Title: 2 Day FM Award to Michael Christian

I'd never heard of this person prior to the "Royal Prank" call that went horribly wrong, but closely followed the story after the nurse who took the call committed suicide.

I have ambivalent thoughts on this.....

Is it simply a matter of poor/ insensitive timing?????

Never heard of him prior or post that incident so I can't really judge. But it does make our standards appear pretty weird.

I wonder if the 13yr "Ape incident" girl will receive any awards for her service to the media?
I reckon she deserves one for highlighting what a hypocritical nation we've become.
