Portland DJ Harasses Disabled Woman On Air

Willamette Week has had a series of articles on Scooter, the Rose City's village idiot. This slob can be found on "Jammin 95.5's Morning show. I don't recommend it anymore.

And Scooter is the village idiot." Ah, yes: Scooter. A somewhat portly white guy (though he's not as fat as the on-air ribbing he takes might lead one to believe), Scooter is the man the Playhouse looks to for anarchy and nausea. For example, on a recent November morning, commuters on the Hawthorne Bridge were confronted with the spectacle of Scooter taking his clothes off; the Playhouse sent him to the bridge with a microphone as part of a "strip trivia" gag. The cops, who initially thought he was a suicidal bridge jumper, did not get much of a laugh out of it. They slapped him in cuffs and took him downtown. ("Scooter's been arrested several times," Adams notes.) "There have been times I've been ready to kill Scooter," McNamara says. "But you can't get mad at him for doing what he's told. P.K. tells him to jump off the cliff, and over he goes." Scooter's willingness to do just about anything adds a key element to a mix that's designed to flow seamlessly at a pace tailored to eggshell attention spans, all the while seeming like unscripted bedlam.

This guy has no shame

His station reports:
After we ran across a news story of a pro football player that broke into a dorm room and went poo-poo in the closet, we offered 100 dollars to a listener who would let Scooter do the same thing!

There's pictures...ugh!

Smegma breath, freaktard, tormentor Scooter adds such stunts as urine-slurping, strip trivia, harassment, and shitting in closets of strangers to the naughty Playhouse mix of extroverted attention seekers.

I listened to this station for a couple of years. It was my son's preferred entertainment as we drove to early morning sports practices. A lot of the pranks were hysterical. Degrading retarded people is a whole other story.In fact, harassment is the repeated, unwanted attention from someone.

Scooter, you owe this woman a trip to Disneyland and a public apology. Give up your freak
time to support the human cause and get your disabled mind out of your fat ass.
