Looks like they bit off more than they could chew.....

This kind of stuff is not funny. Just dumb. *sigh*

It is not necessary to shock the audience in order to be entertaining or funny. It's a sad commentary that so many entertainers rely on this stuff. In the final analysis, making the audience uncomfortable probably hurts more than it helps, anyway.

And just exactly what part of that would qualify as "entertainming or funny"? And who would categorize these morons were "entertainers"?

Okay, THAT wasn't even interesting. It was claptrap by a humorless piece of human debris that THINKS he's edgy and compelling. Who hired this clod? More importantly, who's gonna fire him?
Thanks for setting talented, hard working jocks back 25 years.
Hey, the 80's called ... they don't want anything to do with you either!
Imbecile.

There is a Mobile-area child dead and a mother in jail from a tragic incident a few years ago where the small child was left alone and the house or apartment burned down. The single mother apparently couldn't find or afford a babysitter and keep her night job that supported both of them.

The entire prank was low class, and knowing the above story (IMO) is why Miguel Fuller's quoted 'sympathy' almost comes off as a dumber joke. I doubt his desperation really runs that deep.

Like or dislike, this happens EVERYWHERE in radio and there are companies that provide actors for morning show bits. I used to have a part-timer that worked for me in Memphis and he would do this sort of thing on Mancow's show. I think they paid him fifty bucks every time he acted out a roll on his show.
