1994: O&A got together, the year Teen Suicide rates reached their apex in our society.
As O&A's career progressed, the Teen Suicide numbers dropped to record-setting lows, coinciding with O&A's peak popularity. The biggest kid-killing of this era (Columbine) took place during a year when kid suicide was on the downswing.
2003 was recorded as the first calendar year since 1994 without any O&A content produced, and it is reflected in the numbers... Teens began killing themselves almost immediately after WNEW fired O&A... Look at the TRIANGLE of death that was caused by their negligence until 2004... when XM picked them up...
The death spiral continued until 2004, (ten years after O&A had seemingly solved the issue for our society.) O&A returned once more on XM, and the suicide rate dropped immediately, but in 2007 when O&A lost WYSP and a few other cities... The whole Grape Fight occurred, and the kids realized divorce was inevitable. The honeymoon was over.
As O&A's chemistry begins to wane (through no fault of Opie's own) the numbers GRADUALLY climb, and they only begin to spike again in 2014 when Anthony is officially fired.
The numbers don't lie. Look at the chart for yourself. Compare it to other sources. It's literally true. Opie & Anthony was a magical time in our lives, and it can happen again... Save the kids. Reunite Opie & Anthony...
