That joke doesn't seem so funny now does it?

Nurse victim [^]of prank call commits suicide. I bet them DJ's are regretting it now, although obviously they couldn't have forseen that consequence.

This is becoming all too common, and it almost ranks alongside the various fraudulent calls that we get at home; the "I am calling from Microsoft support" calls are starting up again. This poor woman was duped by these guys and it is appalling to think that she may have taken her life as a result. People really ought to think a bit more carefully about what practical jokes they play, and who they play them on.
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

I am having a lot of difficulty following the text version, what was the actual prank? :doh:

Some Australian radio DJs called the hospital pretending they were the Queen (?) and asked about Kate's pregnancy medical status. It is a shame that nobody was alert enough to see this woman's distress. :rose:

Two Aussie DJ's phoned the hospital Kate Middleton was in and pretended to be the Queen and Prince Charles the Nurse fell for it and answered questions about Kate's health. It has been well publicised in England, so I'm guessing the humiliation was too much for her.

I think it was entirely predictable. Of course the royals were going to have her snuffed following her lapse in thinking. :)

Oh, that makes more sense...at least in reference to the prank, but I don't see why someone would commit suicide over that... :doh:

A paranoid mind might think the news item was a prank by itself. For the record, I am NOT paranoid, I repeat, I am NOT paranoid!

Personally, if a fart is bad enough to cause gagging, I don't want to be there! But if you want to gag on them, feel free! Please no suicide over this!

You would be amazed at some of the reasons that people feel suicidal. What seems trivial to you may be truly a matter of life and death to someone else.

True. And I can't say I even begin to understand how most people react to things like embarrassment, it's not a feeling I'm well acquainted with. I can't name a time I've felt embarrassed, though I can name a few times when people think I should have been.

Then why do you keep moving to try and block the camera? It won't work - there are others.
If you get an email telling you that you can catch Swine Flu from tinned pork then just delete it. It's Spam.
