No Good 'Spin' For Radio Guests Who Swear, Pee In Studio
<snip>

The shock-jock trio that host the notoriously outrageous morning show on radio station the Edge have been suspended after they allowed guests from TV's Jackass to swear repeatedly during a live interview, run around naked in front of a studio audience and urinate on the floor while on the air.

"There is no way you can put a positive spin on what was done, and it can't be excused," said Alan Cross, program director for 102.1 the Edge.

"When you're an announcer on the air, you are ultimately responsible for what happens," he said.

"If you have a guest, you must make sure the guest follows the guidelines."

Mr. Cross said he has suspended hosts Dean Blundell, Jason Barr and Todd Shapiro without pay, and that the morning show will suffer an undisclosed monetary penalty for not adhering to station policies.
