Mr. Announcement: "Ghetto Science Public Television presents highlights from Kunta 'Rasheed X' Toby's thought-provoking documentary film series 'The Pursuit of Crappyness: The Unemployed, Underemployed and Part-time Djs are Close to the Edge.'"
DJ 'Loose Booty' McBride: "I remember the day when I was laid off my job. I left feeling very humiliated. I tried to remain poised. The reality of being laid off actually kicked in while driving home. I broke into tears when I turned on my car radio and heard these lyrics from the group Steely Dan:
"'Just when it seems so clear that it is over now. Drink your big black cow and get out of here.'"
DJ Itch Got to Scratch: "The decline of the economy and being laid off from my job forced me to sell most of my personal stuff, except my DJ equipment. Now, I live with my mother. A few weeks ago, I had an urge to steal her TV. I thought that she watched it too much; it wasn't healthy. She would watch the 'Jerry Springer Show' in the daytime and 'American Idol' at night. I couldn't see the football game or reruns of the Sugar Ray fight."
DJ Old School Pete: "Yes, hard times will take you to the edge. Nevertheless, the unemployed, underemployed and part-time Djs truly appreciate the benevolence of Big Roscoe for allowing us to occasionally earn some money by playing old-school music to entertain the masses during Clubb Chicken Wing's Hot Wing Happy Hour."
