http://www.ktla.com/news/landing/ktla-john-ken-suspended,0,4085379.storyHOLLYWOOD (KTLA) -- KFI Radio hosts John and Ken have been suspended for making 'insensitive' comments about Whitney Houston.
On the show, the duo talked about Houston's past drug problems, saying.....
"At some point you're just sick of it all, and so is everybody else in the industry. All her friends and hangers on, everybody who knew had to deal with her. It's like, 'Ah Jesus...here comes the crack ho again, what's she gonna do? Ah look at that, she's doin' handstands next to the pool. Very good, crack ho...' After a while everybody's exhausted. And then you find out she's dead. It's like, 'Really? Took this long?'", according to a recording.

KFI used to be a radio station. Now it's a little piece of Radio Rwanda, prodding their listeners to kill the (fill in the blank) cockroaches.
Douchebags. Oh well, they'll always have the Recall...

I used to listen to KFI when it had Phil Hendrie, Karel and Andrew, and Ted Rall as hosts. Then it became "all hate all the time".
