Tim Shaw suspended on kerrang 105.2

As many of you will know Tim Shaw was suspended for staging a mock burglary at his bosses house.

" This is Andrew Jefferies program director for Kerrang 105.2

On Thursday night our late night presenter Tim Shaw and his producer Greg Prepel went well beyond what is deemed acceptable in there positions as broadcasters for Kerrang 105.2, causing considerable damage,vandelism and destruction of property in an attempted prank.

This behaviour is morally and socially indefencible.

With this in mind Tim and his producer have been formally suspended pending further action deemed necessary.

Tom Binns will present the assylum on Kerrang 105.2 until further notice"

THE FOLLOWING WAS WHAT HE DID :

Obscenities on the wall ‘bellend’ and a picture of a penis sprayed in brown paint - niiiice!

Broken TV found in the cupboard under the stairs

Mashed up kitchen all doors and drawers open. Cutlery all over the floor

Smashed side window to gain access to house

Kids toys and coats all over the sitting room floor

Scratched wooden floor

Toilet used unflushed!


The following petition is demanding his return

So let me get this right..
His boss was going to fire him, but messed up the recording which would cover the sunday show until they get someone else.
The guy performs a "Mock Burglary" (i.e. Actually does ransack his house) on his bosses house.
The guy is then actually fired.
The guy then wants to be put back on air.

Umm... why the hell should he be allowed back?

Ok, what is your address? I'll go and vandalise your house and get a friend to record it on a video camera, then I'll post it on the internet! It'll be a great prank! :biggrin:

You don't just go smashing people's windows and spraying grafitti over people's property for a laugh. He went far too far, the guy needs to be punished.
