Atlanta sports radio station, 790 The Zone, is down three "Mayhem In the AM" hosts after they performed an on-air bit mocking former New Orleans Saints player Steve Gleason, who has ALS. Steak Shapiro, Nick Cellini and Chris DiMino were fired for their insensitive attempt at humor, including knock-knock jokes where "Gleason" begged to be put out of his misery and wondered if he'd be alive on Thursday. One host, Nick Cellini tweeted an apology, "My apologies to everyone. It was a stupid attempt at humor that backfired. Emphasis on stupid." (wow wtf?) movies.yahoo.com/news/radio-hosts-fired-over-steve-gleason-als-jokes-150856701.html

How ANYONE could think that was funny is beyond me. DId you happen to see the response from the Gleason people? True class on their part.
