For you Opie & Anthony fans, there were a some 'protests' of the Sirius / Stern Farewell Rally at the entrances of the event. I'm sure you 'pests' will enjoy these pics.

...between Opie & Anthony and Howard Stern. I have a funny feeling that a lot will go down on December 16th when Howard does his ceremonial walk from the K-Rock studios to Sirius Satellite Radio HQ. If you can't make it in person, watch it on Yahoo, because it's sure to be a spectacle.

To add fuel to the fire, this clip (MP3) from the 12/09/05 O&A Show sure has fired up a lot of peeps from both camps. It's even made it's way to Digg. Whether you're a fan of either show or not, listening to that clip will surely be of interest. (Match.com? hmm...)

XM Satellite Radio fans are being treated to a "radio first" with the debut of the "Tissue Time With Beth And Allison" bit. Or so says the press release issued by the "O&A Army." An obvious swipe at Howard Stern's bit "Tissue Time With Heidi Cortez" on Sirius - the press release, craftily put together by some knitters, even made it's way to industry publication FMQB.

Hilarious.

(thanks Frank!) 

For those of you who aren't familiar with this, Opie and Anthony have been holding an ongoing Assault on the Media competition where fans attempt to interupt live reporters to promote the show. The rules are simple: get on camera and try to yell "Opie and Anthony, XM Satellite Radio!" with a sign if at all possible. It's perfectly legal as long as you don't touch the reporter.

Unfortunately, an O&A fan took it a bit too far and blew an airhorn into the ear of a WABC reporter. This could be considered Assault (literally) if damage was done. WABC still hasn't pressed charges and we still don't know whether any real damage was done (he's being checked by a doctor) but the beginnings of a press frenzy are already firing up. Why? Because the media hates this stuff, especially anything that exploits their hacky reporting techniques. NJ Governor Richard Cody even issued a statement about this.

Am I condoning blowing the airhorn? No of course not, but I just hope this isn't going to get twisted by the media into something it's not. Still this is great publicity for Opie and Anthony while Howard is on his media blitz. Pushing the limit is something both Stern and O&A are great at doing.
