DJ Star: Giving Hate a Bad Name

Ugh. I love hate, but this is ugly. After all the media attention given to Hot 97 getting evicted, I guess Power 105 decided to step their game up and win the ignorance contest, once and for all. On air, DJ Star (Gov't name: Troi Torain) offered $500 to the listener who would reveal the school that Hot 97 DJ Envy's daughter attends. He proceeded to issue the following threat to Envy's daughter:

"Yes, I disrespect your seed," Torain ranted. "If you didn't hear me, I said I would like to do an R. Kelly on your seed. On your little baby girl."

For those of you out-of-the-know, an "R. Kelly" consists of urinating on a girl (preferably underage) and then ejaculating on her. Wow. I'm absolutely speechless. The outlandish behavior of shock jocks is frequently blamed on Howard Stern, who was the first to really offend the masses. Sure Stern has crossed the line a few thousand times, but I have to think that he was at least trying to be funny. Star is just fucking stupid.

DJ Envy is no angel either. He was one of the creators of the remarkably unfunny "Tsunami Song" which features such clever lyrics as:

So now you're screwed, it's a tsunami
You better run and better kiss your ass away
Go find your mommy
I just saw her float by, a tree right through her head, and now your children will be sold child slavery

My brain hurts from trying to figure out who is more hateable here. Both Star and Envy are clearly horrendous human beings, but I think the real hate here goes out to the whatever audience has built up the demand for this kind of behavior. Ridiculous.
