[Rumori] Clear Channel (Cares)psas

[R. John Heck]

I have all (10) the sound files, and have the pdf of the press 
release below. I would be happy to donate them to detritus. 
{Steev!?....} As well as the "Working to give local heroes a stage, a 
voice, and a victory" (so you don't have to) graphic with a valentine 
heart-shaped earth that features north america in dead center. It was 
probably CC's answer to "Get yer war on" http://www.mnftiu.cc 
question "Can't we just build a fucking bomb the size of the earth 
and cut a hole out of the middle in the shape of The United States? 
Drop the motherfucker around us and take care of business once and 
for all?"
