This prank phone call hullaballoo

[Curly]

The DJ's didn't do a whole load of wrong imo.
Poor lass obviously had issues http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/frown.gif *
















* Non Christmas smilies bunch of ****

[Billy Goat Sverige]

My mother thinks i'm a massive c**t.

[Ergy]

no matter what happens.

[Maravilloso Marvo]

You are a massive ****.

[Classic Jorge]

[Snin]

[Curly]

with girl's front bottoms and such

[Snin]

[Monty91]

through.

[Hillary]

a completely thoughtless thing to do. Having breached security, the responsible thing to do would be to hand the tape over, not broadcast it.

[Snin]

[Hillary]

[Monty91]

"So what made you think this kind of prank was acceptable?"

"Oh nothing except the fact that pranks of this nature have been around since the invention of the telephone with absolutely no one in the entire world thinking of them as anything other than a bit of harmless fun"

[Curly]

A childish prank and how someone could take it so seriously http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/shrug.gif Maybe it's just me

[Billy Goat Sverige]

[Brentwood]

think twice about airing it

The show producers should be saying sorry, not the presenters imo.

[Snin]

as funny my some mindless ozzy pond life and will make us lots of money in advertising but NO we wont do that, we will tell our bosses thaqt instead we want to send the tapes to secuirty and say no more about it...

[Monty91]

[Curly]

I honestly feel for the girl but I'm sorry,she obviously needed help prior to this

[Snin]

its the way it works..remember beedle

[Classic Jorge]

[Monty91]

or the ensuing mock-hysteria and indigniation by the public and media?

[Classic Jorge]

[insert Beadle joke here]

[Luis Anaconda]

they had recorded illegally. Prank or no prank, they broke the law, hence the police will focus on that

[Brentwood]

and how she had single handedly jeapordised their reputation as the go to place for royal poshies

[Billy Goat Sverige]

[Monty91]

and so my thoughts and sympathy are very much with them.

[Snin]

levels of self taking of life coming into the mainstream imo

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUHk2RSMCS8


but seriously poor lady was obviously mental

[Luis Anaconda]

[Classic Jorge]

Is it that you have to inform people they are being recorded, and what the purpose of the recording is, otherwise recording is illegal?

[Snin]

i think its prince phillips death squad out on the loose again, they have been bored since Paris

[Maravilloso Marvo]

[Classic Jorge]

[Snin]

[Luis Anaconda]

they could have got permission afterwards - as the afore-mentioned Beadle would always do and the person agreed they could broadcast

[Classic Jorge]

[Snin]

[Monty91]

telephone pranks has ever been prosecuted before.

[redgunamo]

[Classic Jorge]

[Hillary]

To be honest, prank phone calls are an utter invasion of privacy.

[Snin]

people in sting operations etc then play it its not illegal..its not like the fat shaike used to inform people he was recording them before offering them bribes to throw no balls then asked permission to put the clips on the media websites is it ?

[Hillary]

the correct way to behave.

[Snin]

[Curly]

I'm sure everyone being filmed and recorded coming out of court and the like don't give their permission for that to be shown on the evening news.

[Classic Jorge]

[Luis Anaconda]

which is why the radio station is claiming they did try and contact the hospital. Just because it is a "prank" doesn't make it above the law. Shows that generally specialise in these things will nearly always have release forms that the "victim" will sign. Most ho along with the joke, but there are plenty that won't have been broadcast

[Hillary]

[Snin]

mental issues..its a shame they crossed each others path but no ones to blame for her actual death

[Red N White Army]

Most aren't really thinking straight imo

[Luis Anaconda]

but for instance if you read the small print about buying a football ticket, it will say that by buying this you agree to being filmed and that being used etc etc

[Monty91]

and pretending to be fellow celebrities are broadcast without permission.

At the time of Saldanha’s suicide, 2Day FM was serving two five-year license probations over stunts that violated Australia’s broadcast code. In August 2009, DJ Kyle Sandilands of “The Kyle and Jackie O Show” got a 14-year-old girl to admit that she had been raped after strapping her to a polygraph machine while her mother quizzed her about her sexual activities. “I’ve already told you the story about this, and don’t look at me and smile because it’s not funny,” the girl said on air. “Oh OK, I got raped when I was 12 years old.” Cruelly, Sandilands pressed on, asking, “Right, and is that the only sexual experience you had?”

The show was taken off air following protests from listeners and the then-prime minister. The station’s (very) formal statement at the time: “Following a great deal of consideration and having consulted Jackie O and all stakeholders, Austereo has formed the view that it is in the interest of all parties, for the ‘Kyle & Jackie O Show’ to go into recess until we have completed an across-the-networks review of the principals and protocols of our interaction with our audience.”

The program was reinstated three weeks later.

[Luis Anaconda]

If you mean something like Dead Ringers, they certainly did. How many of these shows are there?

[Classic Jorge]

[Classic Jorge]

[The Rob2]

just because it involved royals

going to hospital for morning sickness is a f**king joke anyway

[Curly]

[Monty91]

[Monty91]

There are endless prank calls on youtube - i'm sure we both know how many received permission from their victims.

The station that called Sarah Palin pretending to be vladimir putin? You think she gave permission for it to be aired?

And millions of others...

Of course the internet throws up a completely different conundrum particularly covering many different countries and sets of laws, bit silly to compare **** put on youtube with a radio station to be quite honest. If a law has been broken and reported to the police they have to follow it up - why they would have to justify following it up, as your original point stated because someone in another country might have have offended someone else in an entirely different country seems, I am not sure

[Monty91]

[Luis Anaconda]

"Palin seemed unsuspicious during the call, which lasted about six minutes. When told she was being pranked, Palin took the news well, asking what radio station she was on before suddenly getting off the line. Governor Palin received a phone call on Saturday from a French Canadian talk show host claiming to be French President Nicholas Sarkozy. Governor Palin was mildly amused to learn that she had joined the ranks of heads of state, including President Sarkozy, and other celebrities in being targeted by these pranksters. C'est la vie."

[Classic Jorge]

[Luis Anaconda]

that they were being set up is a completely different issue, not related to this one at all

[Classic Jorge]

[Monty91]

[Curly]

Point being the call only exacerbated an existing problem.Even ole Big Ears made a joke of it the next day

[Classic Jorge]

He's speaking sense

[Monty91]

not least because they're often live.

Brand and Ross were admonished for perceived immorality, not illegality (granted they didn't actually get through to sachs)

[Luis Anaconda]

[Curly]

[JJSB]

in reality the lady probably had other issues which when this came on top off them, was the tipping point.
