Fuck I hated that guy.

Good riddance...

Yeah, that was my reaction too. I keep hearing about it on the radio at work. Supposedly he was a really nice guy off camera/radio. I find it hard to believe his arrogant & ignorant behaviour was only a facade.

I just hope people forget about him in a couple of years.

He may have been a fantastic person off air, but what he portrayed to the public, perpetuated a mindset of ignorance, hatred and bigotry within the community...

FUCK him...

Radio host slams Zemanek on funeral day
Wednesday Jul 18 05:00 AEST
By ninemsn staff


Radio host Mike Carlton didn't let his hatred for Stan Zemanek rest in peace yesterday — saying he would only go to his funeral "to check that he was actually dead."

As relatives prepared to bury Zemanek yesterday morning, Carlton was on his 2UE radio show saying he "loathed" and "hated" the late shock jock.

When asked by a caller why he wouldn't be attending the funeral, Carlton said to do so would be "an act of sheer hypocrisy."

"I don't like Stan and he didn't like me and I'm not going to be hypocritical and turn up."

Even Carlton's colleagues were offended by the bitter rant, with 2UE afternoon host Steve Price opening his show by condemning Carlton.

"Just shut up and say nothing. It was really bad taste and bad behaviour," said Price, who attended the funeral.

Carlton's feud with Zemanek began almost 30 years ago, the Daily Telgraph reports, when he was dropped from 2UE's morning show to make way for John Laws and Zemanek, who was working as a producer at the time.

Zemanek's family and friends tried to ignore Carlton's offensive comments.

"Today is a celebration of Stan's life and we'd really rather today have been a day of celebration and love for a remarkable man, to just focus on the positive," friend Prue Macsween said.
