There were two drownings of kids in two days, so these guys claimed they were "raising awareness" of the dangers of drowning. Gee, what great minds we have on the airwaves...

"Raising Awareness"--the modern-day battle cry of the scoundrel and idiot alike.

A few years ago a local radio host ran a similar ficticious scenario in which a local pet store owner had run out of rats to feed his pet boa, and so was going to feed them a couple of boxer puppies that hadn't sold.
You can't imagine the outrage - the cops were liternally banging on the door of the radio room.

Police say the hoax was insensitive to families of the drowning victims
What about the dogs that were listening in pure horror

What kind of imbecile would believe something like the radio station was promoting? Must be the same voters that voted for John Kerry....

C'mon - who could possibly think this was ever NOT a hoax, be serious - does anyone really think a radio show host would ever purposely drown a dog and announce he was doing so? Do people use their brains at all? It may have been in poor taste - but I am much more concerned that people are so stupid they actually took it as fact...

The one Boortz did with the sky divers throwing cats out of the planes and then diving to catch them was a hoot!
Irate felinatics were calling in, threatening to burn the
station!

I think there was a long thread here about it, someone bought into the story...

I'm reminded of a "mourning mother" at the center of a media circus. Killing her dead son daily.
