The station is being investigated by the Australian equivalent of the FCC. Apparently they may have violated Australian law by broadcasting the call without the consent of those at the hospital who were recorded.

I guess we'd better shut down half the radio stations in the country as I can't imagine most prankees approve of the joke.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

A tragic story all around.  I still don't understand why she hung herself, though; while the prank call may have been the proverbial tipping point, I highly doubt it was that alone that drove to commit suicide.

Quote from: GDS_StarfuryI dont think the radio hosts should be cancelled or get sued.

Agreed. As sad as the outcome of the story turned out to be, I think it's a bit odd to be laying it all at the feet of the two of them.
Also agreed.  The call was perhaps in poor taste, but certainly the DJ's had no malicious intent.  I feel bad for all the hate of which they're currently the object.

yup  the crazy girlfriend song
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

theyve been cancelled and are currently in hiding amid a flurry of hate mails and tweets

UK police have flown out to start the investigation - this puzzles me, i didnt think prank calls were illegal

Prank calls aren't illegal. A lot of media have an understanding on how to behave in doing them. If this is breached, it can cause issues for the station.

The investigation currently underway in England, is a coroner's report which aims to establish why the person died. Nothing more.

That picture of her scares the crap out of me, by the way.

I made the mistake of watching a couple of her videos, her eyes will now haunt my dreams... :-\

The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own. Aldous Huxley

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat
