6 and 5. John & Ken. If Manny Pacquiao is banned from the Grove for his intolerant stance toward same-sex marriage, you'd have to consider this KFI AM 640 duo for its comments about immigrants, Asian Americans and black people. They called Whitney Houston a "crack ho" after her death. And early this year they called out "certain cultures" that "rip people off," mentioning "Korean painter scam guys." Makes us not want to shop in the same place as these two, frankly.
