Ultimately, no one can really be charged with murder, as they only suggested this, and did not force the woman o do it.

So… Stupid People Die… How is this anything new?? I see this as Darwinism working perfectly.

You know if the nurse went on air stating the risks involved, then the contestants also knew the risks involved. This is the U.S. so I am sure there will be years worth of lawsuits to come. But really I don’t think the DJ’s should take all the heat. I know the radio station fired them to try to save face. But beyond that, any lawsuits should go directly to the radio station.

The firings are nothing more than a political move to save the station’s face. 107.9 in Sacramento is like -the- teen radio station. If they get any serious blowback (which they will), they’ll see thousands of advertising dollars disappear.

Just goes to show that the almighty dollar once again reigns supreme. Lucas and Mainy will surely find another gig soon.

you can’t insure stupid people.. they always find a way to die..
people should have enough brain, to decide what to do, and what not..
and this is independent from any contest..

knowing that someone warned them on air of the dangers, I’d say they should be held responsible

Whoever it was that came up with the idea for the contest should have definitely been fired. I can’t really see that 10 employees should be held responsible. Entercom Communications (the parent company) should step up to the plate and provide some help for the woman’s kids and family.
