I think our society has become desensitized to what is acceptable; shock jocks keep pushing that boundary (how low can they go) but for no respectable reason. I'm with you in saying I don't have to listen to them; I just wish floods of other people wouldn't listen to them, either.<br /><br />Great post.

That's America, we take the good with the bad. However, like anyone else, if these shock jocks indirectly or directly cause injury to another person, they shouldn't be allowed to hide behind "freedom of speech" or "entertainment" as an excuse. They should be judged in a court of law like anyone else. <br /><br />I was very sad to learn of this recent event in the UK and send my condolences to the woman's family.<br />Jolyse Barnetthttp://jolysebarnett.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2328314710399734301.post-3722785744918299572012-12-10T10:45:22.191-08:002012-12-10T10:45:22.191-08:00I feel exactly as you do, Donna - Don Rickles incl...I feel exactly as you do, Donna - Don Rickles included. I do not listen to shock jocks, and I feel angry and embarrassed for the people they dupe. I simply cannot understand the attraction/enjoyment in watching people squirm or blush. <br /><br />In this case, I don't blame them for this nurse's death, either. I can't help feel something else was going on in her life that caused her to react (if she indeed killed herself) in such an extreme manner. My heart aches for anyone so sad or disillusioned. I'm glad these shock jocks are off the air, but I do not blame them for this horrific outcome. <br /><br />Great post.

I will listen to Howard Stern if he's interviewing someone, but other than that, like you, I can't stand this form of humor. <br /><br />I think phone scams are childish. I very much dislike practical jokes. <br /><br />I do think we need to keep our sense of humor. Everyone is too PC these days, but like you said, we also need to be responsible.Maggie Van Wellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14348308839068250136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2328314710399734301.post-38348320911102169352012-12-10T05:44:14.256-08:002012-12-10T05:44:14.256-08:00I don't think it's necessary to embarrass ...I don't think it's necessary to embarrass or degrade any one for a laugh. I don't care for it and I don't listen to those stations. There's so much negativity all around us, and I am in constant awe that this behavior thrives in our society. People don't get rich over doing good or promoting positive actions - they get the most listeners from "shock and awe" tactics. Sad commentary on our society, I think.Debora Dennishttp://deboradennis.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
