That is way funny. I love to hear Clear Channel get pranked when it comes
to their reputation. Praise Negativeland!

We have a COX adult/contemp(t) station here in Atlanta that advertised
themselves as "Voted number one for the most music while you work", yet
have adamantly refused to divulge WHO or HOW they were voted this
singularly grand honor. The other stations and countless listeners have
been having a field day throwing that in their face, yet they steadfastly
refuse to drop the marketing pitch believing "If we yell it at them long
enough, they'll actually start to believe this shit".

Glad my car has a CD player. I took the antenna off last week when I got
a car wash and forgot to put it back on... didn't even notice it was off.

"...sometimes playing in a 24-minute loop for seven hours at a time."

Sounds like alt.slack, actually.

Second reading:

"Negativland, known for their media-critiquing music collage and
culture jamming hoaxes and pranks, outed KJR-FM on charges that it
played at least 114 different songs from the early to mid-1980's,
despite marketing themselves as being a "Just the Greatest Hits of the
'60's and '70's" radio station. Negativland members noticed that it
was virtually impossible to listen for even a short period of time
without hearing hits from such quintessential 80's artists as Huey
Lewis and the News, Air Supply, Men at Work, Cyndi Lauper, and many
others. KJR recently pushed the envelope further by adding "Kokomo," a
1988 hit by The Beach Boys."

Great.

Dude just basically cut KJR's playlist by a third. An incredible
victory for diversity and the free flow of information.

About on the level of firebombing a public library for not subscribing
to Penthouse.

But you don't understand.

Because of their radical, society-wrenching,
anarchomaterialist psychodrama,

AN IMPORTANT MEMO WAS INTERNALLY DISTRIBUTED
WITHIN A MAJOR CORPORATION!

I think the importance of this speaks for itself.

Next week they plan to leave a paper bag on the
front doorstep of Clear Channel's Corporate HQ.

Just an empty paper bag. Think about how CONFUSED
this will make them!
