Is this for real or another prank?

Not only an employer has to provide a safe workplace, but also an employee needs to take responsibility to ensure the workplace is safe.

If any worker who knows beforehand that "Austereo's rap sheet really includes tricking listeners into believing a popular presenter had died, a stunt police claim encouraged dangerous driving and the notorious lie detector scandal" and yet accepts and carries out those duties happily without any question, then there is something abnormal in human cerebral development in the evolution process.

Was the content of the prank call scripted? If not, how could anyone including the management vet it before being broadcast? If nothing went wrong, I believe people around the world would definitely have a good giggle.

Unfortunately, this prank call went really wrong and is no laughing matter. Not only it cost a life, but also imprinted horrific memory on the mind of the people who loved the victim.

Every individual behaves and responds differently under certain circumstance. Obviously this was not an expected outcome. Since the unforeseeable did happen, one has to take critical self introspection.
