The responsibility is either with the station first, regulator second, or listener third. And the listener shouldn’t have to turn off to get away from poor taste broadcasting. Radio can be a great medium, but it seems to be missing the sentiments of the public.

On the launch of digital radio, the major radio stations have an opportunity to get their house in order from a public and advertisers pov.

During the time of the on-air lie detector “stunt”, Kyle and Jackie O/2DayFM were promoting a contest to find Sydney’s “Smallest” Man (I think you all know what small they are talking about). Why is this amusing/entertaining by any standards?

If people want to humiliate themselves on air (remembering this is a VISUAL stunt on an AUDIO medium – when will radio learn that visual humour and stunts cannot be viewed on the radio!?!?!?) then they are entitled to be stupid. But don’t do it in the popular media, put it on youtube for fools to view.

Why as the ACMA not made it mandatory that all radio stations have a delay in broadcasting? Kyle claims he will not work with one…sorry to tell you champ but that decision backfired big time.

Tonight ACA is going to do an exclusive interview with the mother and daughter at the centre of the radio controversy. You just know that’s going to backfire big time!

Also if you want a laugh and you are on facebook, look at the group “BRING KYLE SANDILANDS BACK!!” [http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=245884435225]

There are currently 16,144 members (or better known as sorry sad people who need some brain cells)

Sitting in a rich wood paneled office looking out 36 floors above the bridge & opera house pitching ideas to encourage people to gamble online…”Now you can lose your house without leaving home” was a headline I didn’t present.

Working on a tobacco brand in the morning and an anti smoking campaign in the afternoon. Winning Gold awards for tobacco ads with a creative partner who is a staunch anti-smoker.

And while we’re on smoking, does anyone else think it’s a crime far beyond Kyle that you can easily buy a product that if used to the manufacturers specifications will kill you? And if that’s permissible in society, why is euthanasia not? Why is tobacco advertising banned but alcohol & gambling advertising allowed to saturate our lives?

Now I’m not for a moment regretting one single brand or client that I’ve ever worked on. I’ve loved every minute of my ride in the circus & I’d love to work on a beer brand. I’ll work on any product that’s legally allowed to be sold. Except the Liberal party (even I have standards!) I’m just agreeing with tree-hugger that we live in a strange & conflicted place, and that focusing on the stupid actions of one boofhead can allow other equally strange things that surround us to pass by unnoticed.

It may be unfashionable to some, but I love Bill Henson’s work.

I agree that Kyle is what you get when nobody bothers about standards anymore, but I’m incredibly wary of anyone who thinks they should decide what those standards are. Especially if they buy one of the many brands of God that are for sale.

But I’ll stop now. I need a cup of tea : )
