Omaha City Council Votes To Demand Apology From KFAB For Parody Bit

[GaryTheThompson]

The OMAHA CITY COUNCIL has voted 4-2 to ask CLEAR CHANNEL Talk KFAB-A/OMAHA for a public apology for a parody ad lampooning the NORTH OMAHA tourism effort aired on TOM BECKA's show. The parody ad cited the area's gang violence and the community's "stop snitching" attitude, but council members from the area objected to the satire. No community members showed up to TUESDAY's council meeting to supprt the resolution, but several members of the public showed up to support BECKA, who did not attend the meeting. The station has posted an apology for the bit online, but is now airing another parody poking fun at the council.

Seems to me that the city council here should spend less time demading apologies and do more to correct the actual problem at hand.

Bunch of whiners.

I love it when local politicians think they can make things happen by passing useless resolutions. I wonder if the City Attorney has shared with them that little ditty called the First Amendment? I'm sure that the City of Omaha has more pressing problems than what some fool said on the radio. Sounds like a bunch of stuffed shirts with nothing more to do than waste the citizen's time and money. Perhaps when these fools come up for re-election, someone will point out their flatulent and impotent actions.

Why not show them my post, and they can vote up a resolution about me......!

Laughing my ***s off in Indiana.
