A radio station in Minneapolis may be looking for new jocks!? after the stupidity they dared to spit over the air! Here’s the story…. some idiotic talk radio hosts on KTLK-AM had the audacity to accuse Magic of faking AIDS?!?!
KTLK’s Chris Baker and Langdon Perry made the remarks during Baker’s conservative talk show on Wednesday. Perry responded by asking about treatable diseases that a person can live with for a long time “if you just get some basic drugs.” Baker responded, “Like Magic Johnson?” Perry replied, “Like Magic with his faked AIDS. Magic faked AIDS.” Baker said, “You think Magic faked AIDS for sympathy?” Perry replied, “I’m convinced that Magic faked AIDS.” “Me too,” Baker said. Johnson issued a statement Thursday saying he was “outraged that Chris Baker and Langdon Perry would minimize such a serious and deadly issue.”
“Millions are dying from HIV/AIDS, and the fact that they would make jokes about my status is unbelievable,” Johnson said. “Chris, Langdon and KTLK should use their power in a more positive light by encouraging people to get tested for this disease instead of making up such ridiculous lies.”
So what is KTLK’s response: They have responded to TMZ by saying…
“KTLK recognizes the seriousness of the health issues presented by HIV / AIDS — and the great work that Magic Johnson has done … We regret that some off-hand remarks by commentators on KTLK did not reflect that. To better inform our listeners and employees, KTLK will be airing HIV/AIDS awareness public service announcements, and will be reaching out to Mr. Johnson to get his thoughts on education efforts.”
WOWWWW……so I guess I should start feeling guilty if I fake a cold and call in sick to work now? Oh and by the way…my demo is on the way to your station KTLK…so be on the lookout..lol
