Payola: Pigs Get Fat; Hogs Get Slaughtered

Isn’t it just amazing that people making six figure salaries would risk, not only losing their jobs, but possible jail time, just to put more cash in their pockets?

As a friend amply put it, comparing this Payola scandal to the one in the 60s is like comparing a firecracker to an Atomic Bomb.

On the bright side just think that when these greedy bastards get caught there will be more job openings available for the rest of us.

But the vacancies that could be created should a large number of programming people and on-air personalities get implicated by this scandal could end up being filled by satellite-fed formats, syndication and voicetracking.

A large number of vacancies at one time could push one or more group owners to say "We don't have to hire anyone to fill these vacancies. We can go voicetracking/syndication/satellite and save ourselves a heck of a lot of money!".
