Baron Silas Greenback

Seems like telling lies to humiliate someone on air is just fucking hilarious to some people. I think telling lies with the sole and only purpose of humiliating someone in front of a large audience is a dick move. And I sincerely hope that anyone who finds it funny gets humiliated by someone lying to them one day.

I sniggered but it certainly wasn't a full on belly laugh, I wasn't listening to Bhuja after all ( thoroughly recommend that by the way, great Radio ), does that just mean you hope I get mildly embarrassed by a white lie ?

Baron Silas Greenback

And now that you know they just lied to humiliate someone? Still amusing?

Well it's no Eddie Murphy Raw or Delirious.....but yeah still a bit amusing. Is it ok that I think that or should I brace myself for the wrath of your moral outrage ?

Hooroo

Yeah. It was a hoot. They saw the set up and ran with it. Good damn job too. They were devious and excelled with execution. Brilliant

No I just dont respect people who lie to humiliate others publically, or those that support them. Common decency isnt so common though is it.

And you have the same attitude to your professional and personal life? Dishonesty to hurt someone else is all good as long as it executed well?

Moral outrage.... yeah ok....if it is moral outrage to just not like people being dishonest with the sole purpose to humiliate another.

Hooroo

I certainly don't go overboard with outrage at a good move. I thought it was deserved and am happy with that particular situation. I'd lie to shaft someone that I thought was a fucking dickhead or silly bint. Yes

She was not doing anything to harm anyone, she was just trying to stop comments about her son. Misguided and a bit silly yeah. So yeah she put herself in a position where a couple of dishonest pricks could lie to her and humiliate her if they wanted to. But people with even a shred of common decency who get those sorts of chances every day, don't do it.
I think You, Hooroo and Auckland Warlord are just exhibiting your character., I am not annoyed.. no skin off my nose, just intrigued and informed yet again that there are some monumental assholes in the world that should not be trusted.. I have my share of robust debates on this board but what you see is pretty much what you get, I dont bother telling lies, and in my personal life I would never lie to humiliate a 'dickhead' or 'bint' if they were doing precisely nothing to harm me or anyone else....just being a bit dopey.
I wont trust much of what Hooroo has to say if all it takes for him to lie about someone is if he thinks they are a dickhead. Pretty low base. He must be an piston wristed gibbon to work for.

Bones

I haven't listened to the call - why is it so embarrassing for her?

Deborah: I wanted to speak to somebody off air please.
Matt: You wanted to speak to somebody off air?
Deborah: Yes
Matt: OK. Youâ€™re off air.
Deborah: I am?
Matt: Yeah
Deborah: OK, thatâ€™s fine. Look, Iâ€™m just ringing in regards to the program thatâ€™s on air, I think itâ€™s Matt and Jeremy? I just wanted to basically I guess put forward my thoughts in regards to the way they have bagged the English cricketer Ben Stokes this morning.
Matt: Yes
Deborah: When they have never met him, they donâ€™t know him and maybe if they had tempered the inappropriate remarks and name calling with some quotes of some supportive tweets heâ€™s received from some very well-known cricketers and just your ordinary Joe Bloggs cricket supporters, maybe ...
Matt: Could you slow down a bit, Iâ€™m writing this complaint down. Iâ€™ve got to get it through to Matt and Jeremy. OK cool.

Deborah: I donâ€™t know whether they realise he was actually born and bred in New Zealand and quite frankly has family all over the country. And for those who listen to your station, for them to sit and listen to their cousin and their grandson being bagged like that is absolutely unconscionable and Iâ€™m his mother and Iâ€™m totally brassed off.
Matt: Youâ€™re brassed off are you?
Deborah: Oh yes I am brassed off.
Matt: Well heâ€™s a great cricket player, heâ€™s amazing.
Deborah: I know he is, but itâ€™s not even about the cricket. Itâ€™s about the personal attack on him. They called him arrogant and then they called him some sort of name. They donâ€™t know him! They wouldnâ€™t have a bloominâ€™ clue!
Matt: I donâ€™t remember them calling him any other words, other than he made some pretty arrogant comments before the game.
Deborah: No he didnâ€™t! Itâ€™s a load of rubbish!
Matt: Yes he did.
Deborah: Arrogance isnâ€™t a part of his make up.
Matt: Look, Iâ€™m writing it down here to tell Matt and Jerry heâ€™s a great player and that his mum loves him.
Deborah: Are you being smart here?
Matt: No.
Deborah: I just want to get the point across ...
Matt: Heâ€™s an amazing cricket player. Heâ€™s incredible. He does our country proud and geez weâ€™d love to have him playing for New Zealand. Heâ€™s an amazing, amazing cricket player. Incredible.
Deborah: I get that, but what Iâ€™m saying is, for my family â€” and a lot of my family have rung me and said â€˜have you heard this, Deb?â€™ â€” Iâ€™m just really disappointed. Say those things and then temper it with some positives. Have a look on Twitter, see the likes of Kevin Pietersen, Tino Best, Graham Onions â€” all of those people giving him their support because they know that tomorrow is another day.
Deborah: Youâ€™re a lovely woman Debs and thanks for call and weâ€™ll make sure that gets righted on the show. You have a great day.

Hardly the utterings of a silly bint in my opinion
 
Just somebody ringing a radio station in order to. talk about the show. Somebody who was assured twice that she was off air
 
Here is her response after the "incident"
 
"The first I knew about it [Wells and Heath not working on Thursday morning] was when a friend said it [the story] was online," Stokes said.
"It might have been nice to get one [an apology]."
Asked if she believed she deserved an apology, she stated: "I have got better things to think about. I guess a little bit of trust has gone. People can make their own judgement. There's worse things that happen at sea. It's a bit unfair on Ben."
Stokes said she rang the radio station because "I just wanted to put it out there that they had upset some family members".
"But I don't see any point in making any further comment," she said.
 
All pretty reasonable from the Mum I would have thought
All pretty sad from the radio hosts. Not sure anyone on here wants a private conversation broadcast on air if they've been told they are off air.
Pretty tough lying and being a smart arse to a woman trying to stick up for her family IMO

Well what I've read of you on this forum you just seem to be antagonistic for the sake of it, anyway, I'm sure there's one, maybe two people who sleep safer knowing you're out there fighting the brave internet crusade for them.
 
With regards to the hoping anyone who laughed at it gets humiliated stuff you're gonna be fucken busy if the "hoping" is on a case by case basis.

Yip. I am not sure why you are so concerned about being humiliated publicly by someone who lies to you. You think that sort of dishonest shit is humorous. Oh how you would laugh if someone lied to you, despite you doing nothing offensive or rude to them... and then they humiliate widely and publicly.... the hilarity!
It is not about any kind of internet crusade, my experience is that you cannot change nasty dishonest people, they are just that way inclined. People like Wells and people who find his actions humorous will never change their mind, because they just lack common decency and empathy. I guess it just a difference between those who do their best to treat other how they would like to be treated and dishonest piston wristed gibbons.
 
I dont really care to much about it, I haven't complained to the station. I just know the DJ's are pricks looking for ratings with dishonesty and public humiliation of innocent people. I just assumed that everyone would see what kind fo a dick move it was, but instead we get people supporting such BS
 
How would you react if your kids came home and told you how they had lied to a kid and humiliated publicly him/her cause the kid had done something dumb? Bit of a high five moment in the MN5 household aye..

Frankly I agree with the Baron. I hope you're embarrassed and ashamed of yourselves that you think that's funny. 
That's seriously fucking childish.
