Atlanta Shock Jocks Suspended

by TChris

After Janet Jackson brought the free world to the brink of disaster by briefly exposing her nipple during Superbowl halftime, Clear Channel Communications -- the mega-broadcasting company that owns 1,200 radio stations -- implemented a "zero tolerance" policy for explicit discussions of nipples or other titillating subjects on the air. The latest victims of that policy, after Howard Stern and Bubba the Love Sponge, are the Regular Guys on Atlanta's 96rock.

Larry Wachs and Eric Von Haessler were suspended after they accidentally left a microphone on while taping a bit during a commercial.

Over the sound of a Honda truck ad, Lane could be heard describing sexual acts in graphic terms.

The Guys had planned to play the tape backwards during the show to mock the government's campaign against indecency. They cancelled that plan after realizing that the words had been broadcast live.
