Steppin' Out magazine editor Chaunce Hayden has reportedly been receiving death threats for criticizing satellite radio shock jock Howard Stern.
...
Enraged fans started posting threatening messages on the Stern Fan Network after Stern slammed Hayden on his show, The Daily News said.
"We're not trying to stifle anybody's free speech, but it's against the law to threaten a man's life or threaten him with bodily harm," a Bergen County detective told the Daily News. "It's serious, and it's not something that can be tolerated."
That's the friendliest reminder I've ever seen that death threats are against the law. It wouldn't look out of place for the detective to have prefaced his remark with "Geewillikers."
Bet it'll still piss Jeff Jarvis off, though.
