WCYY Sells Its Soul

WCYY, what the hell is your issue? You are Portland’s new rock alternative, not EmoNation. You’ve been playing great music for more than 10 years. I’ve been a loyal listener for most of those years and I’ve always enjoyed your DJs, song selection, and events. But now you’ve done it, pushing New Moon, the brand new Twilight film. What the hell?!

For those of you who have been living under a rock, Twilight is the newest vampire fad with impressionable young ladies. They love the torrid relationship between Bella, a little emo chick of 17 and Edward ‘D-Bag’ Cullen, the 100 year old vampire stuck in a teenager’s body. I’ve done my research and read some of this schlock. It’s absolutely terrible writing. Stephenie Meyer should be ashamed of herself. I cannot fathom how anyone would allow their name to be connected with literary sludge such as the Twilight Saga. The easiest way to describe it is romance novels lite.

That being said, the books have sold a bazillion copies and now the obligatory films are being made. I have not seen one nor will I subject myself to such crap. However, all the actors look appropriately emo. Every time I see them, I feel a sudden urge to kill rising from the pit of my soul.  Thankfully, I’ve never met these people in person or I might be Public Enemy #1 of all emo-ites everywhere.

All that being said, WCYY has been pushing New Moon hard on its listeners.  They had a huge pre-screening last night that they were giving away tickets for the last couple of weeks.  The way to get tickets was to find Edward hidden on the WCYY site.  SERIOUSLY? That was the best you could come up with? At least embarrass these little tight panted, black wearing, wrist scarring punks! Make them dress up as their favorite character and parade down Congress St… oh wait, they do that everyday.  I know… make them stand in Monument Square with a sign around their neck saying, “I Love Edward Cullen,” and see who makes it the longest.

WCYY, I had respect for you.  I love most of the music you play.  I think you have some of the best DJs in Maine… but you’ve sorely tested my loyalty.  You’re on probation… if you have a skinny jean contest, I’m gone.

    I will offer this tidbit of my sad life to you. Last winter while unemployed I was so bored and lonely (Oakley wasn’t much of a companion, still isn’t) I read the entire Twilight Wiki. Just the Wiki mind you, and if the books are anything like the wiki says it is, they suck. And not in the sexy vampy way. But in the herpes, gonorrhea riddled unsnipped stinky dick of a homeless man kinda suckage.

    I love vampires. And these are not vampires. What the fuck kind of vampire doesn’t want some form of sex!? Celibacy?! Eating deers and shit?! NOT CATCHING ON FIRE IN THE SUN!? WHAT IS THIS FUCKARRY!!

    I’m gonna stick with Anne Rice.

    Preach it to the mountains Reverend Jake – you speak the gospel my brother

    ooooh, good call.
    Edward Cullen panties.

    Some mothers are going to be doing laundry after X Mas and are going to be finding out that the seemingly cute and innocent underwear they bought their 10 year old daughters is not as cute and innocent.

    Vampire oral sex is not for minors.

    It would seem that WCYY has sold itself out just to attract/ keep listeners. Does anyone anymore have self respect when it comes to money.

    However, in Pattinson’s defense, he does look like he’d give great head.

  7. Ang says:

    why does that comment not surprise me….

  8. Lil says:

    If you look at the music in the movie you might understand why WCYY would do what they did…

    I have heard some of the music and Death Cab For Cutie should be ashamed of themselves, just like WCYY should be.
