Wednesday, February 1, 2006 at 2:48 AM Hey People , On Sunday's show(1/29 - check out the clip) "Oscar" called in and basically repeated(almost verbatim) the second letter from Dan Savage's "Savage Love" column , only changing the verb tenses to make it sound like he had "done this" several times already (Check out the link below or your city's own fine , upstanding "indie" newspaper from last week - it was supposedly "a fantasy never to be fullfilled") I was screaming BOGUS CALL halfway into it(voice and cadence were all wrong) when i realized I had read the the same story 3 days earlier ! I would only be mildly annoyed at this a-hole( he didn't own up at the end with the " ...Like A Mason Jar" line) but Drew fell for it and actually sounded genuinely distressed that someone would engage in this potentially lethal behavior. So much so that he talked about the call 30 minutes or so later in answering another question . I tried to call twice but couldn't get thru ; did anyone ever call in and tip them off about the gag/violation of the Laws of Bogosity ? I don't blame Drew for not knowing ; he neither has the time , need , or desire to read "Savage Love" or the indie he would be in . More like Anderson or the phone screener that let "Oscar" thru . I'd like to believe that the "AceMan" would have glommed onto it immediately , with some question like " Hey what GUY not only WANTS his wife to screw around but also takes the used comdom and splashes it on/in her BEFORE licking it all up himself ????? Sounds like an instance for that "immediate visceral reaction" to gay porn they used to talk about.......... —Lionskins |

Wednesday, February 1, 2006 at 9:22 AM For some reason I would think that a bunch of Loveline staff would read Savage Love. Maybe it's delayed a week or so in LA's alternative weekly or something. The place I work publishes it in two different papers that come out on two different days. It comes out earliest in the Village Voice (Tuesday mornings) if you're a fan. —bguirk |

Thursday, February 2, 2006 at 1:28 AM That's funny because I thought it was true because it was too funny and I told my co-worker about it and he laughed and said that it sounded like a story out of penthouse letters. Maybe I'm becoming so numb to all the startling tales told on loveline that I'm starting to lose my shock value in reading out a bogus call —rAnCIDsICk@!!! |

Thursday, February 2, 2006 at 8:44 PM Rememeber Rick Moranis in Ghostbusters 1? When he's outside, banging on the glass? And the restaurant patrons just don't give a fuck. *spoilers* Actually, Rick wasn't hungry, he just didn't want to be devoured by a demon. I wonder how that feeds into the thingy i was just doing here now —MajandraFan |

Friday, February 3, 2006 at 7:17 AM CID : yeah the key to the bogusness is that the letter talked about a FANTASY while the caller said he "liked to do this" meaning it had been done at least once . The "watching your wife screw someone else" is a standard fantasy but this takes it a liii-ttle too far bg : if some of them are still young and single , yes cause most people here only read our CityPaper because it does a better job of telling u about city and club events over the weekend than the mainstream newspaper(Washington Post).Also the occasional expose about corrupt city government , and of course a chuckle at Savage Love and News of the Weird. A testament to the power of capitalism that a FREE newspaper can actually make money(from all the ads) —Lionskins |
