If you've ever listend to Jack FM (FM radio), regardless of the city you live in, you still hear the same obnoxious announcer with his stupid one liners and whiney witless remarks. How much do they pay this retard? I've had dumps that sound funnier than the canned humour that comes out of this DJ's mouth.

Obviously this is a homogenized radio network, and this is a half-assed attempt at creating an edgy, witty personality targeted at the 20 and 30-somethings, but man, nothing makes me hunt for my iPod faster than twenty seconds of the Jack FM announcer. Corporate radio is really fucked up, and it's sad and pathetic that most of the "popular" radio stations are all just vanilla-flavoured toppings for a bland music playing formula.

I miss the radio stations that had some snap--stations that played whatever music they felt, took requests, made smart-ass remarks that were relevant to local culture, and even made the odd slip-up or two to prove that they were human. But these days, regulators, the RIAA, and "big business" decided that Joe Public should be programmed to listen to what the corporations think they should listen to, instead of the people telling the radio stations what they want to hear.

It's no wonder that MP3 players have taken over--they've had enough of this shit! I swear if I hear that radio announcer's voice one more time, I'm going to throw my portable radio into a lake and see if I can't get permanent earplugs installed so I'll have to be tortured by that grating, robotic whiner. Fuck him and his radio network. Viva la digital revolution!
