ok so i read my friend sarah‘s blog the other day, you have to scroll down to the carney’s post with the photos i dunno why i can’t link to it specifically anyway i was a little miffed at what i read:
twice in the past week i have listening to seemingly intelligent dj’s on different radio stations be-littling carny workers
who the fuk are these pedantic blokes to judge
anyone who makes an effort despite the shit they may have been dealt or the way their life has unfolded to be honest and make what they can of themselves should be commended
to demean and ridicule people for the job they hold or how they look and talk or their level of education when there are so many people out there that make every effort to be slothful and live off the backs of others makes me sick
so i’m angered cos i get angry at things and i know this is going to surface a bunch of RAYMI YOU SAY RETARD – the difference is i SAY retard but i don’t MAKE FUN OF HANDICAPPED PEOPLE just as i would say carny but i wouldn’t make fun of them.
so then sarah emails me today and says guess what they’re having a make fun of carneys contest for the duration of the CNE!
so anyway i’m going to write to mix 99.9 and inform them of just how whiter than white trash they are and i invite you to do the same here is sarah’s letter try and copy it but change the words around so it looks likes you wrote it hahaa SCHOOL!
Dear Karen,
I am 30 years old and have been a mix listener for many years, and now quite frequently on my long drive to work from Toronto to Oakville.
On two recent mornings, both last Wednesday and again today, I have heard the morning show hosting a contest called “Carney Masterpiece Theatre” at approximately 8:30am. I have to say, I have never been more embarrassed, disgusted or offended listening to the radio before. I like to think that I have a healthy sense of humour and am not someone who becomes offended easily, but I was actually so angered, that I felt the need to contact you.
I am not sure whether it was a scripted introduction to the contest or just the dj making his own comments, but he spoke of “carney” workers as having BO and other derogatory descriptions. Not to mention the whole premise of the contest depicting Carnival Employees as laughable, sub-par people. This is blatant stereotypical harassment. To demean and ridicule an entire group of people for the job they hold and how they seemingly look and talk is entirely offensive and unfair.
Anyone who makes an effort, despite the cards they may have been dealt or the way their life has unfolded, to try to earn an honest living and make what they can of themselves should be commended and not belittled.
Toronto of all cities, given our multicultural mix and diversity of people should be mindful and respectful of all individuals who live in or come to our city.
From what I understand, this contest is running through the duration of the CNE. I would like you to consider stopping the contest, effective immediately, given your responsibility for under section 3(1)(h) of the Broadcasting Act for the programs you broadcast, not to mention the high standards and level of professionalism and respect that the Mix aspires to in this city. Pending your response, I will be contacting the CBSC to conduct a full review of the content of these specific radio segments that have been aired.
Thank you in advance for your attention to this email. With kind regards, Sarah

im a violent reactor i went to a pub tonight with a stupid local live band wherea woman with a reedy high pitched no-depth voice sang ”black velvet” by alana miles. i dont know if you know that song but its the one that goes BLACK VELVET emeh deh meh deeee ALOHA dooduh dooo duh duh duuuh A NEW RELIGIONS’ GONNA BRING YOU TO YOUR KNEES…..BLACK VELVET if you please and is brilliant because she is blatantly singing about Guinness and how great and wonderful it is. she must have an iron deficiency. i drank a lot of captain morgans. he said it was ok. HAHAHAHAHAetc.
fil was vacuuming and i was doing my best to tune him out until he sucked up some of my hair i mean put the vacuum tube on my head and then made my hair turn into a fucking rat’s nest and now we are eating funeral reception sandwiches that are cut into triangles and then dipping them into the sauce of other sandwiches ok i’m kidding but i did that last nite, i dipped a ham triangle sandwich into fil’s jerk chicken wrap sauce and was like how fat are we? we are dipping sandwiches in other sandwiches.
hmm good art installation idea, like dominoes all fallen over except sandwiches.
anyway my hair is totally fucked, business in the front, TOTAL GARBAGE DUMP LADY FROM LABYRINTH in the back.
we caught the end of the goddess fest aka lesbos, fems and fags everywhere you look fest last nite, and the only act being esthero and she was wicked especially after drinking all those free jager shots and telling a prince story about a three minute encounter she had with him but was able to stretch it out to 15 minutes then dedicated the second song of her encore to the docks for turning the lights on with a fuck you or something as well as saying she will probably put out. for some of the songs from her first record i stood near the stage singing and crying i dunno emo my grandmother is dead shit anyway it was nice to see an artist i have loved since highschool be a complete trainwreck the nite of my grandma’s funeral i mean the music was suitable at least.
i was like aw this is me on sundays at fil’s mom’s for dinner after about 4 glasses of red wine and i tell really long stories that go nowhere and in my head i am 200% hilarious and no one jumps in to stop me but if they do i get wickedly defensive.
this song is one of my favorites, the black eyed peas ft. esthero before fergie ie before they sucked and she ruined everything.
i am looking for funny pictures on the internet for my avater gallery on stalkraymi.com and it is fun – if you find a good one email it to me or something or use it for yourself cos everyone knows that avatars = COOL.
ps i am disappointed that no one laughed at my SO I CAN GRIEVE VIRTUALLY line i thought it was my best work yet.
