I’ll revert back to a comment I posted in “Is Kyle’s broadcasting career over”. We need to develop thicker skins. We need to be proactive and turn off what we dont want to hear.

In relation to children listening to 2day – as Spunky above said – it’s up to parents to censor what they believe to be true and right for their child – and not turn those powers of responsibility over to Government bodies or corporations.

How do children learn responsible behaviour without being shown/told/ reprimanded or having situations explained by their family/parents? The Government isn’t going to sit down and explain “why” something is not right – that’s the responsibility of parents etc and that’s why we have social issues today that weren’t around in such large numbers 20 odd years ago.

I am sure my parents didn’t know I was listening to late night radio under my pillow with Dr Feelgood for years – but the knowledge I got from hearing things I would not necessarily have been exposed to – together with the boundaries I was given growing up – all shape who I am – and give me the ability to decide that even though what someone does/says is not right for me – it might be fine for them.

Maybe we should have some T-shirts printed up –

“Power to the Press Button & Free Usage of Our Fingers!
If you dont like what you hear – use your finger and press to change”

As for the 10 year olds, perhaps their parents should take the responsibility the privilege of parenthood carries and realise jerking off races aren’t really the mental stimulation young minds require.

I’m quite happy to continue listening to my favourite station and allow everyone else to listen to theirs, even if it’s not my cup of tea

I agree that this particular incident with the Madga/Concentration Camp comment was not worthy of all the media hype from the past week – only the painfully thin skinned or serially outraged could take offence. But had there been no lie-detector debacle his job would not be under threat and it would be business as usual – back to the usual jerking-off races, smallest penis competitions and general humiliation and suffering they offer in the name of entertainment.

Remember these stunts are broadcast for all to hear first thing in the morning. Kyle himself has expressed surprise at just how many ten year olds make up his audience, and figures promoted by 2Day FM themselves back this up. Maybe the reason why we have so many angry drivers on the roads that you complain about is that broadcasters like Sandilands normalise this behaviour.

Sandilands and Austereo are not interested in the free-speech you talk about, rather it’s his/their ability to make money that is their only concern.

A free, independent media is worth fighting for.

A vile, takcy radio show is not.

All of you Kyle-knockers think twice before giving the finger or screaming at some driver who cuts you off tomorrow morning and remember – in the world you want to live (if your comments above are any indication) noone should ever say anything that might not be liked by “everyone”…. AND that would include you, in your car screaming abuse at someone doing something stupid.

I am not defending his use of the english language in this particular latest *fairytale blowup* – I am more concerned with protecting the right to be able to use FREE SPEECH and have an independent (as much as possible) media.

Long live a straight talker – at least you get to see glimpses of reality every now and again through the fluff.

If you dont like what you’re hearing please remember – press the button on your radio – and leave the rest of us alone to get ready to 2dayfm as background noise!!!

Counselling…please! I wish he got fired.

I’m so over this Kyle business. Can’t 2Day just dismiss him and be done with it?

Cheers,

Tim – Mumbrella
