Heck no! I hate WKLQ...I didn't figure they were really going to kill a dog (but I wanted to make a stink just in case.) The main reason why I am mad is because WKLQ is a station that has lost a lot of listeners, and this was a stunt to get people back. In a newscast last night, I heard that the show Howard Stern dropped the station over a year ago, and KLQ has been fighting with low ratings. The local news even said that this was all for publicity. With that in mind, two children DID drown this week, and I feel that the station did this stunt not to "help the children" but to bring attention to their crappy radio show. (which has now been a proven success.)
I think this was unethical, tasteless and I feel that they should be fired for using a tragedy to make themselves look better.
I guess they do a lot for our troops though, so I won't slap them if I see them on the street, lol.
Thank you everyone for helping out today. I am glad the stunt was fake...but I am still angry none the less!
And sorry that it was so poorly written...that’s what I get for cutting and pasting from threads at 7am!
