Radio DJ gets pwned during his own prank!

[Gabrielle Proctor]

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: !!!
AWESOME!

We need to track down pizza boy and start a religon around him. I hate the stupid radio dj pranks it's worse than frat boys.

Can I be high priestess?

Can I be high priestess?

It depends on the ceremonial robe, let me design my own and you can be whatever you want.

[Becks]

Fair enough.

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

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.

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.
