Radio DJ gets pwned during his own prank!

[kibbles]

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.

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

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

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 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.

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.

Okay...THAT'S funny. If everything about was true, she really deserved that. That girl had it coming for giving away someone else's pet.

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.

I've always been partial to this fun little story: A woman discovers on a call-in radio show that her boyfriend is married. .

I have but one to say to "Greg":



That is all.

OMG THAT was AWSOME!

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.

Make sure you listen to the very last second.

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. 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.

[Saydrah]

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.

[Broomjockey]

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.
