Every day I hear this local radio station (KYA-FM/Old Gold, SF, CA) pitch
their "30 SOLID MINUTES OF UNINTERRUPTED MUSIC!!"  And guess just how I know
that it's so--becuase THE INSIPID FUCKHEADS INTERRUPT THE MUSIC EVERY GODDAMN
7 MINUTES TO TELL ME!

Okay, so I call the station, and on the 232nd ring the DJ answers.  I ask,
"How can you read the word `Uninterrupted' in the middle of an interruption?
Do you think you might possibly be bit more contradictory?"  The reply, "Well,
I just read what's on the card."  Or, reinterpreted, I'M JUST AN AUTOMATON,
I HAVE NO INFLUENCE HERE, THEY MIGHT AS WELL AUTOMATE THE STATION, THE PROGRAM
DIRECTOR LEFT HIS BRAIN AT HOME.

Come on, the dictionary has this to say:

    INTERRUPT, v.t., 1. to break off or cause to cease, as in the
    middle of something.

I don't care how musical the DJ's voice is, their banal rerererestatement
of what they're doing, plus the obligatory station identification is very
much an interruption.

THEY ARE LYING SCUM, AND THEY SHOULD NOT BE ENTRUSTED WITH OUR AIRWAVES!
