David Michael: "Opie and Anthony, both now fired, and their producer should do 500 hours of community service - I'm talking cleaning toilets on 42nd street with a brush - for each and every one of their Sex For Sam episodes. They should be banned for life from the broadcast industry. And the FCC has an obligation to America to revoke WNEW's license...It is time for America to recognize shock jocks for the urban terrorists that they are..."

Lori: "Radios have an off button for those occasions when people are offended by what they hear. Opie and Anthony are protected by our constitution to practice free speech whether or not that speech is in good taste or bad! The people who participated in the contest were consenting adults and should be held responsible for their own actions. If it wasn't a risk to have sex in the church then they wouldn't have gotton so many points for it in the contest. Opie and Anthony should be reinstated by Infinety Broadcasting and I for one will not listen to anyone placed in their time slot."

Barbara Holland: "Why stop there? This type of radio journalism has no place in any type of society except for the sexually demented."

Tedd Fess: "GOOD, GLAD TO HEAR TWO MORE OF THOSE F***ING MORONS ARE ON THE STREET!! STERN IS FUNNY FOR AWHILE, BUT GETS OLD P.D.Q. SOME ***HOLE HERE IN CHICAGO WHO CALLS HIMSELF "MANCOW" OR SOME SUCH CRAP HAS ALWAYS BEEN OBNOXIOUS, VERY SELDOM FUNNY. GETS OFF A GOOD LINE MAYBE ONCE A DECADE. I DON'T OBJECT TO THE LANGUAGE OR CONTENT MOST OF THE TIME, BUT CAN'T STAND THE MORONIC HUMOR; OBVIOUSLY GEARED FOR 6-14 YEAR OLDS."
