Rumor Has It Pt. I- follow up

The new owner of WSOY is not going to take the station off the air. Instead there will be a format change. The Tom Joyner Morning Show and the Michael Baisden Show will be taken off the station format. The reason for elimination the two programs are they are viewed as being racially divisive. The new owner has stated it is difficult to sell advertising spots because of views expressed on the Joyner and Baisden Show. The station will play more music during the day and concentrate on ad sales. What say you?

Rumor Has It Pt. II

This goes in the “Oh no they didn’t” or “what were they thinking” file. Rumor has it that on “black” Friday Kmart and Sears, were so moved by compassion for the citizens of Decatur that they approved many and I mean many people for store credit cards. The recipients of the credit card were not the usual pretty good credit type shoppers. Oh no! These credit card recipients were from the lower echelon of the credit scale.

As the rumor spread throughout the inner city of the generosity of Sears and Kmart, many of the lowly, disenfranchised, and non-mobile shoppers forged their way to the two promised lands successfully navigating the customer service counters to hit the JACKPOT. Many of the credit challenged and unemployed were rewarded with … Are you ready for this $2300-5000!

In the check out line shoppers reported hearing the beneficiaries boldly proclaiming "I ain't paying this back" and they (Sears and Kmart) were dumb enough to give me a credit card. Needless to say the inventory of plasma, LCD and DLP televisions were depleted. Then the electronics were hit next. The term “black” Friday has a new special meaning to Decatur. What say you?
