Fan distribution of the message seems to be having an effect. However, on the Stern show, it was mostly a negative effect. Stern read a few quotes concerning Pete finding the first "image" of child porn. Howard thought the story was questionable be- cause he had never encountered such graphic images while surfing on the net. I must admit, I haven't either. Pete was derided for saying in the piece that even mildly curious might stumble across such pictures. He was derided for not doing anything after he found that first image. Basically, Howard's gang said the message made Pete seem "creepier" & seemed to imply he had some kind of repressed obsession with child porn. A few minutes later a guy called in & drew attention to the lyrics of "Rough Boys" (here we go again). They played the song. Some on the staff (K.C. & Baba Booey) defend- ed the piece as being tongue-in-cheek & anti-homophobic but Howard still insisted Pete was "creepy" & ended the discussion by saying, "The plot thickens." - SCHRADE in Akron
