Thoughts anybody?

I find it wrong for TMZ to post this EXTREMELY emotional 911 call. You can hear how err.. panic-y Brittany's mom is. Idk, that's what I think.

You think its wrong but still went and listened.

What does that prove?

Anyway, I think it's wrong. Why are panick/distraught 911 calls made public? I'd only want it heard by others during a police investigation, or a court case. Otherwise, they should ask for permission. Some people are not in a healthy state of mind when they make those calls.
 
I've never understood why people would want to listen to those calls. I avoid them if at all possible.
 
I wont listen to it. I get sick thinking about what if i had to call 911 because my daughter was dying.

Id like to see what they think if a TMZ employee's family member was dying and they called 911, and somebody plastered it all over the internet.
 
Everyone at TMZ should have been shot years ago. F***ing bloodsuckers.


I agree. The sad part is, the American consumer eats this **** up. Look how many celebrity shows are on TV. Sad.

At least my Apple obsession is healthy. :rolleyes:
 
I've never heard of this happening before. Thought such calls were private. I'm sure they're covered by the Data Protection Act in the UK. What's TMZ?

No, I wouldn't listen to it.
