HOLLYWOOD, CA – According to Media Matters, a recent broadcast of Clear Channel radio’s “The John and Ken Show” included a discussion of the 69th Golden Globes Awards with news contributor Shannon Farren. The show which is widely known to focus on anti-immigration advocacy found itself commenting on the “emaciated” appearance of several actresses. Then host John Kobylt told Farren and fellow host Ken Chiampou that “gay guys control [...] the whole Hollywood look,” and that because “gays like bodies that remind them of 14-year-old boys,” and so actresses have to look like “14-year-old-boy stick-figures.”
Excerpted from The John and Ken Show:
FARREN: I don’t watch [awards shows] because every time I do, I just want to feed them a burger, every actress I see. I just want to feed them, they look so emaciated.
KOBYLT: I know they look so–that’s not attractive.
CHIAMPOU: But that’s the game though. They have to be more emaciated than the other famous actress.
FARREN: Yeah, and this is the timeof year.
KOBYLT: That’s right. And it’s because-
CHIAMPOU: They get jealous and see photos of someone thinner than them.
KOBYLT: Gay guys control the fashion industry and the casting industry and the whole Hollywood look. And gays like bodies that remind them of a 14-year-old boy. Guys like curves. Guys like curves. Absolutely. Positively. It’s biological, because a woman with curves looks like she can bear your children successfully, and that’s biologically what a man is looking for. So, sexually a guy is much more turned on by a woman with curves than these 14-year-old boy stick figures. And that’s how I know for sure, I don’t need to do any research or any proof that it’s gay guys who control the entire casting industry.
These are the same guys that just got fired for calling Whitney Houston a “crack ho” on the air… Evidently, it’s fine to say cruel things about people of color in general – but don’t dare say it about a celebrity who is hooked into the big money heirarchy of the radio establishment.
I like Whitney too – but it’s ridiculous that Clear Channel obviously has their own agenda and won’t tolerate any “1 percenters” being treated as badly as everyone else.
“Free Speech” is ridiculously expensive.
