit the nail on Severin's overpronounciation. He eggagerates his T's. "Nine TTTTTTeee six nine."
From what I understand, he's a Lawnggg Guy-lan-dah.

Dana Hersey works in Boston radio. You don't.

BTW, why don't you tell us which voice-over artists write their own stuff? Answer: None. Are they all dolts too?

You have more baggage than an airport carousel. Let it go already.
