You see if you reckon they're bothered at this point?

[Monty91]

And that's considered a successful prank call?

[JJSB]

and all the publicity it generated, and a suicide? Can't speak for these people and yet to see how they respond to this, but there's enough differences in the situations

[Ears are alight]

But have we not had enough recently on the media and privacy issues for these c**ts to have thought better before doing this? Ruining someone's life is not funny, making someone end theirs even less so. Utter scumbags.

[Monty91]

And as for boasting about the call, don't see the harm. You can't legislate for someone dying!

[Ears are alight]

the prank for all the publicity they could get. God only knows how they feel now, but whatever they get, they deserve a lot more than the poor woman they humiliated on the way to some cheap laughs deserved the shame that seems to have driven her to kill herself.

[Classic Jorge]

[Ears are alight]

How genuine do they appear to be about it?

Will their new apology be any more sincere?

And sorry, you don't see the harm?

[Monty91]

[Monty91]

Who cares if their apology was sincere? Why should they give a fúck? They are in the entertainment business.

[Monty91]

for time immemorial.

You can't account for someone killing themselves over it!

[Classic Jorge]

[Ears are alight]

That's a pretty good reason for them to give a f**k. Or if not them, it's why I do.

People dealing with stress at work (or whatever other issues add to it in their lives) should not have to have this stuff happen to them in the name of entertainment.

[JJSB]

Wonder how this usually works? The Royals must have a protocol for situations like this, call screeners, designated doctors etc, or surprisingly maybe they don't.

[sodd]

Folk pouring scorn on her because she was duped by a dreadful impression of The Queen?

[Ears are alight]

[Monty91]

cherry picking the situations in which it's ok to intrude on the lives of famous people.

[Billy Goat Sverige]

[Monty91]

I am assuming not, in which case, why the uproar this time?

[Hillary]

[Billy Goat Sverige]

[sodd]

[Monty91]

to find you guilty of flagrant hypocrisy in the position you're taking.

[Ears are alight]

[Monty91]

[Classic Jorge]

Sad that she's dead and all but if she hadnt seriously f**ked up in such a massive way then this wouldnt be an issue.

[Monty91]

whose modus operandi is to entertain through controversy.

[sodd]

It could be argued that the banning call is not unlike the 'let's ban all cars because they can kill' angle.
This is, I believe a rare, extreme case.

[Ears are alight]

for her job, and may not have been able to face the shame in front of her colleagues rather than the world's press. She would have known it was a serious error to have helped in disclosure. The radio people ought to have known better than to try to trap someone in that position.

[Monty91]

If they don't, then their outrage at this incident is rendered absolutely laughable.

[Hillary]

that such practices are fine and dandy in a moral sense.

Whether you can or should legislate against such behaviour (or indeed whether current laws cover the situation) is a separate discussion altogether of course.

[Monty91]

pre-empt their prank victims killing themselves afterwards?

[Ears are alight]

Bit rich to now accuse her of being the stupid one - that's the line the DJs took until recently - "We never thought we'd get away with it".

Anyway, I just think it's pretty despicable to take that line when the person on the receiving end of the malicious activity had more of a conscience than them.

Final word from me on the matter, I think.

[7evens]

The only thing worse are impressionists

[Maz]

[Monty91]

[Classic Jorge]

Rather than some really evil deliberate thing.

I actually feel a bit sad for the pregnant couple too, which is not something I'm inclined to naturally, given their privilege and position.

[Mc Gooner]

Then more people will get to discover what a cünt you are

[willich]

Aussie land still a problem for GB , ah the colony !
