Just in time for the holidays and Black Friday! The five-minute Aunt Jemima Program: proof that in the Golden Age of Radio, "product placement" was not necessary, as the product WAS the show. Of course, since corporations are "persons," and "persons" have SUCKY memory skills, we may see this kind of entertainment again. After all, commercial encroachment into our minds has already been established; we should be able to accept it better this time around, eh?

A man with an interracial cuckold fantasy has a very GGG wife, willing to do everything short of fuck a black man for him. In other interracial news, a black woman wonders if her white lover sees her whole self or just her beautiful black skin.

Originally broadcast December 2, 2008. DJNewStyle and Germfreak have had their turkey, but they’re not quite ready to light up for Christmas - so they talk to a formerly homeless woman who used to do a lot of coke. Calls from Ruth Ann, Mike Nyce, and Barb.
A brief rundown of a few highlights:
* Being a bad friend, Thanksgiving, Black Friday.
* Christmas time, decorations, sweaters.
* Ruth Ann calls in for Question Time.
* Frank does some list related show prep!
* The Awful Hour challenges us?
Join Aleks Krotoski, Jemima Kiss and Charles Arthur as they dig into the implications of the new Apple iPad, released last Friday, and already a huge market success. The machine, which has sold more than 2m units in 60 days, hasn’t yet found its killer app, but Jemima – who has one – and Charles – who doesn’t want one – predict it will transform the technological landscape.
But don’t just take their word for it. Web user interaction expert Jakob Nielsen describes why in an interview with Jack Schofield. He also defines what developers need to know when designing portable touchscreen interfaces.
And the numbers have it too: Apple beat Microsoft for the biggest technology company in the world. Charles tells the story behind the numbers, and explains why, in the future, Apple will remain top gun.
The team also tackles the first real outcome of the controversial Digital Economy Act. Communications regulator Ofcom has published first draft of its proposed code of actions for copyright infringers. The three-strikes system is up for debate in the consultation that lasts until 30 July.
