In reply to the discussion: Duchess hoax: Australian radio station 'sought permission' [View all]aquart
(69,014 posts)37. THEY DID NOT GET PERMISSION FROM THE NURSE THEY ABUSED.

I rank "prank" calls to hospitals in the same category as "prank" calls to 911

That's one way to rationalize the maintenance of mean-spirited behavior...

Well hooey then they should not have broadcast it. That is not an excuse, it is a confession.
