NPR's Snitch Program

"And it was so popular, so many people wanted to turn in their friends and family."         So explains our modern day Joseph McCarthy, little Mr./Ms. Ira Glass. As Glass makes snitching and squealing the norm at NPR, we have to wonder what the effects of that will be on society as a whole?     We are aware that all the 'snitches' are necessarily endorsing snitching. For example, five of us have turned in each other just because we want Ira Glass to call us, pull this crap with us so we can say, "F**k you, Ira Glass. If you're so concerned about NPR's budget, why don't you cut your over-priced salary in half." Or, "If you'd sign over your profits from the DVD of American Life, maybe NPR wouldn't have to beg so often on air for money?"     Oh, how much fun that would be. We'll keep trying and maybe someday.     "Don't make me come after you. Don't make your loved ones turn you in," declares our 21st century Charles Nelson Rielly in all his lip smacking glory.
