I was reading the latest news post at penny-arcade.com, when I stumbled across the story of BJ in relation to Child's Play.

As many of you know, I'm disabled, and spent many a-nights in the hospital without anyone to talk to, cept a nintendo and 2 cartridges. I really have a lot of love for the Child's Play program, and I've done all I can to support it.

This 'BJ' guy pisses the living hell out of me. I'd like you all to take a look at his site, especially his 'message.'

http://www.1007thebuzz.com/showdj.asp?DJID=15430

Anyway, I decided I'd e-mail the annoying guy, and this is what I said:

Dear BJ,

I've only heard random things through the vine, but I've never had the opportunity to actually sit down and listen to your radio show. Regardless, I recently was told about an air you made specifically discussing the situation where a spokesperson for Penny-Arcade's Child's Play Charity, and how he was late to call your show.

While I realize you're a busy man, I don't understand how 45 minutes can be devoted to the situation of someone being late for an appointment on your radio show. You've shown your audience that you're rich in stubbornness, and lacking in reasoning all together. Had you just accepted the lack of 7 minutes in the interview, gotten over yourself, and just went along with the interview, you'd possibly prove to your audience that you've got a shred of decency within yourself.

Furthermore, above all this, you're completely ignoring the fact that a charity is trying to get more information out about it's cause. A charity that's only goal is to brighten the lives of children. I'm one of those children that knows what it's like to spend a night in the hospital with no one to talk to, wondering if you'll be alive the next morning whether you talk to someone or not.

I ask you if you can leave your self centered egotistical rantings alone for 30 minutes, and offer people like me the chance to be heard, offer Child's Play a chance to get their message out. If you're still so inclined to talk about yourself and your mission (You know, this one: "helping guys across the country reclaim their manhood. It's a mission he calls 'The Testicular Reclamation Project.'" which to me just sounds like you enjoy touching other men's nether regions) than I know a perfectly active community of those lazy x-box gamers that'd love to prove you wrong. Your radio's phone number is publicly available, right?

So that's what Pagewizard's been up to...

Thanks for the post, BTW. I'm glad that video games helped through being lonely. It never occured to me before how helpful the Child's Play thing is.

Too much insult there Kirbs, people don't really listen to being insulted, though I know you meant well (e.g. jabbing at his sexual preference, not a good idea)
2004-12-10, 10:50 PM #4
I honestly don't care. He's going to dismiss the e-mail wether I did that or not. I might as well get in a few good jabs in the process.

I just wish I could listen to the station in case he mentions more about Child's Play, etc.

There didn't really seem to be any insults to me. I think the jab at his sexual preference was more making fun of the "testicular action project's" name, which you have to admit, is kind of dumb.

BTW, anyone think that that site would be a good candidate for Something Awful's "awful link of the day"?
Maybe someone should submit it. But not me because I don't feel like doing it right now.

I happen to live in this wonderful land of Washington, where 100.7 (The Buzz!) is a station. Yep, I live in BJ Shea armpit.
I listen to the Buzz at night, because of All Comedy Radio, and in the morning because of Robin and Maynard (two shock jocks, very liberal democrats, fired from their last station, 102.5 KZOK), but I've heard BJ Shea's shows. Crap.
He once, if I remember correctly, held a contest to see who had the best Incest story. He's a major dickwad to ALL his guests.

-Oh well. It's Radio, it's Washington, it's The Buzz. Free speech for all, and to all a good night.

That guy sucks, I love the idea of that charity, and i hope it continues to be funded and help you. I think I'll send this guy an e-mail.
Sneaky sneaks. I'm actually a werewolf. Woof.

This guy really is an assclown. He throws a bloody like, 4 day hissy fit because the charity was a few minutes late, which was HIS FAULT, -AND- they took the blame for it.

Hmm... Now that I think of it, I think Pagewizard goes by a different name here. It's something that starts with "pw_".
But that's who the website reminded me of.
