The man is paid to be a dumb, ignorant, politically incorrect stirrer. So, when he crosses the line that he is paid to constantly push, the tabloid media (together with their special friend John Brumby) gets to exploit the 'hand-wringer' demographic, the station lays down some token Good Public Image suspension (or even sacking, if the advertisers are getting restless), and Kyle's back on air in some capacity faster than you can say holocaust.

Here's how the Herald Sun and friends want you to read this situation: Kyle is a Bad Man; radio station is a little morally ambivalent but have responded appropriately; and the Herald Sun shares your righteous indignation.

The truth, of course, is slightly different: Kyle gets a little free publicity and a short holiday; radio station gets a little free publicity and more listeners upon Kyle's inevitable return; Herald Sun sells a few more newspapers; and you are the biggest sucker in the world for caring about this tripe.
yep, except he broadcasts in Sydeney so Melbourne people can't even hear his program unless they stream it, so the Hun is just handwringing for the sake of it.

The guy is a twat, he's paid to be a twat, so he's a professional twat in which case he should be better at it.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Could he be a better twat - I think he is at top of the twatness tree already!!

if they are trying to reduce the amount that people drink shouldn't they put the amount of grog up higher so ppl can get drunk on less beer then more beer?

and you can tell by the can its a new design compared to the old design

Do you really want to know?? You took a photo of me sitting in the MCC members at the footy & enlarged it to huge and somehow passed it to Stui so when we met, coz he was my neighbour (WTF) he already knew who I was, when I was expecting him to be surprised... OMG.

Then what happened after THAT will have to remain private :oops:

Oh well, at least I'm getting some kind of action, even if it is in dreamland and may be a little - different. :P

If only dreamland would be as kind to me. I'm a 20 year old male, FFS! I shouldn't be constructing Freudian analyses of my dreams, they should all be literal! :P

Bugger, so I can't even get laid in someone elses dreams. :(

Just as long as I wasn't being the "nice guy". {reaches for gun, places it under chin and waits...}

What you said was either too complex or too simple for me. Ask me another question. A deeper algorithm is needed to respond to that correctly.
