Radiohead Fan Flips Over Chance For Free Tickets

Radiohead Fan Flips Over Chance For Free Tickets

Posted Tuesday, February 19th 2008 by Michael Rabinowitz

In honor of Tampa's Orient Road jail's appreciation of the handicapped, the local radio station wacky morning show on 97X attempted a reenactment with one of their paraplegic listeners.  His prize for the humiliation of being thrown from his wheelchair by Morning X producer Danielle in a corrections office outfit?  Free Radiohead tickets, of course! 

Before we here at The Truly Independent get assailed by the P.C. Police for insensitivity, I have to note that we have all seen dedicated parents (translation: morons) camp out for days in front of a Hanna Montana statue for tickets without showering or working (behavior which barely deviated from the norm of said "parents"), so a wheelchair bound dude falling into a pile of bubble wrap falls pretty low on the humanity debasement scale.  Especially, if its all in the name of making fun of bullying jail guards. 

I would like to think Thom Yorke would be proud.  You know, giving the handicap a chance to compete on equal footing with the rest of us?  Wasn't that the theme of Ok Computer?
