we did it!


Well, it looks like all of you loyal readers made it happen. After being dropped from MSNBC's television simulcast, CBS radio has fired Don Imus. No major news outlets are crediting you all, but they are probably just scared. As if the point hasn't become moot, BBC explains, in stupifying detail, what happened:

Mr. Imus called the mostly black members of the Rutgers University women's basketball team "nappy-headed hos".

"Ho" is slang for prostitute and "nappy-headed" is a derogatory term for the hair of many black people.



See, now the english UNDERSTAND. It took a BBC reporter and a trip to urbandictionary.com, but it's finally all coming together.

Seriously, someone put this on a t-shirt.
