Tonight Top Topic: Should Craigslist be allowed to run erotic services ads?
The show started with fred doing his “sexy voice.” (Did any women think it was sexy?) Then they went into a discussion that Morgan wants Brotha’ Fred to drop the Brotha’ Fred name and to use his real name. She said she is “aging you up.” to Fred. Although he did give his real name yesterday I decided not to post it as not sure whether he really wants to use it. Not that it is hidden to the world as he does have it posted in places. Does it matter?
Since the “Craigslist Killer” (why do we give criminals fancy names that evoke celebrity status?) Philip Markoff and the murder investigation surrounding it became public there are calls coming out against erotic ads on craigslist. Marhoff is accused of robbing two women, killing 26 year old Julissa Brisman by luring them to upscale hotels. He found the women through ads on the craigslist website. John Burgess recently pleaded guily to involuntary manslaughter in California in the death of a woman he met through Craigslist. In Florida police arrested a registered sex offender who advertised on Craigslist for massages even though he did not have a license.
South Carolina Attorney General Henry McMaster has requested Craigslist take down ads related to prostitution or pornography or face prosecution. They have until May 15 to comply.
The Edge crew found there are over 1000 ads in the erotic category of Charlotte Craigslist. Many have naked pictures.
Fox Charlotte’s Lyra Manning appeared on the Edge (FIrst time) and talked about Trench Reynolds who has a blog dedicated to crimes and scams related to craigslist. Lyra had a segment on Fox News @ Ten.
Craigslist does say it donates all proceeds from the erotic ads to charity.
Morgan pointed out if someone posting an ad includes prices for sexual services – that is prostitution. How is the police not able to go in and get these people? She went on to say We do see some of that.
Fred mentioned some other sections like the personals offer the same kind of thing. (Makes me wonder how much time fred spends reading personals on craigslist)

After the break we see Fred doing his “white boy dance.” (Hopefully for the last time.)

Kiefer Sutherland assaulted a fashion designer this week. The star of the Fox series 24 turned himself into police. The head-butting incident involed Jack McCollough who is reported to have bumped into Brooke Shields and did not apoligize. Sutherland will be charged with a third degree assault charge. It was discussed that this could be a violation of his probation and could go back to jail for 10 months. There are reports that Sutherland’s lawyers are trying to reach a cash settlement with McCollough.

Two crashes have taken place near where Nicholas Cage is filming an upcoming movie, “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.” The latest crash involes an SUV not involved in the filming, hit a parked car at 3:28am. Nine people had to be treated for injuries. An earlier accident happend when a ferrari jumped a curb and crashed into a time square restaurant around 1am. Two people were injured. The ferrari was filming a scene for the movie at the time.

As reported on this website earlier, Drew Peterson was arrested this afternoon in the murder of his third wife Kathleen Savio in 2004. Peterson is quoted as saying “I guess I should have returned those library books” as he entered police headquarters.
Fred brought up that “its perplexing that someone else wants to be with him.” (referring to his fiancie Christina Raines) Morgan responded like last night, “a fiancie with idiot written across her forehead.”

Miss California Carrie Prejean has a new job offer – Porno Queen. Vivid entertainment offered Carrie a million dollars to star in an adult film. Vivid executives said they were impressed with her eloquence. Morgan & Fred thought they might be impressed with “two” other things. Fred said she should do it. Morgan “as long as its guy on girl what does she care.” Fred replied as long as its opposite. If same sex porn then its not alright. (Read the letter Vivid sent to Carrie Prejean here as posted on tmz.com)

A woman who has terminal cancer is getting tattoos of all her 20 pets so she can “take them with her to the grave.” Jayne Jubb, 47 who has pets including raccoons, a piranha, reptiles and a fox wants all of them included. Her husband at first thought she was crazy but now is going along with it.

We heard from teh Edge line and some viewers suggested anything should be allowed to advertise on craigslist. Morgan responded to that why not let drug dealers sell drugs. Fred brought up to let people sell their kids. (actually selling kids is specifically not allowed by craigslist.)

Reminder to go to the Fox Charlotte website and enter to win tickets to Windstream Pole night. Watch the Edge Friday night to see if you win. And Friday will be Harley night. Whatever that is….

Lyra Manning

On the 10 O’clock News we got to meet new anchor Lyra Manning. Lyra who is originally from New York City, comes to Fox Charlotte from WBTW in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina where she was the morning anchor. Welcome to Charlotte Lyra!
During the news they reported about the two workers from Dominos and again showed part of the Youtube video where they were doing horrible things with the food. This is the thrid consecutive night of showing the video. ENOUGH ALREADY!

Morgan took the night off. (Probably out shopping!) We were left to Brotha Fred and Mark Mathis. Maybe next time they can have a stage hand as co-host. Or else I am available. Normally Fred is the wild one but in tonight’s show Fred would have made Morgan seem wild.

The Top Topic was that John Madden is retiring at age 73. Madden said he wanted to spend more time with his family. He will be replaced by Cris Collinsworth. So tinight’s question is “Who’s the greatest sportcaster of all time?” You have the whole weekend to answer by calling 332-EDGE. Mark Mathis mentioned a number of names. Seemed all but one did fred recognize and said they were before his time. Both know Marv Albert but it was Mark who remembered that Marv Albert liked to chew underpants. What a person remembers, speaks volumes about that person.

Will Ferrell drinks his urine. This is for a Discovery Channel episode of the series Man Vs. Wild. Ferrell is doing this to promote his upcoming movie Land of the Lost. This episode will air sometime in June. As was pointed out, who knew there was wild areas of Sweden? It is in the artic area of Sweden, reportedly. What does Ferrel say about this? He is quoted recently “thrill of a lifetime, even though I did get urine drunk, which is sad.” Fred said it was worth it if being paid a million dollars. (Well as it is to promote his movie where he will earn millions I guess he is being paid that much.)

Four Pythons escaped from a container aboard a plane in Australia. 12 non-venemous Stimson pythons (native to Australia) were on the flight from Alice Springs to Melbourne in the plane’s cargo area in a bag inside a plastic foam box with air holes. When the plane landed Qantas airline workers noticed they were missing. It still is to be determined whether they are still on the plane or are at the airport looking for their luggage. The plane was fumigatedand the airplane is now back serving passengers.

As some point in the show, Mark said to Fred “Anyone ever say you’re an attractive man.” (Can’t explain the look of Fred’s face. You had to see it. But that is why you have to actually watch the show.

They brought up that in Richmond that inmates will be charged for the cost of their jail time. They will be charged $1/day per inmate. They say in their jails it costs $46/day per inmate. They expect it could raise up to $500,000 per year to help offset the $30 million annual cost to taxpayers. Mark mentioned that he had been in jail. And “One time I enjoyed it.” The question was brought up, what happens if they don’t pay?

A recent study has found that Twitter may be dangerous to your health.

The Edgy story of the night was about a Driving teacher who was drunk while giving a driving lesson. Daniel Winsky of Salem, Mass., was convicted of operating under the influence. While he was not in the driver’s seat he was operating the brakes and steering the car in car purpose built for driving lessons. He agreed to give up his license for a year (in order to stay out of jail) and be on 18 months probation.

Also a story about a russian man who jumped out a winodw. Twice. He is a 22 year old man from Moscow and he jumped out a fifth-story window. He drank three bottles of vodka. Fortunatly he only suffered a minor concussion and scratches. When the man sobered up late he said he would give up drinking. (Maybe he should give up jumping out of fifth-story windows instead?)

What is missing from what I have written is all the comments and antics from Mark Mathis. And the expressions from Brotha Fred. There is no way to put it all into words. You have to watch the show or any videos on the Fox Charlotte website. This is not a substitute for watching the show. Would recommend to the producers to find someone else when needed to co-host other than him. Even Fred was no fun to watch. Why not David L.? Or someone? Anyone?

And the last chance headlines again included part of the Domino’s Pizza Youtube video. ENOUGH!!! And do you realize that by playing the video all the time it means the two people achieved their goal? So that then makes other people want to do the same. Maybe we should all stay away from restaurants until the television shows and newscasts stop playing these videos! Otherwise you may not be happy with what gets added to your food…..

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!!
