If Bigfan can arrange to post them, the FCC's enforcement division released complaints received about the North show through the Freedom of Information Act. A number were dismissed on First Amendment grounds, but they're still interesting. Amongst the highlights:

From January 9, 2006: "Mike North, not once, but TWICE said the following...'speaking of sucking on giant donkey penis.' Quite frankly the comment shocked me and made me physically ill that a radio personality, on a show that teenage kids sometimes listen too, would say something this vulgar on the air."

From February 1, 2006: "Instead of giving sports related news they went into religious hate/bigotry against the people of the Jewish and Christian ffaiths. They went into detailed biogted and derogatory remarks about Moses and his life?...They also profane religion by regularly yelling Oh God!"

From October 26, 2006: "This is not the first time while scanning the radio channels I've heard this particular DJ use profanity. On this date, the DJ was talking about mediocre talented sports figures who make lots of money. Twice he referred to a person "bitching" about this or that. About 5 minutes later, he referred to another person as an "ass wipe."

From January 7, 2006: A father of two children wrote to complain about both MVP and SCR. "On both stations, advertisements have become virtually all about strip clubs, how to make your private parts larger, make your sexual pleasure last longer, or satisfy your partner better by increasing your performance in the bedroom for up to eight hours. I can't explain these matters to children ages 6 and 8 and don't want to."

From December 1, 2005 (complaint about November 30 show): "At that time the segment being broadcast was called Mike's Rants which involved Mike North basically ranting and yelling about nonsensical topics provided by listeners calling in. I was shocked to hear Mike North state 'Why call it ejaculate when you can call it come?' He repeated the statement twice."

From December 19, 2005: Complaint because North was "talking about seaman [sic] covered brownies and sex."

From January 19, 2005: Complaint because Mike called Barbara Boxer a "'c-blank-blank-t.' Not too hard to figure out what he meant to say. most of us can spell."

From February 16, 2005: "I would like to register my complaint with WSCR radio in Chicago. This morning, at approximately 8:35, the announcer, Mike North, was talking about the daughter of a recent US Senate candidate from Illinois, and the revelation that she is gay. The following dialogue - as accurately as I can recall it - ensued between Mike North and his news person (whose name I didn't catch):

North: That's right. She's a rug-muncher!

News person: There isn't some other term you could use?

North: How about, 'carpet muncher?'

News person: I was thinking, 'lesbian.'

North: 'Trim eater?'

From the tone of his voice, he found the whole thing very funny."

link?

i have no use for mike north, but some of these are a little, how do you say, limp.

Regarding the "quality" of the complaints, I agree. But that's what the FCC sent. I did e-mail a .pdf file to BigFan, and hope he can make arrangements to put it online.

I'd love to see Boers & Bernsie's complaints.

If you don't like what he says, just flip the station. That's what I do, and the quality of my life has never been better!

I'm sure if you asked, Dan would be glad to share them with you...last I checked, Garcia was telling him he was doing good work based on all the complaints he got about the show.

I agree. I'm not one of those guys who listens to North just to have something to rag on him about. I made a firm decision nearly five years ago to not listen to his show and it's worked well for me. I love coming to the North section on this board to read all the anger and the occasional IkeSouth post though.

"Cowabunga? Cowa fucking piece of dog shit! This game is diarrhea coming out of my dick!"

I assume that's directed towards those filing these complaints?

I remember listening to that "Tyrone" comment. He asked that question to Doug on his afternoon show. Doug didn't know what the hell to say and Pappy ended it with the "I'm not sayin I'm just sayin"

Can always post it anywhere and link to it, it's all I would do

I notice the complaints about him saying things two times. I've noticed the habit before and posted on it.

He's so proud of any little thought he has, complaint-worthy or not, interesting or not, funny or not, and especially when he makes those conscious efforts to be controversial, that he always says it twice. [/i]

Guess I didn't ask them to go back far enough...
