Laws the day after that?
The comments on news.com.au are 100% positive and supportive of Zemanek. Yeah, that's a real reflection of peoples' opinions of him 
Wonder how many posts they've had to delete.

He was a champion!! RIP STAN!
Zemanek was a stirrer.
Jones, Laws, Carlton and co. are not stirrers. They're serious.
George Wallace was a Governor - it's a post that requires you to take him seriously.
But if you took Zemanek seriously then you were missing the point entirely.
Stan Zemanek would host his program while delivering the radio equivalent of a wry smile or a wink to the audience. It was all just a laugh and a wind-up. Amazingly Lemmings kept lining up to get beaten over the head because they didn't understand that it was all one big p!sstake.
There are plenty of shock-jocks that deserve criticism for pandering to people's darker sides, but Stan Zemanek isn't one of them.

.......and the historical revisionism begins.
The bloke was a bully of the lowest form, hopefully someone makes better use of the oxygen he wasted.

I almost vomited when I saw the little eulogy piece that just finished the Channel 9 news. Revisionism in a truely bizarre way. Zemanek almost tearing up as he said "1 in 4 people will get cancer". And yet he's made a career out of railing against AIDS, medical health, etc. Utterly disgusting that this scum rates a mention, let alone the adoring garbage that I just saw.
What is the point of him, then? Why would people enjoy listening to a guy spouting stuff he doesn't believe? What a complete narcissist.
On Zemanek, well, if you quack like a duck then you've only got yourself to blame if people call you a duck.
Still, there's no value in denigrating the dead - if you can't say anything nice, you're probably a shock jock.

If you ask me, that makes it worse.
If he genuinely believed those things, then he was just stating his opinion, and he can't really be faulted for that.
But if he doesn't then he's pure scum, attacking only the most vulnerable people and easiest targets.

Don't worry, I'm sure he won't be offended.
Did he kill anyone? People didn't have to listen to him
Possibly. Abusing depressed people on radio is bound to cause a suicide or two.
just a question - who really gives a rats arse?
He did nothing for society as a whole. His death is no more important in the scale of things than Jose Bloggs down the street.
Don't bag the guy out, but also ask yourself "is he really important enough to worry about?"

I saw the end of Nightline whilst I was waiting for The Footy Show (NRL) to begin. They ended the show playing slow motion images of Stan Zemanek with sad music making him out to be some important saint What a ****ing joke
