[QUOTE="Lothlorien, post: 35578, member: 1024"] I think you have all made very good points, but I'm so tired of the double standard. I've never cared for Imus. I used to listen to Howard Stern, but got annoyed with him as I got older. I cold care less if they are on the air or not. What's good for the goose is good for the gander, however. I think that rap and music stars/industry should be held accountable just as much. I think that teenagers and young people are listening to that and definitely not Imus. I don't think for one minute that the teenage community as a whole is really listening to Imus, but the rap and music industry is shoving that type of language, comments and degradation down our throats. I see music videos now and cringe! If the modeling and fashion industry can make a stand(finally) against super rail-thin models, then the music industry can set some standards for themselves and say they will not take part in music that is degrading to anyone (race, women or men). If the fashion industry can finally realize the damage they were doing to our young girls, then the music industry can do the same. [/QUOTE]
