Wacky radio D.J. Beau Duran prank called the widow of St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Darryl Kile and asked if she had a date to Thursday night's game, the Arizona Republic reported. The station, KUPD in Tempe, Ariz., has subsequently apologized and lists Duran as suspended on its Web site.
A radio DJ being an asshole with the humor of a 6 year old? Well I'll be!

Darryl: Hey God. Some dude is messing with my wife. Can I go back down as a ghost and mess with him? God: Go for it, dude! Make sure you get some of that silly string to spray all over his house! Darryl: Thanks God!

If I am a local listener I am boycotting KUPD and his advertisers until Duran is fired.

I can't believe this does not get the publicity the Opie & Anthony episode did. This was much worse.

This bonehead should never be allowed to work on the airwaves again, not even one of those kids walkie-talkies.

This actually makes me feel kinda good. Ya see, I bought Beau Duran's aborted fetus on E-Bay. It currently serves as a stylish toilet paper dispenser. I think it might be time for a demotion.
