Sweet.  So I can get medical information under false pretenses on whoever I want?

Hey! Let's call em up, pretend to be the police, and tell em they got the firing squad!

There's truly nothing more useless than a "deejay" except for maybe X "athletes" and Kardashians.

, being douchey.

LowbrowDeluxe: Sweet.  So I can get medical information under false pretenses on whoever I want?

From someone in another country, absolutely.

LowbrowDeluxe: Sweet.  So I can get medical information under false pretenses on whoever I want?

That's on the dead nurse, not the DJs. You can ask - it is up to the medical staff not to give it out.

Despite the "all in good fun" guffawing that obnoxious radio DJs claim, you know these guys love screwing with people and causing harm.  Remember such gems as "War of the Roses" - the DJs call a married guy and tell him he's won roses he can send to anyone.  Dude sends them to his kid's babysitter, or whoever he's tongue puppeting, all while the wife is on the line, listening to the letch.  Is that supposed to be "all in good fun?"  Because that's going to fark some shiat up - and the DJs know it.  The win for them is breaking the couple up.  A total failure would be the guy sending the flowers to his wife.  They want destruction and mayhem for the laughs.

In that light, you've really got to hand it to these two DJs.  They deserve the crown of ultimate morning show gods.  They actually executed a prank that resulted in a married woman, mother of two, killing herself afterward.  I mean, how farking awesome is that?  With a phone call they were able to murder a woman by proxy and get away with it.  Say what you will about medical records, and morality, and whatever else - but you've got to pat these guys on the back.

I'm sure there was luck involved.  The woman who ended up stepping off of the toilet with the rope around her neck, to then claw and gag as life for her slowly faded black, she had to be sort of teetering already.  Maybe the marriage was rocky, the kids were unloving pains in the tits, or the old nursing career turned out to be professional ass wiper and vomit mopper.  Whatever - the DJs nailed her at the right moment and pushed her over the edge.

I don't want to sound like a dick, but bad-farking-ass.

Weenie and the Butt! Weenie and the Butt! Weenie and the Butt! Weenie and the Butt! Weenie and the Butt!

The person who killed themselves was not the nurse giving the "information" but the one who transfered the call. No actual/useful medical information was given to the to the obvious pranksters.

Oh, I missed that then. I do not know why she felt she needed to kill herself (other than that the British take their royalty waaaaaaaaaay too seriously) but it's pretty obvious that there were serious mental issues at work beyond this. The DJs are monsterous dicks, yes. But to put the blame for her death on them isn't fair. If it wasn't the call, it would have been the person who flipped her off in traffic. Or her neighbor biatching about her dog, etc.

Ever notice how DJs laugh so *hard* at whatever it is they're doing?  I never laugh, nor has anyone I've asked.

Locally we have one morning show with a couple of guys called "Lex and Terry".  Not only are these guys HACKS, they're the worst kind.....Howard Stern wanna-be hacks.  Oh, and they love calling other DJs hacks.

I actually listened to them for a while, but I decided I'd had enough when one of them took a mic into the toilet and broadcasted himself taking a dump.

Stay classy, guys.

She killed herself because she was a moron, she could have been like the other nurse who was involved and just laughed it off

Haven't listened to "morning drive DJ's" in years, curious why anyone else still would be.

I'm thinkin' that committing suicide, while an absolutely horrendous act, is sure a whole hell of a lot better than taking a gun and shooting people.

/Pacifist. So bite me.

That is their crime, it is also their punishment.

mama2tnt: I'm thinkin' that committing suicide, while an absolutely horrendous act, is sure a whole hell of a lot better than taking a gun and shooting people.

True, that.

Whatever jerky boys and crank yankers were still funny

Generation_D: Haven't listened to "morning drive DJ's" in years, curious why anyone else still would be.

People who listen to shock jocks are people with a stunted and malicious sense of humor.

almandot: Whatever jerky boys and crank yankers were still funny

No, no they were not and you are a person whose maturity and emotional development is sadly under developed.

Genevieve Marie: Dr J Zoidberg: She killed herself because she was a moron

No, she killed herself because she was a lonely, fragile person who was working all the time (Basically living at work) away from her family and because she had a history of depression- but these jerks did help trigger it. It has to be pretty miserable waking up every day to headlines from the world media about how stupid you are not to be able to tell that the accents were fake- especially when English is your second language, and so detecting regional accents is probably difficult. And especially when your life is basically your job, and now you feel incompetent there too.

The DJs couldn't have predicted her suicide, and I understand that and don't think they should be charged. But this is EXACTLY why that type of prank is such a terrible idea. At the very least, you're holding someone up to public ridicule without their consent. Yes, someone less fragile wouldn't have killed themselves over this, but that's exactly the thing with this kind of prank- you have no idea who you're pulling it on, or what their life is like, or how they'll take it.

It was really cruel.

If she was so ashamed then she could have gone and apologized to Kate Middleton and other members of the royal family since she was staying at the hospital she worked at and they would have told her the same thing they told everybody else, that they didn't even care.

Dr J Zoidberg:
She killed herself because she was a moron, she could have been like the other nurse who was involved and just laughed it off

That's my take too. The DJs were extremely unlucky their prank victim was mentally ill. I understand why they were fired, but I don't think they even deserved that.

I'm just pissed that they were crucified in some media. Like they could have predicted that someone's reaction to a harmless prank would be to kill themself.

Generation_D: Haven't listened to "morning drive DJ's" in years, curious why anyone else still would be.

I picked up a rental car that didn't have an input for my phone and it was already tuned to a station that was playing a morning show like that. I was thinking about my trip itinerary and it took about 8 minutes for me to realize what I was listening to and that my brain had begun to leak out of my ear.

The worst you can say about them is that they're typical morning radio DJs.

Which would have done precisely nothing about the fact that she was being totally raked over the coals in the press around the world. Very few people experience that, and I think casually dismissing what that would be like doesn't show much empathy for others.

Then again, neither does calling someone who committed suicide a "moron".

Raked over the coals? Nobody would have ever remembered her name if she hadn't decided to kill herself and this all would have been forgotten a week later. It's not like the pregnancy wasn't going to get out at some time or another

I know it's been said before, but who the fark prank calls a hospital?

They should have been fired just for that, not for anything the nurse did.

Genevieve Marie: Dr J Zoidberg: Raked over the coals? Nobody would have ever remembered her name if she hadn't decided to kill herself and this all would have been forgotten a week later.

Not by the people she worked with- she'd still be dealing with embarrassment there. And yes, it would have blown over, but can you imagine reading hundreds of stories about what a fark up you are for doing your best to do your job?

Feeling like the butt of a joke is embarrassing in a best case scenario- feeling like the butt of a joke where the whole world is laughing at you when you're already sad, lonely and depressed? That's brutal.

Another nurse who probably had a very similar work schedule and working conditions went through the exact same situation as her and thought it was amusing.

Yes, prank calls are lame and unfunny but I don't blame the DJs because there was no way they could have known that the reaction she would have to a prank would be to kill herself. That's not a normal reaction to a prank.

Genevieve Marie: Dr J Zoidberg: and thought it was amusing.

What on earth makes you think that the other nurse thought it was amusing?

She only attempted suicide.

Had there ever been a prank call funny to anyone other the person making the call?

These guys should be prosecuted just for being horrible DJs.

Genevieve Marie: Dr J Zoidberg: and thought it was amusing.

What on earth makes you think that the other nurse thought it was amusing?

She said it at some point that she laughed about the prank before everyone found out the other nurse was dead. The morning show I listened to talked about it because they couldn't believe the DJs were being blamed.

while I agree they are douchebags for sure--I also think we have to remember this woman was clearly, clealy depressed. Persecuting them feels like the right thing to do, but this wasn't nearly as directly harmful as the "War of the Roses" bit which only has the intent to hurt people. The woman wasn't even the main person they spoke with, the ...

Hell she attempted suicide twice before

mcmnky: Had there ever been a prank call funny to anyone other the person making the call?

Nope. Pranks like this where someone is basically meant to come out looking stupid and idiotic to an audience of strangers are terrible.

Punk'd, while a very stupid show, at least targets people who have decided to have public images, are tailored specifically to those people, and are performed by friends (or at least acquaintances) of the targets. I don't care for the show or Ashton Kutcher, but at least someone doing pranks isn't malicious about it.

I'd love to see a citation on that if you can find one- I followed that story pretty closely and never saw anything about the other nurse finding it amusing. There were only a few days between it and when Ms. Saldanha took her life, and during those days the hospital was being bombarded with calls and press saying the women involved should be fired.

I don't have a citation offhand. The show's news guy brought it up because as morning show hosts they were all somewhat pissed that the DJs were the ones getting blamed for all of this
