You don't know Jack?

Jack radio is cheap and soulless and all about random sex; it's also the new love of my life. Who needs Howard Stern?

    What is the author talking about? (Literally)

    I happen *not* to have ever heard of this radio program, or network, or satellite thing, or webcast thing, or whatever the hell it is, so with a headline like that (punny or not), I figured the article might be enlightening.

    Wrong.

    The author, and apparently the "editors" -- don't seem to care that by the fourth or fifth or sixth or seventh paragraph in, the main subject of the article has still not been described.

    I'm not going to waste another second trying to figure out WTF Ms. Williams is talking about.

    And I wish that Salon would not waste another electron on articles which, like this one, reflect an apparent total ignorance of Journalism 101.
