Don’t quite know which way to take this:
The Kyle and Jackie O radio show has been suspended indefinitely after last week’s lie detector stunt, with host Kyle Sandilands declaring he is unable to go on air.
There have been calls for 2Day FM’s Kyle and Jackie O breakfast show to be axed by the station’s owners, Austereo, since Wednesday when a 14-year-old girl was strapped to a lie-detector and asked on air about her sexual history.
Seems that he’s either decided not to do it anymore, out of fear or something, or that 2Day’s just pulled the show. I’ve never listened to it and I don’t listen to commercial radio, but for fuck’s sake this seems to just keep on happening.
I’m not saying that people should be immune from having the brunt of an angry community foist upon them, what I’m saying is that the station should be able to make the decision based on financial and corporate viability.
Sandilands is a barely-evolved idiotic douchebag, but sometimes you have to save a douchebag to make a point.
I’ll leave the other guys to have a go at this.
