Mancow: End Voyeuristic Radio Stunts
Radio "shock jock" Erich "Mancow" Muller has announced that he is creating the "Foundation For Responsible Radio” in response to the water intoxication death of Jennifer Strange, whose tragic death was the result of what Mancow calls a "voyeuristic FM radio stunt.”
Sacramento’s KDND held a water-drinking contest called, "Hold your Wee for a Wii.” Contestants were told to drink a certain amount of water every 15 minutes with the last person that didn’t get sick or go to the bathroom being the winner of Nintendo’s latest gaming console called the Wii. Strange pulled out of the competition complaining of a headache and was found dead in her living room that afternoon by her mother. The 28-year-old mother of three, who worked at Radiological Associates of Sacramento, had told fellow contestants that she was hoping to win the game console for her kids.
Story Continues Below Last week, Mancow made appearances on "Entertainment Tonight," "Inside Edition," and "The O’Reilly Factor" to discuss his views and share his opinions on this incident. Mancow expressed anger and frustration that these types of things are still going on. "Small markets feel the need to do this to get ratings and it is wrong,” said Mancow. "Voyeuristic Radio has died or gone to satellite . . . America doesn’t want this stuff.”
"I want to set up a fund for this woman; I want to collect money for this woman’s family; three kids left behind,” Mancow said. He is extending an invitation to the radio community to help in both raising funds for the family and the creation of his new organization the "Foundation For Responsible Radio.” Mancow said on the air Wednesday morning, "Our industry and its stupidity did this.”
