Oh okay. So if you "happen" to have this radio station as a favourite but one part of that had an unforeseen circumstance makes you semi guilty? Yes then. How many You Tube clips , prank shows or spoof films have you refused to watch recently? Be honest.
Honestly, All of them (except the girl in the life on here, but only watched half of that).
I choose what I listen to or watch carefully. i don't listen to commercial radio stations because to me they are mindless crap. I don't watch commerical TV for the same reasons. I do enjoy the Pranks of The Chaser/CNNNN/ The hamster wheel but see them more as political satire and generally not aimed to make fools of ordinary "stupid' people as Tyrone would describe them.
The nurse is a fool of course what she should have said is, "Kate? She's dead. But don't worry we have replaced her with a spong headed lizard creature from Blargon 5, now f*** off you Aussie prick, I've got important work to do".
So its OK, so long as it's only when people take the piss out of people you have no great care for?
I remember when the Chaser interrupted a Bali Bombings memorial service, when they took the piss out of the make a wish foundation. I mean there's no ordinary people involved in that is there?
Let's be honest, the Chasers done plenty of things that are more offensive than making a call you thought would never go through and then asking some tame questions.
so i set you a challenge
start a thread with your evidence that the royal family are
1/inbred pedos
2/murderers
3/invent wars
i am naturally presuming you are talking about the modern day royal family and not talking about crap that went on hundreds of years ago.
you can even include evidence why you think they had this nurse killed
start the thread within 7 days.....that should give you enough time to get some youtube videos together
are you game?
do you want this debate? or are you comfortable with spreading lies(my opinion) and not backing it up
Change that to 'people I think deserve it" then yes you are about spot on. Does a 'stupid' working in a hospital deserve it? No.
and yes I agree the Chaser have gone too far on many occasions (and I accept some responsibilty for those occasions as I am encouraging them as part of their viewing figures).
That's up to the individual making the call. There was no malice in the call, no over the top questions to expose national secrets.
That's what pranks are supposed to be. A prank doesn't work if you don't have a gullible victim.
So then how are you any different to those who make those stupid radio stations popular?
Isn't it really just the old same shit different bucket adage?
Personally I listen to Gold 104 and avoid all political crap on the ABC like the plague.
I respect the fact you have made a choice and have thought about it. I am not sure everybody does this. Many many people watch or listen to what is put in front of them without any thought at all (in my humble opinion of course).
This explains the undiluted shite that streams from or radios and televisions. That said i do understand that there is the possibility that i am wrong and people do carefully choose what they are watching. However i try not to go far down this road of thought as it would kill all my respect for the human race.
As for The Chaser although i do accept they go too far they also say a lot of things i beleive need to be said. IMHO they do far more good than bad and on balance are a force for good in the world. I have thought about it and made my choice.
Can the same be said for the output of these Shock Jocks? Or is it mostly dross with a small worthwhile part?
I agree with that opinion. How else doe shit like jersey Shore or Big Brother rate.
While it's a sexist statement I can live with it. Blame on the whole the female of the species for this phenomenon. Who thirsts more for drama, gossip and celebrities more than any other demographic on the planet?
Are they shock jocks though?
Putting on a silly accent and making a silly call in this case there wasn't much shocking about it.
They aren't exactly in the Howard Stern offensiveness bracket.
Found this and I thought of you. xx

what a senseless waste. It truly is time to abolish the monarchy, one of the last remenants of the superstitious age which hinders humankind.
I think everyone is directing their anger/frustration in the wrong direction. The hospital should be picking up the rap for this. They are a high profile hospital and had in their care the future queen of England as well as an unborn future king/queen. They no doubt charge higher than average fees (to keep the riff raff out) so one would expect they should have receptionists on duty all around the clock. You would also expect them to have some specifically to field any calls relating to the patient as they would be aware that newspapers etc would be trying to get info. It seems to me the Hospital administration are very cleverly jumping on the misplaced public outrage at the two DJs to divert any culpability on themselves.
The two nurses were certainly gullible but that could be partly excused by the time of the call which would be towards the end of a night shift. However, any enquiry will no doubt look at what instructions were given to staff when the Duchess was first admitted.
As for the DJs, I have no problem with the prank however, they and or their legal team should have thought twice about broadcasting any info about the condition of the Duchess knowing that would be a breach of confidentiallity with consequences for the nurse that gave the information. It should't matter how minor the info, they should have edited that out prior to broadcast and it does make you wonder about the legal advice they received before hand.
ah exactly........massive over reaction all round........ although kyle sandilands is a top knotch fucktard....commercial radio in oz is basically out of control.......utter bollocks...!! feel sorry for the nurse but surely the whole thing could have been handled differently by the hospital.
It was pointed out to me today that the two DJ's making the call had a legal obligation to inform both recipients that the call was being recorded and a legal obligation to obtain their permission to broadcast it. So at the very least they should be getting done for that.
