Low moments in station promotions

You can't control the weather, but you've got to have some sympathy for the poor bastard on 3AW today trying to pump up an outside broadcast at a supermarket on the hottest day EVER. Sample moment: *Caller* - "There are fires 2km from my house. Everything's going horribly wrong" etc... *Host* - "My god that's awful. Good luck. And now over to Tom at Ritchie's IGA in Yarra Glen!" *Tom* - "We're about to do another barrel draw here, and the lucky winner of $250 of shopping vouchers is Doris of Mt. Evelyn!" *Much applause*. Bit insensitive.
