Radio DJ gets pwned during his own prank!

[myswtghst]

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.

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

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.
