RSS feedI’m working in town this month, and I overheard the following between two 20 something women in the office today, talking about one of the more popular morning radio shows.
W1: I was listening to the radio this morning. Jackie-O is going through detox this week and they were trying to get her to eat junk food, so they tied up their producer to an electric shock machine, and said they’d electrocute him if she didn’t eat, and they ended up shocking him like five times, and then she finally gave in and ate.
W2: God, I would have given in way before that.
W1: Yeah, I can’t believe she let them shock him that many times. Yeah… I wonder if they really did. They probably did, ’cause it sounded like it.
I assumed people listened to these stations knowing full well they were all fake and designed to make them sound like they’re the folks next door, stuck in the same office work kinda treadmill, all the while script writers and commercial advisers are pre-planning every little thing that happens. And to think that these gullible people are the ones working for large financial corporations, who we’re supposed to trust with our money and our morals.
