lav-chan Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I guess this goes here, it's not really a political issue. A few weeks ago, we introduced you to Brooklyn indie agit-popsters Kids Against Combs, who’d just finished an album that used the private phone number of Fox News loudmouth Sean Hannity as its title. (See "Combs Nail Hannity," This Just In, July 15.) Sean Hannity (631) 673-8003 was set to be released on July 21 by 10-34 Records. But, according to a press release sent out last week by the band, Kids Against Combs and 10-34 were issued papers on July 15 from Hannity’s attorneys, "threatening to sue both parties if they proceeded with releasing an album named after Hannity’s home phone number and containing the political pundit’s home address in the CD’s liner notes." (The digits, meanwhile, are now disconnected; "changed to an unlisted number," says the recording.) The band also alleges that spies from the Hannity camp — or at least some people who "looked extremely conservative Republican" and "not the type of folk that would be at any sort of live performance, except for maybe Paul Anka or Wayne Newton" — arrived to scope out a KAC performance the next day. Luckily, the band had freshly printed copies of the album for sale, sans home address and retitled The Album Formerly Known As Sean Hannity’s Phone Number ... Currently Sean Hannity Is a Democracy Subverting Douche Bag. Despite the fact that 66 percent of our Style and Usage Panel prefer that "douchebag" be written as a compound word, they’re in unanimous agreement that the new title works just as well. (source) I probably don't agree with the politics of this band, but i loled anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D!ABOL!C Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 He should get all of their phone numbers and put them on his show. Or even better, he should call all of them during his show. That would be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurmoth Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 (edited) ^ Sean Hannity is probably one of the best radio talk show hosts ever! Although, he isn't as good as Rush Limbaugh :wub: Edited August 11, 2005 by Hurmoth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
