They're gonna BURN for this....

It is a stunt. They are just playing any song that has "sex" in the title
or lyric. It is supposed to suck people in and attract attention. It sure
worked on you!




Well, no...

I first heard of the change on a local CBC AM station this afternoon. They
had a good laugh at the irony of it. Pandering to the lowest common
denominator seems to be an accepted way of fattening the bottom line.


It is not a format. It is a stunt to change the perception of that dial
position from one of an evangelical station to a pop station of some kind...
coming next week.

I wonder whether when you see an inflatable elephant on top of a car dealer
you think that they sell elephants there!

It's a stunt.


Kinda like a shtick. You know, like becoming a fake Hispanic.
