Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, author, actress and plastic surgery petri dish Dolly Parton issued a statement yesterday condemning a bit on Howard Stern where one of her audio books was manipulated to form racist and sexually graphic phrases.This isn't the first time that "The Howard Stern Show" has altered recordings to string together sentences, but it's the first time - of recent memory - that someone has actually taken it seriously. The bit was aired on the Stern Show last week.
"I have never been so shocked, hurt and humiliated in all my life," Parton said in a statement on Wednesday. "I cannot believe what Howard Stern has done to me.
"In a blue million years, I would never have such vulgar things come out of my mouth. They have done editing or some sort of trickery to make this horrible, horrible thing. Please accept my apology for them and certainly know I had nothing to do with this."
Parton concluded: "If there was ever going to be a lawsuit, it's going to be over this. Just wanted you to know that I am completely devastated by this."

Thanks Chris!
I guess thats why their called shock jocks.......
eeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrccccch............Crash!
And the zombies say opie and anthony is disgusting humor?
Waaaaaaa!
Now thats a scary face!
Poor thing. You'd think she'd had been more devastated by her plastic surgeon. Where'd Dolly go? Why the Joker face? Sad.
After listening to this clip...I have one observation:
People actually pay to listen to this shit? The bit wasnt even close to funny...and Howard laughing at his own jokes made it even more pathetic! Robin ( hole ) adds nothing to the show and Artie sounds like an after thought!
This just solidifies my decision to go with XM and listen to Opie & Anthony!
XM if you are reading this....RUN FROM THIS MERGER DEAL!!!!
"You know Dolly Partons book just jumped to number one"
Did it?
Dirty Potter played on Lazlow was far funnier than this shit.

Ahh yes,... I'll have to agree, Opie pussified cryfest over the alleged sex tape is clearly funnier. I loved how he showed his true colors and what a little girl he really is...
At least there isn't a large audience that hears those two tools.
Go git 'em dolly!...FCC or not Howard needs to be reigned in a notch or even brought down He is not untouchable.What a piece of trash. ..and pity the society sector that embraces his classless show.
This is where we have "grown" to as a society?Not me brother!
"I have never been so shocked, hurt and humiliated in all my life," Parton said in a statement on Wednesday.
Looking at that chest, I highly doubt that statement.
I blame this all on happytypinggirl and Fred From Brooklyn.

Ha.... Just saw one of Fox News' legal analysts defend Stern after mentioning how he really has to be recognized for inventing satellite radio. Yeah.

Stern is funny but this was kinda weak. Post some of shit good stuff please.
The William Shatner book clips were hysterical! I'm glad I recorded it!!
I hope Ms. Parton does sue Howard - this is ridiculous. Just because he's in a paid forum that protects his freedom of speech doesn't give him carte blanche to violate the rights and decency of others. This material is pure trash. A personal lawsuit would send a message loud and clear and Ms. Dolly Parton has the blameless reputation to do it. And by the way, her blessed endowment is the real thing, as is her integrity.

BUT SOME HOW THIS MADE THE NATIONAL NEWS.....
Robin reminds me of that laughing little bird-thing sidekick of Jabba the Hut on Star Wars Episode I (during the pod race).
If Howard keeps up this garbage, violating the rights of others (which he of all people should understand), it will be his downfall.

Didn't she have an affair with a 15 year old boy? I hardly think that her reputation is spotless. Its not fun. Its not funny.....
Listen up..... dopie and anthony is NOT FUNNY! opie adds nothing to the show!!!! its funny how O&A pests trash a man who DOMINATES SHOCK JOCK RADIO! HES A HOUSEHOLD NAME!!! NO ONE CARES FOR O&A THE 0.0 IS QUITE EVIDENT!!!! HOW MANY BITS DID O&A DO THAT WERE RETARTED?????? TOO MANY!!!!! PEOPLE ACT LIKE DOING SHOCK JOCK RADIO IS EASY!!! NO ONES PERFECT!! ITS THE FACT THAT HOWARD GETS BASHED BY o&A FAGS WHEN
HOWARD IS LIKE MICHAEL JORDAN
O&A IS LIKE CLARENCE WEATHERSPOON
THE MAN MAKES MORE IN A WEEK THEN O&A MAKE IN A YEAR!
Come back to reality people. This is publicity driven suing . A preprepared recording had to go through legal before it was played and even she knows that. As far as the O&A thing is concerned, they would have played it too if someone would have thought of it for them.
tom c. YOU BIG DUMMY
LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
hey tom c., YOU BIG DUMMY!
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
DUMMY DUMMY DUMMY YOU BIG DUMMY! :)
duh duh duh duh duh duh duh
They better suspend him.. naw.. this will be big news and sirius will sell more radios.. if this happens on XM (O&A) they are suspended, bet on it...
>>> This is publicity driven suing .
The LAST thing Dolly Parton needs is publicity -- particularly THIS kind.
>> Dirty Potter played on Lazlow was far funnier than this shit. >>
Agreed.
If the meger wasn't already dead, Hoo Hoo just killed it. Nice graduation present...
i invented making fun of irrelevant old broads robin, hoo hoo
Welcome to the revolution stern shitdicks!!
"HOW MANY BITS DID O&A DO THAT WERE RETARTED"
yeah, they sure are "RETARTED" shitdick.
i usually don't give two shits about spelling errors on the comments section, but if you are going to describe something as retarded, at least spell that right otherwise it just makes you look retarded.
Goddamn I love Nigga caeke
Your wrong Stack. She's got a new CD out that isn't doing the kind of numbers they want at the record company. It's not about money. It's about getting your name out there so people will remember your still relevant. Besides, what's wrong with this kind. It makes her look like a puritan. She's not the one who said it on Howard's show.
"THE MAN MAKES MORE IN A WEEK THEN O&A MAKE IN A YEAR!"
And that makes him worth listening too?
Try again, or dont. Because i will never go back to listening to that hook nose jew. THANKS!
Howard didn't make the news. Dolly Parton made the news. The bit sucked ass and would be a non-issue if it wasn't for Dolly getting her poo-ha hurt.
That being said...it was a comedy bit. OnA and Howard have been manipulating audio for years to make messed up 'conversations' out of thin air. Going after Howard for this will set a dangerous precedent. As much as I hate Howard and think his show sucks...he didn't do anything wrong. Dolly just wants publicity. Its comedy...parody...it wasn't a news report.
You don't go to CNN for dick jokes.....Don't come to OnA (or Howard in this case) for hard hitting news.

Hi Little Jimmy!
The First Amendment protects Howard Stern of any wrongdoing. Satire and parody have served for generations as a means of criticizing public figures, exposing political injustice, communicating social ideologies, and pursuing such artistic ends as literary criticism. Satirists usually find themselves subjected in turn to criticism, contempt, and sometimes, lawsuits.
The First Amendment protects satire and parody as a form of free speech and expression. As reported, Stern has done these bits countless times. Lawyers have obviously given Stern clearance to air these tapes; hence the "bit" continues.
In short, Dolly Parton is a public figure and to prove actual malice is nearly impossible. This is simply a parody--people who listen to Stern expect this material.
If Parton were a non-public figure, she would win the suit. But she is known to the public and released a copyright that can be used as a parody. Therefore, the First Amendment protects Stern of any wrongdoing.
I love Howard, but this bit was pretty lame. I hope Sal and Richard get fired for this one, as they're giving the show a bad name and a shock jock-ish spin.
Dumb cunt
Dumb cunt
WAIT THAT WASN'T REAL i THOUGHT FOR SURE THAT SHE ACTUALLY SAID THAT.
Who the hell is Opie & Anthony....never heard of them!
Who is Opie & Anthony...never heard of em'!
Are them XM's Howard Stern?
Congrats to Howard for his first dose of publicity in this millenium. I see he's doing really brilliant stuff over there. What's next? Talking about 'teabagging' for 45 minutes? Cutting edge. Witty. Not old and tired at all. Obviously, working a few days a week, taking weeks off at a time and having only a handful of listeners have done wonders for him. The dentures are working out nicely, too. I even notice that everyone in studio agrees with everything he says and doesn't even offer a different angle. What chemisrty they have. WOW. And who is that sassy woman who says 'yeah', 'oh my' and 'I agree' all the time? She's obviously a real talent.

Black Wallet sounds like he was never loved. Sorry Black Wallet, jealously doesn't get you far in life. It builds up more and more hatred toward others. Feel good? You feel awww better now? Did you get that little piece off your chest?
Somebody needs to smack some sense into you. Get a life. People in business receive more and more benefits in life when they succeed and continue to grow. Oh yeah, this may sound crazy to you, but when someone produces a product and it brings in more revenue than anyone else in the same field for the company - awards, vacation, extra revenue, and growth occur. I guess you never learned that at DHS (Dumbass High School). If you don't have chemistry, you have nothing. But that's why you hide behind a computer and don't produce something better. Either get your ass on the airwaves and show you're worth a damn, or shut the F-up and stop showing off your ignorance. Stop being so bitter because your talentless.
I agree that the haters need to shut up. Howard is the best. You wish you were him just like Opie & dopie wish they were him..STERN IS AWESOME, and all the IMITATORS can kiss my ass. Dolly Parten needs to give Stern a Jeff smoker for this publicity. YEEHAW
Hey 8:34 (your name is too pointless to type out), he makes valid points. If you're a fan of Howard, how about making some valid points instead of just name-calling?
The sad fact is Howard Stern hasn't said or done anything memorable in years. He is the same juvenile shock radio personality he has always been. If you heard him 5 years ago you won't hear anything new today.
Listening to that clip was lame. I expect that level of thought and humor from high school kids, not someone being paid millions. The audio quality - if you can call it quality - was pathetic and the associated commentary from his sidekicks was on par with Ed McMahon in his drinking days.
Too bad for Howard that this will be the first thing a lot of people hear from him in years, and it is so unfunny. He's like someone's old uncle Howard to makes fart jokes and the kids just roll their eyes. Yeah - you're sooo funny.
LOL at the 0.0 fanboys who criticize this minor bit from the Stern show.
Once in a while, I'll tune in to Obie & Andy just to confirm that they are still talentless, boring hacks. And they never let me down.
Case in point... the last time I listened to their show, they were doing a bit where they encouraged their listeners (all 35 of them) to call in and give ideas as to what job John McCain could not perform. As many people know, due to McCain's POW torture experience he can't raise his arms above his head. So, for what seemed for like at least a half an hour of precious air time, they entertained callers saying things like "John McCain can't be a football referee." "John McCain can't be a Village People member doing the YMCA."
I swear, this really actually happened. I am not making it up. This kind of unlistenable crap is what passes for funny on the shitty 0.0 Morning Zoo. No wonder they are failing on all platforms while Stern continues to reign supreme.

so, you rail on someone for taking a small bit on Howards show, and yet you do the same to O&A.
i am sure if howard did that, it would be awesome material. thats just how you zombies think
so, you rail on someone for taking a small bit on Howards show, and yet you do the same to O&A.
That was the centerpiece of my point, Einstein - how fans of such a horrible show dare criticize a Stern bit. The hypocrisy is all yours, son. And by the way, the Dolly Parton bit was almost a drive-by, clocking in at only about 3 minutes; whereas your middle-aged b-b-boys made their McCain trainwreck the focus of an entire segment. My God, how they suck.
i am sure if howard did that, it would be awesome material. thats just how you zombies think
Stern would never, ever put crap like that on the air. That's why he's The King and hacks like 0.0 will never amount to more than second-rate wannabes with poor ratings.
"The hypocrisy is all yours, son"
First off, don't call me "son", boy.
i like how all you stern fans "check out" O&A. keep telling yourself its to convince you that they suck. i can honestly tell you that i have not listened to anything of sterns besides what they would show on E! or what has been posted here on orbitcast and i haven't even listened to the audio that was posted with this article .--I was never in a market of sterns and what they ended up putting on E! alsways seemed to be the same shit, just different strippers so i just stopped watching.
"Stern would never, ever put crap like that on the air. That's why he's The King and hacks like 0.0 will never amount to more than second-rate wannabes with poor ratings."
I am sure if i was to check out some stern, you know, just to confirm he is washed up---i am sure i can find some other crap that would be just as bad or worse than your example...that is if i was so consumed with convincing myself that my show is better than your show. Although, as much fun as that could be, i have better things to do with my time than to listen to something that i don't give a shit about.
keep drinking the kool-aid with your 0.0 rhetoric.
SatSadMan, I howled with laughter at the McCain jokes you poor failed wanna-be jock. Maybe if Howard still had it or even tried he could have made a whole break out of this bit instead of a weak 3 minutes. It takes real talent to make a great bit out of one joke, especially on FM.
And again, why do you listen if you hate so much? Howie not on? I never watch or listen to something I hate, but when you're a failure at your career I guess you just listen and boil in anger that it's not you.
SatSadMan, I howled with laughter at the McCain jokes...
Er, 'nuff said.

GOD DAMN RICH voss....
enuf already. we all hate each other. that's fine. some hate OnA, some hate howie, and some just don't care, reguardless, fighting with each other over who is better is lame.
if dolly p sues and wins, sat rad in general will just get a little less funny. we all pay to listen. if anyone is offended they should cancel. and dolly should just go away cause she's irrevelant.
heil..
I think the last post said it best. We all hate each other, it's a radio show, get a life and listen to who you like, and don't waste time listening to crap you hate. Chances are, you like it if you listen, you're just frustrated that you aren't getting the same amount of cash these guys are. and that really means nothing either, you can be the biggest dick in the world and still be a multi-multi millionaire and you'll have no friends but you'll be ritch enough to buy Microsoft. But all you got is cash so...Just listen to the show you like and enjoy it.
"Oh NOES! Could it be troo? After all, Tha ViRuZ is SprEddIng!!1! *honk honk*

if thats all you have to comeback with, just keep listening to girls getting naked. from the looks of things, anything more intelligent would just go right over your head.
Whether you like him or not, before Howard Stern came around the only outlet in radio for humor was Morning Zoo's with lame DJs. He did not invent his format but he made it possible for others like Opie and Anthony to use it as they do.All these shows that are any good use writers so nobody is really doing it on their own. All anybody's crowing about who suck's and who doesn't isn't going to change anybodys mind so why bother. Just be happy that XM and Sirius exist so we don't have to listen to Terrestrial radio.

You do realize that the media coverage of Howard’s move to Satellite overshadowed O&A being first to that medium by a wide margin it was a major national news story a full year before he moved. The “Stern Effect” after his arrival stayed in the news for a year after it first made national news. O&A need to get fired or suspended to generate this level of media buzz. A MINOR three-minute bit that Howard played generated the Dolly story. Dopie needed the help of his gay beard and a former employee to make his last blip in the news. I wonder how much he paid Chaunce Hayden to start that rumor? You’ll notice Dopie only chose the media to whine to not the court system.
Arbitron gives Howard 43% of the Sirius AM satellite audience D’OH&GAY drum up a meager 4.9% at XM. Mind you this is in spite of Howard only working when he feels like it, doing old tired lame bits and controlling and the angles. If you’re going to point me to this article cited below then I suggest you sift through the last ten comments in that article
http://www.orbitcast.com/archives/why-arbitrons-satellite-radio-ratings-are-wrong.html#c524394
XM hired a three-year-old Internet survey company to dispute a 50-year industry giant’s results and as an excuse to avoid Arbitron's new PPM on the eve of it's release. As for Pests crying about how hard it is to scrawl X and an M before their O&A, many MORONS have the same problem it just happens that a lot of them are Pests. OK, so how much should Arbitron subtract from D’OH&GAY’S already suckass testicle radio ratings to add to their butt trifling SatRad numbers?

Howard gets more desperate for attention with age and resorts to crude humor to do it.... Basically the lazy man's way to get a laugh. That's why only porn sites, cash advances, and furniture rental business advertise on his air.
Want to know what disappoints Alan the most re: Howard? .... being unable to make a dime on Howard from an ad perspective. No one without herpes will touch him.
Hey everyone I’m an ignorant DOUCHE I didn’t realize Howard did ads for nationally advertised companies like: “VERMONT TEDDY BEAR”, “HEINEKEN BEER” “LIFELOCK”, “EXECUTIVE JET INC” and “DATEK”. I’m just desperate to say something even if it’s WRONG or made up I learned that from D’OH&GAY, sorry everybody. And yes, yes I know no one would touch D’OH&GAY even if they had herpes that’s why we pests call them untouchable.

Well, this is a shocking new development. Thank you, plowboy, for bringing this breaking news to our attention. I will certainly be re-evaluating my Stern fan status based on your wise insight.
