So annoyed with Tom Cruise

[FightingTheFight]

. My favorite morning show (Kidd Kradick) grew up in Clearwater, Fl. (their headquarters),

Acutally, that show originated from my town, I've listened to them for years till I learned what kind of an :censor he is. Then he got syndicated to a bunch of small cities.

What's wrong w/ Kidd?

[leslie0021]

Tom Cruise is a wingnut.

And Katie Holmes is a Stepford chick.

I just know they are going to breed.....

(shivers with fear)

Scientology is a cult, not a religion.

There was a case 5-6 years ago where a girl died in their care because they refused to let her get health treatment. She died a long and painful death too.

They use their money to further their cause.

Case en pointe - they take away prospective members financial belongings, their lives, etc. to the point that if they try to leave, they might commit suicide. Well, they also control alot of the Suicide Hotlines, grief counseling places, as well as Cult Awareness hotlines so that if you call for help, you get them, isn't that wonderful???

:no

Kidd is really a jerk.

I've met him, his wife and his kid, I've spent time talking to him. Off the air is a totally different person, he is smug and stuck up. I remember when he was still an intern at another radio station.

I've been in the radio world for about 10 years..so I know most of the DJ's and how they operate.

Are you serious? He seems so nice on the radio. A little bit full of himself, but I figured it was an act. He's involved with Kidd's Kids and all that. It's really surprising. I've only recently started listening to him. I was listening to Mix 102.9 (Jeff and Anna) and they got rid of them around Spring Break and that's when I discovered Kidd.

[FightingTheFight]

Whats funny is that bit of him being full of himself is actually his real side comeing out sometimes. I can tell you some things about kidd's kids that would really piss ya off. I was there the first day he was actually on the air at KEGL.

Kelly is an alright person, her intensions are good but she is a little air headed. about 2 years ago I stop keeping track of that show. I mean their ratings are ok, in Dallas anyway, they are tanking in the smaller markets.


I heard alittle bit of jeff and anna, they were alright but the competition is to great in Dallas right now. 5th Largest radio market in the country. Howard Stern is going to hold the morning slot for number one until he retires...thats just the ways its going to be, every now and then the crew from 104.5 get over him, but not for long.

Clear Channel and infinity are really battleing out. Infinity is getting tons of ratings even though they own the smallest amount of stations. Although the tide is starting to change.

I can't stand morning shows at all, I've been around them so much they get on my nerves..if I listen to anything in the morning 91.7. Listen to "the Journey" Its really inspirational and gets you going on your day.

[Uniquely_Ambi]

I never checked out 91.7, but I might try it out.

Clear Channel really upset me when the got rid of Jeff and Anna. I never listened to morning shows until I moved to Dallas, but got my first job in Denton. Having that commute I got into them. I was very upset with Jeff and Anna left and then got into Kidd Kraddick. They are funny for the most part.

Kelly is okay. She's very negative and doesn't seem to have a sense of humor. I'm also not big on her being thin, but always complaining about her weight or whatever.

It's summer now, so I don't listen them as much. I don't know if you've ever heard the Mommy Test or not, but ti's pretty funny. I bought the cd because the money goes to Kidd's Kids.

I don't know much about that charity, but I've been wanting to learn more. I hope he's not taking advantage of Kidd's Kids and reallly is trying to help those children.

That xenu link was pretty cool. That last link by Uniquiely_Ambi is good too but don't explore the rest of the website. Especially if your Catholic. I'm not upset or anything Ambi...I'm used to anti-Catholic stuff and I'm sure you didn't post that to intentionally slam anyone else. Just thought I'd give a little warning to others to avoid anyone jumping on you. There's enough bickering going on right now as it is. Back to the matter at hand...I found this very very interesting......could explain why a lot of celebrities never leave.

It works like this. Members join the church, begin following the procedures outlined in Dianetics and other introductory coursework, and eventually purge themselves of what they term the "Reactive Mind." This is the self-defeating portion of your psyche, which springs into action at inopportune moments, triggered by traumatic memories. This feat is accomplished through an interactive process called "auditing." which is a strange mixture of psychotherapy and confessional. The subject is compelled to re-live painful and embarrassing episodes, which are duly taken down by an "auditor" and included in the subject's permanent record. The record is maintained and stored by the church. Therefore, the church collects extensive files containing accounts of its members' most shameful moments, things a person would go to great lengths to avoid being made publicly known. For instance, any and all homosexual encounters (defined as "deviant" behavior, and determined to be correctable).
