Howard Stern rips on D&D on his radio show

[Veander]

You know whats sad, is he probablly DOES know what D&D is really like, he just does not care. That's just the way he is, he will make something look really bad even if he is really into it, it's all about ratings.

you have it in a nutshell. I used to listen to Stern a lot and while I don't now it has nothign to do with feeling better than him or whatever. Lots of folks in here are coming off with the same kind of negativity that they think is being given out by him. I did happen to catch several things Stern has said over the years about any number of things I like. Everytime he bashes them in the areas where you would think... the areas where they are funny. I didn't hear it but I would probably laugh right along with him about DnD. Don't take DnD too seriously, it's a game with some weird stuff going on.

But in the end... ratings.

anyone who was listening to Stern and then got upset when he insulted D&D is a hypocrite. What, he's only funny when hes insulting someone BESIDES YOU?
please.

stern is an occasionally funny moron. He claims to have certain hobbies or interests (like comic books) but he knows NOTHING about them and talks out his butt. As for people taking everything he says seriously and following his examples: be serious. give the human race A LITTLE BIT OF CREDIT.

this thread is embarassing.

Let's put it this way:

If Howard Stern happened to stumble on ENWorld and see this thread, he'd be amused that three whole pages have already been devoted to it.

Gaga About Gnomes... you guys have never taken orders. You're a black mark on the field of organized combat. But this time, your penchant for chaos may be what makes this all come together.

i thought this little ramble was amusing, then i hit this part.

tea on keyboard time

Disclaimer: I haven't read through all the posts on this thread.

But, if he is equating D&D in any way with pedophilia, I would think Wizards would have grounds on which to sue for slander or whatnot?

I don't give the human race credit.

and besides Howard's got it all wrong D&D makes you a devil worshiper.

Let him rail on D&D, he'll be back to making fart jokes and talking about porn by Friday.

Agreed. Stern's likely to fall back on his "classic" material quickly enough.

I learned long ago, that is what Howard Stern does: irritate and annoy people. He WANTS you to react.

Exactly, he's just trying to get a rise out of people to get a reaction. Then he can use said reaction against them. Ignoring him is more effective over the long run.

yeah, i prefer cash too.

Quite frankly, since he's such a l00b job, I wouldn't give a second glance at anyone that actually listened to his tripe when it came to their opinion. Just listening to Stern makes you less intelligent.
