CBS Radio drops morning host Kidd Chris over racist song
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - CBS Corp. fired a radio host and a radio station’s program director over a racist song that was performed on the air in March.
The song played on WYSP-FM during host Kidd Chris’ morning show was “highly offensive and completely inappropriate for broadcast on our airwaves,” CBS Radio spokeswoman Karen Mateo said in a statement Friday. “When senior management of the station learned that it had been played, they took immediate steps to prevent it from ever appearing on the station again.”

Roman God of Love
Cupid - Roman God of Love
In Roman mythology, Cupid is the god of erotic love. He is equated with the Greek God Eros and one of his Latin names is Eros. He is also called Amor, Latin for love.
Cupid’s lineage
There are differing storihatees about his parentage. Cicero provides three different lineages: son of Mercury (Hermes) and Diana (Artemis), son of Mercury and Venus (Aphrodite), and son of Mars (Ares in Greek mythology) and Venus. Plato mentions two of these, and Hesiod’s Theogony, the most ancient Greek theoography, says that Cupid was created coevally with Chaos and the earth. Throughout ancient mythological writing, there appear to be either two Cupids or two sides to the figure of Cupid. One is the son of Jupiter (Zeus) and Venus. He is a lively youth who delights in pranks and spreading love. The other is a son of Nyx and Erebus, and he is known for riotous debauchery.
Cult
Cupid’s cult was closely associated with Venus’, and he was worshipped as seriously as she. Additionally, his power was supposed even greater than his mother’s, since he had dominion over the dead in Hades, the creatures of the sea, and the gods in Olympus. Some of the cults of Cupid suggested that Cupid (as son of Night and Hell, perhaps) mated with Chaos to produce men and gods alike, so the gods were the offspring of love.
Portrayal in art and literature
Caravaggio’s Amor Vincit OmniaIn painting and sculpture, Cupid is portrayed as a nude winged boy armed with a bow and a quiver of arrows. The traditional Christian depiction of a cherub is based on him. On gems and other surviving pieces, he is usually shown amusing himself with childhood play, sometimes driving a hoop, throwing darts, catching a butterfly, or flirting with a nymph. He is often depicted with his mother (in graphic arts, this is nearly always Venus), playing a horn. He is also shown wearing a helmet and carrying a buckler (perhaps in reference to Ovid’s “amor vinces omnia” or as political satire on wars for love or love as war).
Cupid figures prominently in ariel poetry, lyrics, and, of course, Ovid’s love and metamorphic poetry. In epic poetry, he is less often invoked, but he does appear in Virgil’s Aeneid changed into the shape of Ascanius inspiring Dido’s love. In later literature, Cupid is frequently invoked as fickle, playful, and perverse. He is often depicted as carrying two sets of arrows: one set gold-headed, which inspire love, and the other lead-headed, which inspire hatred.
The best known story involving Cupid is the tale of Cupid and Psyche, first attested in Apuleius’ picaresque novel, The Golden Ass, written in the second century CE.

Thou Shalt Have Sex Every Day
By CAROLINE HOWARD, AOL
When debate turns to the value of marriage, attention normally goes to the religious sanctity of the union, the socio-economic benefits to the married adults and their children and even health pluses. Married couples tend to live longer, healthier lives and are typically less depressed or anxious than their single, divorced, or widowed counterparts.
But one Ybor City, Fla, pastor has taken up the mantle of another marriage blessing. In an attempt to curb high divorce rates, Relevant Church head pastor Paul Wirth issued a challenge for his married congregants: Have sex every day for one month.
Watch the CBS Early Show report:
“Sometimes life gets in the way,” Wirth told the Associated Press. “Our jobs get in the way. And that’s no different for people who attend church.”
According to the National Center for Health Statistics, the rate of divorce in the U.S. is 3.6 divorces per 1,000 people; the rate peaked at 5.3 per 1,000 in 1981. Notably, divorce rates are highest in states where many conservative Christians live, including Arkansas and Mississippi, while the percentage dips in the more liberal Northeast and upper Midwest.
What accounts for the overall decline in divorce rates? Many experts attribute it to a combination of the rise in cohabitation, the older age of marriage, and the overall decline in the marriage rate — a whopping 30 percent since the mid-1980s. Others factors in income and education levels.
Some, like Pastor Wirth, believe lower divorce rates somehow relates to higher sexual activitiy.
One recent online study by clinical sexologist Bob Berkowitz, PhD and his wife Susan Yager-Berkowitz, authors of ‘He’s Just Not Up for It Anymore,’ however, found that the U.S. divorce rate is well below the nation’s average of married couples in sexless marriages (couples having sex fewer than 10 times per year). And it said the most frequent reason couples stop regular lovemaking was ‘unadventurous sex,’ or a loss of enthusiasm or novelty.
Pastor Wirth’s invitation does not extend to unmarried congregants.

Proposing to your Girlfriend
Proposing is not the end of the world. It may signal the end to bachelor freedoms but it’s certainly not the end of the world. Besides, you’re no longer looking like a bachelor on the prowl. Sometimes the married look looks better on some men! We suspect that after six long years you’re mentally prepared for “husband-hood” and maybe fatherhood.
Ways of Proposing to your Girlfriend
The way you propose depends on how old fashioned or modern you are. If you’re old fashioned and go for the traditional ways of proposing, you can:
* ask to meet her parents so you can ask them;
* invite her to dinner in a special restaurant (please, don’t take her to a diner) and present her with the ring; or
* invite her to dinner in a special restaurant and pop the question. Explain to her that you’re still trying to clear your credit card issues so the ring will come next month;
rent a chalet up in the mountains and as she’s preparing dinner, kneel before her and ask her to be your wife; or
* you can take her to an amusement park and propose to her when you’re at the highest level of the roller coaster. Of course there’s a chance she won’t hear you amidst all the screaming guys and gals, so you can ask her again when you’re off the roller coaster and your legs are about to give way.
