Australian DJs who pranked nurse taken off the air

Mods: this seemed to post w/o problem to my personal journal, not sure where formatting error is?

More from TMZ:

The two Australian DJs at the center of the Kate Middleton hospital prank have gone RADIO SILENT since news broke that the nurse at the hospital committed suicide ... TMZ has learned.

The DJs are under serious fire after pulling off a stunt where they pretended to be the Queen of England (fake voice and all) and duped nurse Jacintha Saldanha into connecting them to the people treating Middleton, who revealed details about Kate's condition.

Saldanha's body was discovered early this morning ... and cops believe it's an obvious suicide.

TMZ called the Australian radio station where the DJs work ... and were told by the executive producer that the DJs will NOT be taking any calls, period.


The E.P. explained ... the DJs have been "ordered" not to speak to the media. It's unclear who issued the order.

The producer added, "I advise you to stop trying to call them."

I do not at all feel any remorse for those DJs losing their jobs. They ought to be fired, and not just for this .

People will do lots of things to celebs that they wouldn't do to normal people.

A lot of people actually do call the hospital demanding to know about the health of their family members/friends even though they are not allowed to have that information. And they also make up incredible lies to get the information.
It's not aired on the radio, but still very much a violation of their privacy.

What I cannot believe is that this woman killed herself over this :(
And the djs definitely are mostly to blame for this. Dickheads.

Except... It's a "normal" person that got affected heavily.

Yes but it started out originally because they didn't really care if Kate's privacy was compromised, whereas in any other case they may have thought twice about it.
