A few years ago one of our local radio stations in San Diego bought a beat up old car as the official morning show car and painted it oddly and called it the “chupacabra”. Being on the border with mexico they asked listeners to call or write in and say if they believed the chupacabra was real or not.
I wrote an e-mail and it was read on the air the same day. It went somewhere along the lines of “The chupacabra is fiction. It’s a mythical “monster” thought up by mexican parents in order to scare kids to keep them in line. IT’S NOT REAL!!!! It only exists as a myth to scare children… sort of like the boogey man or Michael Jackson.”
The Dj was laughing his ass off at the end of the show that day and didn’t even do his usual sign off bit. I’m not sure I would write something similar today… but at the time it seemed hilarious.
