BarkLessWagMore Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 I'm sure someone will chime in and say this is an obvious fake, but that sounded pretty real to me. Just unbelievable.
LewPort71 Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 (edited) I hope this phone call was a joke. But knowing some of the finer residents of WV, they would probably take it to heart. And then the hunters would request permission to hunt at the designated deer crossing areas. I have lived in WV for 24 years now and have never hit a deer. Nor has Mrs. Lew. But there have been several close calls. Edited October 11, 2012 by LewPort71

KD in CA Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 I'm sure someone will chime in and say this is an obvious fake, but that sounded pretty real to me. Just unbelievable. I disagree; I think you can hear the repressed mirth in her voice throughout. That doesn't mean the station was necessarily in on the joke, but IMO she was doing it as a goof.
Marv's Neighbor Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 Why do the BILLS play every week and lose? If they didn't play, we'd be undefeated!

DC Tom Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 Why do the BILLS play every week and lose? If they didn't play, we'd be undefeated! Even better, since other teams keep scoring touchdowns in the end zones, the obvious solution is to move the end zones somewhere else...

Wacka Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 They are done by a service. They give the dialog to the DJs and theperson on the phone is on tape. A local station in Sacramento played two of these to two different stations taht listeners sent to him. The person on the phone was identical.

SageAgainstTheMachine Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Pretty well executed, but my guess is fake.

Just Jack Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 They are done by a service. They give the dialog to the DJs and the person on the phone is on tape. A local station in Sacramento played two of these to two different stations that listeners sent to him. The person on the phone was identical. I was curious about that, so I listened to it again. She (the caller) uses very vague terms, referring to "the interstate, the freeway", but not highway number, like for Syracuse, could be I-81, 690, etc. The closest she gets to a specific area is saying Minnesota and North Dakota.
JinVA Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 Fake. I saw this same thing a few years ago but it was a letter to an editor.
