"Right.  Nobody's mentioned Howard Stern."

You just did.
His form of 'humor' is a great example of twisting reality for personal gain 
and amusement.  Many people (including Stern) do not get the joke.  It's a 
bit like Limbaugh and many of these internet chat groups.

Dehumanization, derision, attack, humiliation and cruelty are all considered 
forms of amusement and humor.  It often does not matter to the humorist that 
the butt of the joke is not in on the joke.  This is pure evil - IMHO.  
Bullying and practical jokes masquerading as social commentary is surely a 
path to hell.

Is it any wonder that this type of 'infotainment' would lead to skewed and 
twisted perceptions of our fellow man?
