Maybe you think it's ok to intentionally fuck with people's lives, hopes, and dreams and then humiliate them in front of their families for cheap radio gimicks. I have respect for people and I'm not cool with that. I hope she wins a ton of money from them for this.

I tend to react rather strongly when someone uses abject humiliation of others for their own gain. To publicly jerk someone around for a cheap chuckle and publicity, especially when they deliberately hooked someone - they gave her the false world view of finally getting the chance to get her family ahead of the steamroller instead of under the fucking thing . . . I sincerely hope the station gets liquidated. Management that created an atmosphere where on-air personalities pulled this crap as an expression of station policy should get fined big time, and hopefully fired as well. I hope the lady a) gets her 100 thousand dollars b) a settlement for quite a bit more than that, and c) an opportunity to take a stand for all the folks that get fucked over by corporate fat cats bent on their own idle amusement.
