Oh the Humanity!



In the headlines today, the tragic story about a radio station promotion that led to the death of a young woman by drinking too much water, got me to thinking about radio station promotions that have gone wrong. Probably the best example, didn't even happen at a real radio station. The WKRP Thanksgiving Turkey promotion is the all time hands down winner.



Youtube has the segment from the show.





My favorite part is Les Nessman on remote describing the sound of the turkeys hitting the ground and the crowd of people running for cover.
