Don’t employ a shock-comedian (Catherine Deveny) and then expect her to behave on Twitter. Don’t advertise on Kyle Sandilands shock-jock radio show and then expect him to behave. Match your purpose and your value systems with your channels or you will play the hypocrite when it finally falls apart.And if you don’t agree with their values don’t advertise with them at all - don’t wait for it all to blow up and THEN get rewarded with a “good citizen” badge. You deserve a different kind of badge…
I just think people should “own” their value systems & be accountable for them. If Kyle offends you time after time, stop listening and for God’s sake dont advertise on his show. If you find him funny, provocative and/or just the sort of politically incorrect ass that Australia needs, stand by him.
Chopping and changing value systems based on public outcrys is hypocritical, no?
Kyle Sandilands Recent Rant
On Tuesday Sandilands had personally attacked news.com.au entertainment reporter Alison Stephenson for her review of his TV show, A Night with the Stars.
“Some fat slag on the Telegraph website, sorry, news.com.au, has already branded it a disaster. You can tell by reading the article she just hates us. What a fat bitter thing you are. You’ve got a nothing job anyway. You’re a piece of shit,” he said.
His co-host Jackie O joked that Sandilands didn’t take criticism well. Sandilands then named Stephenson and said: “You are supposed to be impartial, you little troll … You’re a bullshit artist girl. That’s what you are. You should be fired from your job.”
After Jackie O told listeners that the article contained a picture of the reporter, Sandilands said: “You haven’t got that much titty to be wearing that low cut a blouse. Watch your mouth girl, or I will hunt you down.”
Coincidentally reported on News.com.au – where the “female journalist” works.
Now if this was a nice Christian boy that lost it, I could understand that his rant would upset people.
But I can’t. He’s an a-hole, was an a-hole always will be an a-hole. Why are advertisers surprised?
From Twitter:
- @Blackmores We instructed our media agency 2 pull all our ads from 2DayFM. If you do hear 1 of our ads please let us know ASAP

- Fantastic Furniture, Good Guys, Vodafone, Harvey Norman, Medibank and so on have finally pulled their advertising.
Hypocrite number two is Catherine Deveny
Deveny drew the most criticism for writing that she hoped 11-year-old TV star Bindi Irwin “gets laid” and that former TV host Rove McManus’ wife Tasma “didn’t die too” – referring to the loss of his first wife, Belinda Emmett, to cancer in 2006.
