Ok, so I feel like this whole Ant being fired thing is a little fishy considering the timing. It is no surprise that none of the guys on the show are happy with their current situation at Sirius. Money aside, they have mentioned time and time again how the company won't let them do anything. And that the current bit is "10 days without an apology." Then there is the fact that their contract renewal is up this fall. And the fact that despite his rants, Ant is the smartest and most knowledgable one on the show, if you listen to past shows he is always the one that says legally what they can and can't do, and what they can and can't say. So for him to explode on twitter like this with racial comments, while not the first time he has done it, he most likely knew the outcome.

In conclusion I wouldn't be surprised if this was his way out of his contract, and we may be seeing Opie and jimmy following suit soon in their own way. Or this is a way of showing Sirius just how many listeners they have to make it easier for contract negotiations. I honestly wouldn't be surprised to find out that Anthony knows the girl in the picture and this was another one of their bits.

Or I'm just an idiot, I'm sure the rest of you will let me know.
