- A defense of the word sucks
"Sucks" rules!! However, if it still hadn’t been considered offensive for so long, then we would have never had "bite me." And that would suck. - The scoop on the scoop

This just reminded me that the original title of KFSR’s “Great Album Show” was “Great Albums That Used To Be Played On The Radio Before Radio Sucked!”.
Actually, I think it was “Great Albums That Never Used to Get Played On The Radio Because Radio Used To Suck”
Maybe. But I think one of our points was that radio still sucked – except for KFSR. Maybe it was “Great albums you can’t hear anywhere else because radio sucks”.
