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.
