Summertime

I have had a lot of criticism for not updating my blog much lately, so what's been happening?

The first issue of the WFM MAG is out, and so far we have had an awesome response!

What else...

My son's first birthday tomorrow :)
...and my 30th in 2 weeks. That's right Jay is turning the Dirty Thirty!

Not much else is news, it's summer on Gotland which means work work work and occasionally a little but of fun in the sun..


And yes I realise that this was possibly the most boring blog entry in history, but I am too busy trying to find out if it's true or not whether MJ died from food poisoning because he was chewing on some 12-year-old nuts!

WFM - MAG

Middle Summer

If you're wondering where I've been the answer is easy - on holidays! Well on paternity leave to be more exact. But never fear, Jay is here and will be back on air next week starting Monday the 22nd of June (which is also my mum's birthday).

The BIG news is that Wisby FM will once again be hitting the airwaves with the ultimate Midsommar playlist starting this thursday evening and running through until Saturday night! There will be all the Gotlandic and Swedish classics (yes they are separate) and naturally I will throw in a few Australian classics too!

I guess the only bad part about choosing this week to be on holidays is the fact that it's the only time of the year when it's 100% legitimate to say the word penis on air! Because that's what the Swedes do for their Midsommar celebrations (middle summer holidays) they jump like a frog around the giant Penis! Why?? To make the earth fertile.. oh well why not ay!

So don't forget to tell your friends, family and next door neighbours dog about this weekend and until next week - be good and if you can't be good be careful..

Proof that porn is evil...

Well here you go Ladies & Gents!
According to a report in the Daily Telegraph, a lady from the UK has cancelled her wedding after discovering her fiance is a secret porn star.

Apparently Haylie only found out that her husband-to-be, Jason made adult films just weeks before the big day.

How did he get caught? It happened when a friend organising her hen night searched online for a male stripper and spotted Jason with a woman in a porn movie.

Now Haylie has called her vicar to cancel the wedding: "There was no way I could marry an adult film star," she said.

The pair met last year when Jason became a customer at the garage where Haylie worked. He told her he was a personal trainer and the couple began dating. After eight months, he proposed and bought her a diamond engagement ring - but then his secret emerged.

Haylie said, "I don't know if I will ever be able to trust a man again."

Jason replied by saying "The sex side is purely for the camera, but Haylie did not understand I was only acting. I am sorry and did not want to hurt her. I still love Haylie and would have stopped doing porn if she had asked me to."

In his defence, I guess she could never call him a lousy lover!

No Brain... No Pain

Ladies & Gents this guy puts the Ass in Class!

According to reports a wanna be gansta wanksta from Germany has shot himself in the crutch when his gun went off half cocked in his pocket.

The dude, Lukas, 27, had forgotten to put the safety catch on when he stuffed the gun into his trouser pocket to impress friends. The best part is when he told paramedics that a masked mugger had blasted him in the crutch in a bungled robbery.

But police found a hole in his statement when they saw that the gunshot had miraculously left his trousers intact. "Instead there was a charred hole in his pocket so either it was the shot of the century or he did it himself," said a police source according to Annanova.

Now - after surgeons stitched his manhood back together - he's facing up to three years in jail for breaching Germany's tough new anti gun laws.

Ball & Chain

Holy Moly here we go!

According to reports, parents can now help their children study - how? - by buying a ball and chain that only unlocks when they have studied for long enough.

Parents can set the desired study time on the 9.5kg so-called 'Study Ball' and attach it to their child's ankle. Then a red digital display counts down the 'Study Time Left' and the device beeps and unlocks when the time expires.

Luckily enough it cannot be locked for more than four hours and comes with a safety key that allows the manacle to be opened at anytime.

If you want one, it costs £75 and is sold online at curiosite.com The website says: "Quite often, students who are having problems concentrating tend to get up every ten minutes to watch TV, talk on the phone, take something out of the fridge, and a long list of other distractions."

I guess it could have been a good party trick at least!

The WFM Newspaper / WFM Tidningen

Well here we go Ladies & Gents of the Jury!

Gotland Live, the organisation that governs Wisby FM has announced the start of The WFM Newspaper in 2009.

The idea is simple:
To create a newspaper 100% written and produced by Swedish youth for the youth and produced 100% on Gotland.

Since Gotland Live also runs Wisby FM and Wisbyfm.se the material will also be used on all mediums simultaneously, which naturally will give the youth a larger platform for exposure. Thus the youth will be able to share, discuss and influence the topics that are important to them and (most importantly) influence their environment in their home, school and social lives directly!

So if you're interested in being part of the project, go to www.wisbyfm.se click Kontakt and send an email asap!





WFM TIDNINGEN!

Ambitionen är att varannan månad släppa en tidning gjord av ungdomar från Gotland. Tidningens fokus kommer således att styras av det ungdomar och unga vuxna tycker är viktigt och intressant. Genom att inbjuda till sådan aktivitet på Gotland Live kommer många ungdomar introduceras till media på ett positivt sätt. Planen är att skapa och producera WFM Tidningen.

De kommer att forska kring diverse ämnen och därmed samtidigt fördjupa och utveckla egen kunskap kring olika ämnen. Eftersom Gotland Live också driver radiostationen WisbyFM 89.2 kommer innehållet i tidning också att exponeras och sändas genom Wisby FM.

Varje månad kommer nya ungdomar att få chansen att producera en tidning. Gotland Live pretenderar inte endast att exponera och träna ungdomar och unga vuxna i att skriva för media men även att exponera ungdomar och unga vuxna till ‘aktuella och relevanta’ ämnen som påverkar deras vardag och miljön i skolan och hemmet.

Joke Time!

From my mum...

A young ventriloquist is touring the clubs and one night he's doing a show in a small town in Tasmania .

With his dummy on his knee, he starts going through his usual dumb blond jokes when a blond woman in the 4th row stands on her chair and starts shouting:

'I've heard enough of your stupid blond jokes. What makes you think you can stereotype women that way? What does the colour of a person's hair have to do with her worth as a human being? Its men like you who keep women like me from being respected at work and in the community, and from reaching our full potential as people. Because you and your kind continue to perpetuate discrimination against not only blondes, but women in general... and all in the name of humour!'

The embarrassed ventriloquist begins to apologize, and the blonde yells, 'You stay out of this mate! I'm talking to that little shit on your lap!'

1-year Anniversary!!!

Well Ladies & Gents, Wisby FM has official turned one!!!

The future of Wisby FM looks brighter and brighter as time goes on. Right now we are getting ready for Summer 2009. Which I think will be kick ass once more. Also the WFM Tidningen (newspaper) project is underway and as it looks today our first issue should be released over summer. It's going to be awesome a radio/newspaper project all in one and produced here on Gotland by the kids of Gotland!

Hopefully in the summer also we will have guest broadcasters including Ulas and brother Özz Nujen - all I have to do now is get down on my knees and beg!

But on behalf of Wisby FM and myself I would like to thank everyone for their support. Because of course without your support we never would have made it this far and be looking into the future.

Don't forget it is your opinion, the listeners that counts. Not the fake statistics of other radio stations in the area, and don't get me started on Sifo! What a scam - 10,000kr and they only make 500 phone calls and then base everything on that. No wonder 'some' stations have incredible stats according to them. All they have to do is call out on the countryside, where 2-way is still be used and we're screwed haha.

Oh well, according to the beat on the street Wisby FM is doing fantastic, and I will always trust the people that actually live in the area rather than a marketing campaign by our competitors or a bunch of telemarketers from the mainland.

Thanks again!
Keep Listening!
Keep Your Opinions Coming In!

If Only the Politicians Did This!

As heard on Wisby FM:

According to a report in Ananova, a German football club is to refund the tickets of 600 fans who travelled to see them put in a "pitiful performance" that ended in a 4-0 away defeat.

Supporters travelled 380 miles to see their team lose 4-0. It was the team's sixth loss in seven games, and the club made the offer in a web statement headed "Sorry, Energie Fans!"

The statement went on to state:

"By refunding the cost of admission for their supporters, the red and whites would like to apologise for the pitiful performance which they displayed at the Veltins Arena."

Just think Ladies & Gents if the politicians of the world felt this kind of compassion for their voters and the was some kind of countability... if only huh?

Is online piracy a good thing?

Well the Pirate Bay has come and gone and those involved have been given a one-year jail sentence and fined 30 million SEK.

So is online piracy a good thing or a bad thing?

Here is a CNN article explaining the two points of view.
