Classy. An infamous Howard Stern super-fan pranks FOX News during live coverage of the deadly West Virginia mining accident. The prankster called the fellow Sirius Radio host Jamie Foxx the "C word", an escalation of the on-air feud between Foxx and Stern.
The trickster known as Captain Janks was introduced by anchor Shepard Smith as "Richard Kendrowski," a spokesperson for "the energy company. When asked to share information about the massive explosion that is now known to have killed at least 25 miners and trapped others, the prankster exclaimed: "We've learned that Jamie Foxx is a c**t and that Howard Stern rules."
"That's unfortunate," Smith quickly interjected. "It's never happened to us here but it's always distressing when there are six people killed at a mine disaster and we're waiting for 21 others to find out whether they are alive or dead and something like that sneaks by our screeners. Disgusting."
The Foxx-Stern feud began over comments Stern made about "Precious" star Gabourey Sidibe's weight. Stern suggested several times that Jamie Foxx is gay, which the actor denies.
So very typical of the Howard Stern fanboyz to use the death of dozens of mine workers for a juvie prank. SMH.
Watch the segment (warning: language) AFTER THE JUMP ...
Not that I'm trying to justify this prankster, but what he does accomplish by doing these pranks is illustate how poorly media outlets verify their sources. It makes you think sometimes where their "experts" come from.

This is a very old radio trick, fake radio wars. Sirius XM has not been in the news, Howard and Jamie haven't been in the news. They need this publicity. Make no mistake that all that's happened is that the program directors for their shows got together and orchestrated this whole thing.
