An intended parody of an interview with Miami Heat center Shaquille O'Neal could cost a radio station employee his job.

On its morning show last month, Z100 radio in Portland, Ore., broadcast an interview in which O'Neal supposedly said a jury would have to include rappers Ludacris, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre in order for Kobe Bryant to be found innocent of rape charges.

However, it was later discovered that producer Dan Clark spliced O'Neal's quotes to make it sound as though he were being interviewed.

Clark also sent out a news release to media outlets.

Lonny Nielsen, director of marketing and promotion for Clear Channel Radio in Portland, declined to say if Clark, who wasn't available for comment, had been suspended or fired. Nielsen said the station has spoken with O'Neal, and he is not upset.
