So, on Wednesday my boyfriend and I were driving throught the mountains to get to his parent's house for thanksgiving. And something quite funny came on the radio.

This DJ called up a local pizza place.

pe-pizza employee
dj-disc jockey

pe- How can I help you?
dj- Yes hello, I would like to place an order.
pe- okay.
dj- I'm in market research and I'm going to be all alone on Thanksgiving. I was wondering if you could make me a turkey pizza?
pe- no.
dj- why not?
pe- we don't have the supplies here man, sorry.
dj- what if I paid you an extra 5 bucks or something for the extra work you would have to do?

This continued for another 5 minutes. At first, the employee was saying he couldn't help him. But I think that in the middle of the call, the employee got wise to his tricks and started being very obliging to the dj's every ludicrous request. Icluding cooking a turkey and dressing, delivering, and whatever else the dj asked of him. He waited for the perfect moment...

dj- So, you can bring it here on Thanksgiving?
pe- Yeah man, and while I'm at it, why don't I bring you a big helping of shut the hell up and go fuck yourself.
dj- What? (pwned, utterly pwned)
pe- You heard me, shut the hell up and go fuck yourself.
dj- I'm reporting you to corporate!
pe- You want to speak to my manager?
dj- No! I'm reporting you right to corporate!
pe- Whatever, fuck you. Go right ahead. *click*

I was all::super::yourock::worship::love::highfive: :muya: :flame::cs::roll:!!!
AWESOME!

And if the pizza guy's manager turns out to be a dumbass and fires him, we can round up manager and perform a ritual sacrifice.

I like! I like!

P.S.--I bet the DJ and the radio station get in further trouble due to the F-bombs which went over the air live.

It takes some serious, serious berries to jerk a guy around and then get pissed when he's had enough and calls you on it.

Some years ago one of those DJs got death threats for pretending to be the victim's doctor and asking him how often he masturbates.

My newest trainee is an ex dj. He's the one from the thread "please shoot me". I'm not going to lump them all into one category, but part of the reason this guy is SO hopeless and sad is because he refuses to listen. He's so used to everyone listening to him that he won't STFU and let someone else talk for once. A big part of learning the job where I work is, whether you like it or not, me explaining things along the way. You don't wanna listen to me or anyone else? There's the door.

Wow, what's with these readio DJs and prank calls? Don't get me wrong -- there was a time when I made prank calls, but that's when I was 12 or 13.

Some people need to grow up. :pissed:

I heard one on the net that was from a UK dj, and they called up a cheating gf and made her think that her bf was going to propose to her, then called her out for cheating. Dude, that is probably the cruelest thing I have ever heard in my life. Not only was it an incredibly immature way for the bf to handle things, but what a way to end the relationship. I felt so bad for her. I mean, they used her full name and everything! Anyone who listens to that station is going to know all about something that isn't really any of their business in the first place.

Dude, that is probably the cruelest thing I have ever heard in my life.

On the other hand, CHEATING isn't exactly something endearing to the heart of your significant other, either. If she was emotionally involved enough in the relationship to be crushed by the false hope followed by the hammer coming down, then she shouldn't have cheated. She hurt her boyfriend with a series of willful, long-term actions, and his revenge was the wyrd of that harm coming due all at once. Semi-public (it's only voice, and very few people would pay attention to the names) humiliation like that fits inside the boundaries of the Law of Threefold Return quite nicely on that type of betrayal, as far as I'm concerned.

That isn't defending the DJs and Morning Show Hosts that eat that stuff up for the ratings, though. Those guys just pander to the lowest common denominator the same way Howard Stern and Jerry Springer do.

While I think she got her just desserts, I think that was VERY immature for the BF tp do that to her. Yeah, she deserved it, but this just means that they're both assholes.

Well, you nailed the problem right there. Many DJs, including a few of the national ones, never did grow up.

The local alternative station once sent their office boy to break up with some dude's domineering bitch of a girlfriend via singing telegram. On Valentine's day. In a Starbucks.

This was after (among other things, according to this gentleman), she cheated on him, and GAVE AWAY HIS DOG. She also demanded that he propose to her, via singing telegram, that exact morning. Apparently, he was fed up, and decided to really twist the knife.

That is, of course, assuming that the whole thing wasn't just staged, but taking it at face value, it was damn entertaining. Especially since the last line of the song was "Guess what bitch, you've been dumped!", and she kept saying "What? This is a joke, right?" and the guy just kept singing the same line over and over. It wasn't so much that he was calling her names, but that he just kept singing the same line over and over. Was it mean? Horribly, deliciously so.

I gotta agree with JustADude, even if it was a mean thing for the guy to do..it was just desserts for the cheating girl IMO. Also, I've heard lots of DJ's do prank calls, they haven't went too far and while the person on the other hand was understandably confused, they were good sports about it in the end.

Did this guy realize it was a radio prank after?

Wanna hear some hilarious prank calls??? Richard Christy and Sal the Stockbroker from the Howard Stern show have made a career out of pranking shows on some Manhattan Public Access channel. They're really good. The use their own voices as well as soundboard clips from other people that have been on Stern's show. :roll:

This one had me laughing so hard I was in tears at one point! :roll::cry:

Warning: Lots of adult language. They can get away with this on satellite radio!

I disagree, I live by the golden Rule which is "Do unto Others as they would do unto you" or in modern terms, "Let the punishment fit the Crime". While its sucky, its called karma, and karma is a bitch.

I would have felt bad for the bf, but he chose to break things off with her that way, so he's every bit as cruel and immature as she is, IMO.

It's called a breaking point. BF hit it, and decided to make sure the now-Ex knew that it was OVER. I'm not a fan of it being broadcast on the radio, but hey, she cheated, so scarlet letter for her.:lol:

Oh, don't get me wrong, I am in no way condoning what that woman did, but it's far worse for the woman to be publicly humiliated for being unfaithful because of the negative stigma that society carries for women in regards to promiscuity. Did she deserve to be publicly humiliated? Perhaps, but the way this radio dj did it, it was just cruel and unusual punishment.

I would have felt bad for the bf, but he chose to break things off with her that way, so he's every bit as cruel and immature as she is, IMO.

I have to agree with you. And frankly, using her full name on the air is out of line, if you ask me. Sure, she deserves to get dumped, but I don't think she necessarily deserves to have the entire listening area know who she is and what she did. Not to in any way sound like I condone cheating, but she's not the first and she won't be the last to commit such a crime. Does she really deserve such public humiliation?

When I was in high school, my parents drove us to school in the mornings (I walked home and my brother took the bus home*, but since we all left at the same time, they just dropped us off). We happened to be driving at the same time the station we listened to did their phone scam (well-known, NYC radio show; they even have several CDs of phone scams available). We used to crack up in the car listening. Now I hear them sometimes and they usually just get on my nerves. (The afternoon show on the same station also does them, but they have a specific character that calls businesses; the morning show does various setups that are often arranged by family/friends of the victims.)

*My house is less than half a mile from the school; the school is in Mytown Boro, while we live in Mytown Township (only several hundred yards from the Boro line). If you live outside the boro, you get a bus. I preferred to walk. I was halfway home by the time the bus got out of the school grounds.

An aquaintance works for Richard and Sal, when I read the first post I thought of that, but couldn't think of their names, as I haven't listened since my hubby died. :lol: In EQ chat he trolls horribly (but is a perfect gentleman to me) just to figure out things that get people going for material to pass on to those two.

But personally, I can't hardly stomach those two. BUT the bits that DJs do that air out all the dirt in a relationship....I love those. Serves the lying cheaters right! I've been cheated on (can't say she has much character either, she's still with him) and I love to see liars get their comuppance.

There is a certain brand of tires that uses the "prank" format for their radio advertising.

I always wondered if they were scripted, or if he really calls up random businesses and starts asking annoying questions about their services, and then starts linking that to the brand of tire he's trying to sell.

They really annoy me. I think it's because, if they are real, I know just how annoying that can be, and if they aren't real, it gives people ideas.

Wow, that's the worst of both worlds. Annoying prank calls and annoying telemarketer. Not only are they shilling their own product, they're wasting the time of another company to do it.

Agreed anyone who gives away someone else's pet deserves whatever they get...

But does anyone know of a radio station that has played a prank like that on a cheating MAN?

Just curious, really.

I'm willing to bet they would if a woman came up to them with an inventive method for getting even. Remember, these stupid "shock" DJs are in for ratings, not sexism.

I find this all amusing, as the not-for-profit film company I work for is finishing up post-production on a film we made last winter about a radio dj who finds out, on his last night on the air, that his fiancee is cheating on him. I do the voice for the caller who lets him know what's going on. The whole rest of the movie is basically about that, it's combination comedy/drama, as he proceeds to pull some truly nasty stunts on the air.

I kind of have to agree with a lot of the above posters...while cheating is wrong, being called out, on air, possibly using your full name, when, unless it was a long term thing, like in the Snopes article, it was probably a mistake/bad judgement call, then having to deal with the repurcussions, is some pretty harsh punishment. I have cheated, it was a bad, horrible thing to do and I admit that, but I was punished enough by my own guilt, and didn't need to be called out on the air. Granted, I wasn't married and having an SO on the side. :p

I've always been partial to this fun little story: A woman discovers on a call-in radio show that her boyfriend is married. (http://www.snopes.com/love/betrayal/radio.asp).

A similar thing happened in Germany just a few months ago; the excerpt from the radio show got quite a bit of circulation on the net.

One of our bigger radio stations here in the Southwest had a competition going; they'd publish the serial number of a 10-Euro-note every day, and whoever called in and had the note in his possession, would win a thousand Euro (I think).

Now, that day a young woman - Tania - called. She claimed that she had the note, just not in her possession; she knew that she'd brought it home, since she wrote down the serial numbers of all 10s just for the competition, but apparently, her boyfriend/husband had taken it with him on his business trip to Munich the day before.

The DJs were game and said they'd call his mobile, and if he had the note, they'd win. So they call - and a woman answers. Annette.

Now, what you get then is a mixture of the DJs explaining the situation with the note, Tania continuously asking "Who's Annette? Who's Annette?", and the guy trying in vain to find an explanation, both for who Annette is, and for why he spent the 10-Euro-note in question on dinner with her.

It ends with Tania blowing up and then breaking down, the DJs trying to comfort her, the guy trying to downplay everything - and the very last sentence before the connection is broken, is ANNETTE asking, "Who's Tania?".

THAT is pwned!

Sad part of the story is (and I'm drawing from personal experience) the girl that finds out that she's the "other woman" will probably still date the bastard after he's already cheated on his gf/wife. I always shake my head at those women. The two times I found out that I was the "other woman" I bailed.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I am in no way condoning what that woman did, but it's far worse for the woman to be publicly humiliated for being unfaithful because of the negative stigma that society carries for women in regards to promiscuity.

The double standard exists because a woman can trick a man into raising a kid that isn't his. It happens a lot. In the U.S and England something like 8 percent of children are being raised by men who were tricked into thinking that they are theirs.

Did she deserve to be publicly humiliated? Perhaps, but the way this radio dj did it, it was just cruel and unusual punishment.

She needs to be entered into a database so that any guy who marries her knows to have any kids DNA tested before he gets emotionally involved with and spends a bunch of money on them.
