Ratings, Ratings Don started off at 1000 a month and found out he had nothing to offer. He then started picking on some little guy. Perhaps an American Jew or American Indian or American Mexican or perhaps anyone who could not defend himself. He started saying things that a person with class and format would not say. The worms out of the American society came out of their holes and said "That is great". His ratings grew because he never picked on white, Christian, middle class, low income Americans who have a limited education. For each insult to some poor minority. he got press coverage and then the big players in the fast moving consumer product world said let us get near this guy for three minutes a day. OK great so far. Now we have Internet. A hot story in the good old USA is a hot story in London, Moscow, Paris, Cairo and Kabul. You do not have to be American to love Kellogs corn flakes or Pepsi Cola. You turn on your computer and login to YouTube and hear good old Don insulting American girls. Part of P&G worldwide market says the girls look like us. In other places in the world men wonder why the American male does not stand up for the women basketball players. In Cairo they just would stand up and 10000 people would march to P&G headquarters and pull the manager out of the office for supporting such an idiot. In Oslo they would ask the Brand Manager on nationwide TV why he supported such a guy.

Of course you can try a relaunch on Don. The guy is too old and the after WWW reaction will take at least a year before you can resell him. The question is to who wants to buy him. P&G was smart. They cut their losses. MSNBC has at least 10 clowns waiting to take over the Imus slot. Believe me it is easy to relaunch Coca Cola light or Pampers. P&G looks at the Imus following in the USA as a market segment. If P&G loses the Chinese market then they have problems. The Chinese love to see stories coming out of the USA where racial degradation is a day to day happening. Tell me something about ratings, Tell me something about justice, liberty and equality and not how you are going to stop buying cornflakes or send your last dollar to the Imus ranch.

Man if you had any thing to do with radio then you realize that the ratings of MSNBC will go up twice as fast as they did before. The big bucks supporters of Don (the has been) Imus ranch are covering their open positions. These guys are looking for a new charity. It will not take a lot of time before the final demolition of Don comes. then the tax people will clean up the rest.

I worked for Nielsen and I know that the downward trend is the way to an upward trend. Guys like you think that the world will collapse because you and Don are not there. I think this site is for adolescents and not mature people. Wake and realize that the old man Imus is standing in shit. He made a mistake, yes and now he is paying for it. If he had been such a great guy then why is he not sitting at the radio show, where he could push his charity free of cost, and write off his ten mio salary at your expenses. Man wake up and find someone to help you. Don has got it made.

Let the truth be known!

It is good to read about someone who can think clearly and do what is right. If people concentrated more on what he did and less on the plight of Don Imus it would be a better world. Good story.

When I read your comments I come to the conclusion that America is not willing to learn that there are others in the world who are disappointed in the lack of American respect for other religions and races. Don Imus is dead. Jessie and Al are no longer acceptable for their sins. But what about the rest of the 300 million Americans. It seems that the majority are not willing to live and let live. Imus was making 10 million dollars a year and did not have the intelligence to think before he opened his mouth. His good works at his ranch helped him reduce taxes. The protest shut his mouth. We now have the USA on the world stage and it seems that no one has learned to have a bit of respect for others who are not bible toting Christians. I would be nice to wake up and hear that no American died in a distant land and the good old USA assumed its right position in the world community. I hope that someone is respecting your children and your rights to exist.

Do not forget, the American soldier is dying for your racist views of the world. If this is what the founding fathers of America thought then the American dream is lost. In today´s world we have to accept all people as equal and valuable. It seems that the USA is full of KKK, anti Jewish, anti Black, Brown and Yellow and everything that has made America strong. I think the pro Imus people are the dirt of America and are destroying the image that America has created. Custer died for your sins. Imus got fired for your sense of equality.

Ray, you sound like the Germans in 1946. Your world is hate and you should be in the bottle with Imus. The Germans would love to see you running around in leather pants and shouting your creeds.

Sitting in Europe and looking at a old white American man calling a bunch of young American girls what he did causes one to think. These girls or these American girls will remember the rest of their life what Imus said. Alot of people outside of the USA question all of the people who said he made a mistake, give him a chance. In Germany there are people that said Hitler made a mistake, thank god noone gave him a second chance. Don Imus should be shut away where no one has to look at him and hear his unacceptable comments. Americans when they see that someone burns the US flag or tries to hurt American interests should ask themselves where does this hate come from. Don Imus and his wife write off their costs for their ranch and other doings and get a great tax break. Don will crawl into a gin bottle soon and die. These girls and many others will remember 30 years from now at their finest hour they were not considered people of respect. Don you raised the American flag up and the world is looking.
