I don't think they're funny at all. If that's the best they can do to try to entertain their listening audience, they need to find another profession. Many times the recipients of their pranks get hurt or embarassed by their actions. I say, grow up, be responsible and learn how to entertain an audience, not at the expense of someone else.

If they didn't have an audience, they wouldn't have a platform.

Does anybody else think the suicide was actually a murder? That was my initial response and quite surprisingly, I've heard others with the same sentiment.

Whenever there are suicides revolving around the "elite" of the world, we should always question them.

Give me a break.
What ever happened to personal responsibility?
It sounds like the mindless masses, jump on the bandwagon and want to take these DJ's to task. (They have both said, that they didn't even think, their call would get through).
All the mothers I know, would go to the end of the world, to stay alive to raise their children.
This is obviously one woman, who had other issues, (mental or otherwise), to do such a selfish act, to deprive her children of their mother.

With the moniker of 'Shock Jock' is it any question on whether they have any brains in good working order, you know, sane, rational, level headed. I didn't think so.

I don't know, I think they need to grow up. When I turn on the radio I want to hear music. If I want to laugh I'll go listen to Tim Hawkins. Just my humble opinion.

@Jeffrey Rosenfield, although the prank was "mild", it could have led to more serious repercussions. If you're not familiar with the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), in essence it protects a person's medical status from being disclosed to parties who do not have a need to know. If a medical professional here in the States was found guilty of having violated it, it is pretty much the "kiss of death" to their present and future career opportunities. I don't know how it is in Britain, but I would like to think they would take this issue very seriously. It's very tragic the woman died under mysterious circumstances; however, let's hope that it will act as a springboard and keep others from being duped as well.

Well said Jennifer. My point about it being mild was in relationship to the nurse who fielded the call. All she did was patch it through to the duty nurse. It was that woman who revealed all the information about Kate Middleton's condition. Perhaps mild was the wrong word to use. What I meant was the woman who tragically took her own life really didn't do anything wrong in regards to what you are referring to, the HIPAA. True, she should not have sent the call through, but she did not reveal any confidential patient information.

All the media was all over it sayin' "Wow, look what these two shock jocks did", now this woman goes and does something stupid and it's their fault??? Bunch of hypocrites.

Being a nurse is a little bit more difficult then one would think. So many human error mistakes every day due to multitasking that come near of taking your license thus your job or worst. I do not blame the jocks how would they know this? I would only suspect that they may have attempted to violate a patients right to privacy by fooling a very busy nurse that went with the odds in favor of the heart?

@Zigsauered, As a person who is deeply involved in public health, as well as the well-beings that are associated with it, you have my full agreement!

@Jennifer Logan-Porter, I definitely agree it was not handled properly and that the whole incident did not need to happen. It should have ended as soon as someone called the hospital pretending to be the Queen of England and was actually put through to the patient's room! Perhaps, and obviously I'm just speculating, that is the underlying cause of why the nurse tragically took her own life - not because any confidential information was revealed, but because the DJs were able to pull off such a simple, childish ruse. As they have stated, they never expected to be put through.

For crying out loud!!! It was a JOKE! What happened to sense of humor???? These days, people are killing themselves over something so trivial!!! I do not blame the the radio boys. The nurse made her choice to die, what ever her reason/s were! Let's see the truth for this matter! Years ago, we all took a joke for a joke and people did not commit suicide over something so stupid!
