gang pirate radio

look out christian slater, there are some new pirates on the block. and they're pushing the boundaries waaaaay further than your hard harry character did. it seems that these broadcasters were using foul language, were telling people where they could buy drugs, and where to find prostitutes. that's pretty bold.

even bolder is the fact that they are alleged to have received funding from a local gang, and were selling ad time for illicit services.

i do think it's kinda cool that these guys were bored, and decided to start their own station. that's pretty inventive. i don't know about the content of their station, and i probably wouldn't have enjoyed their music choices, but maybe that's just issue of taste. and the funny kicker on this story is that the fcc tracked these guys down when "The FCC monitored the airwaves and spotted a cable and antenna in a tree leading right into the home." wait, an antenna in a tree? veerrrrry high tech.
