This is technically baseball-related, but I thought it would resonate with people in general. Just how will people go for ratings? Have these people no shame?
Radio DJ stoops to committing prank on Kile
Associated Press
PHOENIX -- St. Louis manager Tony La Russa is irate over a Phoenix-area disc jockey who called the widow of Cardinals pitcher Darryl Kile and asked if she had a date for Thursday's playoff game.
Flynn Kile hung up the phone after KUPD-FM radio personality Beau Duran asked her the question in a call to her Phoenix hotel room, The Arizona Republic reported on its Web site Thursday night.
Chuck Artigue, the market manager for the Sandusky Group which owns KUPD, said the prank "was in terribly bad taste'' but no action would be taken against Duran.
However, La Russa was upset about the situation.
"I'm vehement in saying that whoever is responsible should suffer serious and dire consequences,'' La Russa said. "If we (the Cardinals) could get our hands on them, we would deal with them
physically. It was so brutal that something should happen to them. I hope whoever was responsible gets nailed.''
Artigue said he talked to both major league baseball officials and Arizona Diamondbacks president Rich Dozer to apologize.
Darryl Kile, 33, was found dead in his bed at the team's hotel in Chicago on June 22. An autopsy showed he died from a blockage of the arteries supplying the heart.
Seriously. What was this guy thinking? Did he think it would be funny?
