View Full Version : TV The Kyle Sanderlands How Low Can You Go Thread
Source – Radio station 5 AA and they quoted channel 10 news. Sucked in to the douche bag.
Who will take over? Will they bring Holden back or someone else

Interesting, I guess he will still appear at the audition stage. Oh and good riddance the sooner he is off all Australian media the better.

Good move from 10.
Accidently or not, they've become very 'family-friendly' television of late with shows like Masterchef and TBYG and keeping Sandilands would put that niche at risk, so it's a very astute decision by Ten.
I've never seen a second of Idol but i hope Mark Holden returns.
He's a great bloke, is highly intelligent, is entertaining and knows the music industry inside out.
Terrible from Kyle Sandilands to persist with questioning despite such a terrible mishap. I guess this was the straw that broke the camels back, about time this terrible excuse for a human being was dropped from the media spotlight.

Kyle deserves a lot worse
Indeed, the show has played a major hand in creating a terrible music culture, and has fastened the terminal decline of pop music in general.
Only mildly entertaining part about the show is watching the idiots at the auditions.
Kyle deserves a lot worse
He must suffer a fair bit having to listen to his untalented wife trying to make a music career

Its clearly entirely the bogan mothers fault. Absolute disgrace doing that to her daughter. If it was anyone else besides Kyle Sanderlands then this would be about the mother. I don't like Sanderlands, I think hes a douche but in this case hes done absolutely nothing wrong imo.

Sandilands is an idiot and 10 probably will enjoy not paying him a decent salary. Still, the way the media are carrying on about this is laughable. Yes, he was an idiot and the segment should not have happened and yet the mother is the one who asked the question and is escaping criticism.
I still can't believe this story led the news again today - there are plenty of other more important things going on right now.
Good and don't come back!!! Should never have been given a chance with a tv career in the first place, absolute flog of a human. He is a skidmark on society.
Now to axe Rove and 10 will slowly start to rock.

Yes, it is more the mothers fault than Kyles in this case, but the fact that he continued to ask her about the subject matter after everything went so long says a lot about the man. :thumbsd:
He only has himself to blame for his predicament. But I do agree that the media should be criticizing the mother more than Sandilands. Typical media wolves.

I wouldn't have put myself in that situation to begin with. If asked to interrogate an underage girl about her sex life on live, nationwide radio, I would have declined.
It at the very least should have been pre-recorded.

No its not entirely the mothers fault. They knew that she was going to ask her daughter about sex. The question shouldnt have even been allowed to be asked. What good would have ever come from asking that question?

I have read many threads on this but never bothered to listen to it. Yes Kyle asked a dumb question right afterwards but you can tell he was dumbfounded and just stuffed up trying to fill the silence. Jackie was fantastic right away.
The only criticism of them can be in choosing low brow content in the first place.
Let me remind people that the Maury Povich show in the US does things like this regularly. Sure most is for ratings and is cheap but they also do a lot of work trying to help wayward teens. They too do a lie detector test to find out exactly what the kids are up to so they know which ones need help. They have counsellors at the ready to help these kids.
I dislike Kyle immensely, on pretty much everything he does, but fair is fair, they were hung out to dry on this one by the mother.
About f***ing time. The guy is a disgrace.
ODNB, Kyle's show does nothing to help teens, if anything, it exploits teen issues to get ratings. I mean honestly, asking a 14 yo about sex, what good could come of that? Why does Kyle think this is good watching? Utter. Douchebag.

they been exploitative people for ratings and they finally have been caught out. Dont listen to the show, but just watched media watch, and they should take aim at the whole lot of them on that show, not just the lead two. just junk radio, totally junk. throw the mother in that as well.
they deserve everything which gets thrown at them.

Of course it is about ratings, but seriously, you have a mother there who wants to find out just how much her daughter has gone off the rails. Lie detectors cost a fortune. Kyle and Jackie would have to expected the mother to be aware and appropriate in regards to her own daughter.
Call the segment cheap and tacky, but you can't for one minute think they would have encouraged anything like what eventually happened.
As I said, I don't like Kyle, never have. He's a complete wanker as far as I am concerned. BUT I do like to look at the circumstances and while I would be happy never to hear of him again, it's a typical bleeding heart, drama queen media driven beat up in this particular case.

They put a 14 year old on a lie detector so her mother could ask her about her sex life (yes of course they knew she was going to), what part of that even comes within a remote distance of appropriate?

Well, a 14 year olds sex life shouldn't be entertainment I agree, but I am not entirely sure that it is her own private business. She is underage, possibly placing herself at risk of who knows what and her parents are responsible for her actions. The parents certainly have a right to know. I don't think anybody was going to discuss explicit sexual acts with the girl. For all the hosts knew, she could say 'no, I haven't had sex', passed the test and would have been vindicated. If that had have happened, would there be an outcry or calls for their jobs? I doubt it. People would have shook their heads and said 'tacky' at worst.
I am absolutely flabbergasted by this mother. She had to know this would come out. I am almost sure she disbelieved her daughter about the allegation and was using this lie detector test to prove she was lying. She was apparently smiling when she asked the question. She knew exactly where it was going.

The Media watch coverage last night was pretty good. I still think this whole incident just shows how bad FM breakfast radio is and how the standards are slipping. Even on the "family" radio stations, they do have smutty jokes and sexual inneudo, that is not exclusive to this show.
In saying that, the stunt with the cousin/aunt just shows how bad Kyle is. It is clear he has a lot of control over the show. But then again, they are the highest rating show in Sydney so people still listen.
have never liked him, never will, good riddance to bad rubbish. Could never understand why they sacked Mark Holden. He was a bit of a nutbag but he was entertaining.

Sorry dude, but that's a myth, one that the media has gone to town on in the last week.
They don't lead the ratings, they're third, a long way behind the leading two breakfast programs.
They're not even the highest rating commercial breakfast show in Sydney.
Granted, they are the highest rating FM breakfast show, but that's entirely different from the myth that the media have been pedaling this week.

Not sure whether sacking Sandilands from Idol is really a punishment, I'd be glad to get out of there if I was him.
Normally I'd have some sympathy for someone in his situation but the guy is an A-grade douche, who makes his living out of being a nasty, rude prick to other people. It was only a matter of time before it all came back to bite him on the arse.
good. he should never have been born in the first place. i wouldnt have called a major influence in the music industry to judge on potential music talent
Edited for accuracy. Personally I found the stunt they showed on Media Watch much more revolting than the current scandal. Playing with human emotions that strong is inhumane and sick

Nor does the whole event occur without 2Day & Sandilands setting it up with the 'hope' that something sensational and controversial might come out and therefore generate publicity.
You provide an open mike to just anybody and your bound to get all sorts of nut jobs doing and saying 'the wrong' thing.
It's no good for them to claim "we had no idea she was going to ask that"... especially when you refuse to use the 7 second dump button.
Nup... 2Day, Sandilands, Jackie O & the mother are all to blame.
Nor does the whole event occur without 2Day & Sandilands setting it up with the 'hope' that something sensational and controversial might come out and therefore generate publicity.
Not to mention Jackie O, to all those saying how well she behaved she is intimately involved in setting these segments up and doing everything she can to make them as controversial as possible, she's just as much involved as Kyle. They want to walk such a fine line they'll almost certainly fall over it, they have to deal with the consequences when this happens.

How she can be THAT offended at something so basic, yet not see the potential offense at discussing child rape on air has me absolutely staggered (and I don't buy it for a second).

They'd expect a mother who drags her own underage daughter into a public forum to discuss her sex life with the nation for a couple of concert tickets to be "aware and appropriate"?
Call the segment cheap and tacky, but you can't for one minute think they would have encouraged anything like what eventually happened.
"Cheap and tacky" doesn't begin to describe it, and yes, I believe that if they thought it would help boost their ratings and there would be no backlash they'd encourage it
Well, a 14 year olds sex life shouldn't be entertainment I agree, but I am not entirely sure that it is her own private business. She is underage, possibly placing herself at risk of who knows what and her parents are responsible for her actions. The parents certainly have a right to know.
Of course parents have a right to know, difference is that 99.99% of them don't try finding out on a public forum.
Agree that the Mother is every bit as much at fault as the hosts of this "show" but the bottom line is she couldn't have done it if the producers [ who are also at fault ] Sanderlands and his sidekick hadn't provided her with the vehicle to do so.
Were they "shocked" at the way things went, possibly, should they have known that it could get out of control, absolutely, their program, their responsibility, therefore it's not the Mother who "hung them out to dry", or a "typical bleeding heart, drama queen media driven beat up" that deserve censure but the ones directly responsible for allowing the whole nauseating debacle to happen in the first place.

I have more of an issue with how the 3 of them were laughing and enjoying how scared and nervous she was before the questioning had started.
Even if she wasn't raped, it's horrible to force a person, yet underage, to discuss personal details on air.
She has even told the cops to stop their investigations and they have dropped it.
Disappointed the mother and Jackie O has been somewhat let off.

The new judge is Jay Dee Springbett, a Sony talent scout.

Nobody had heard of Dicko before he did Idol either, just an industry person. Now we have another.
Further proof of the lack of marketability of the show and their inability to attract anybody serious.

Have to agree. They had a chance to get an Aussie icon performer & songwriter for a judge but they went for an unknown. Shows no one is desperate enough in their career to consider it an option and those that are probably have other gigs on TV.

Herald Sun front page today starts...
SHOCK jock Kyle Sandilands has insulted Holocaust survivors by saying comedian Magda Szubanski should be put into a concentration camp to lose weight.
Later turning the page and into the body we get....
Sandilands joked that her work (Magda's weightloss with Jenny Craig) wasn't finished.
"She could get another season out of them, easy ... she's not skinny," he said on 2Day FM.
Co-host Jackie O suggested Szubanski might not be able to lose any more weight due to her build.
"That's what all fat people say," Sandilands replied.
"You put her in a concentration camp and you watch the weight fall, like, she could be skinny."
I have and heard other people make this same statement previously. It's very relevant when you get fat people saying they can't lose weight, it's BS and is exemplified by the fact that no one in a concentration camp (apart from the guards) are fat.
Also Kyle is not saying she should be in a camp, that's an exaggerated misquote by the Herald Sun. I hope Kyle's lawyers are busy preparing letters for these media outlets that have attacked him dishonestly like this.
The more of this BS that comes out the more I'm becoming a fan of Kyle, and I never was previously.

It's like the Sam Newman situation now, anything even slightly controversial is going to be highlighted and blown out of proportion. Newman had enough friends behind the scenes to weather the storm - which is good as he is the only redeeming feature of TFS - hopefully Sandilands is pissed off for good and everyone can forget about him.

I read that the offense was caused because she has Polish descent and the Polish people were amongst the worst in regards to nazi concentration camps. If that is what it is than our society is feked.
If a guy has to think about every aspect of human history, each individuals family background, before making a joke (one that ive heard before, not something new) then someting is seriously wrong. Just like on nova this morning people were going bezerk because one of the blokes used the word 'gay' to describe something. For gods sake HTFU people!!!!
Maybe Kyle should be sent to tolerance camp ala Southpark style...or is that Magda should be sent to Fat camp?
I was with him for the first part but to go on and say she should be sent to a concentration camp was just Kyle doing his shock jock shlock. The thing is he isn't even funny, he just sounds like a nasty jerk. The only entertainment value in listening to him would be witnessing him destroy his own career in Australia.

Yes the holocaust was awful, concentration camps are not the best material to be used in jokes, but the way she goes on you would think Kyle was in the SS supervising all the atrocities.
It wasnt the smartest thing to say but honestly the amount of people that are just hanging to be deeply offended is downright disturbing.

While I don't really care about the comment, I am really enjoying watching him destroy his own career.
Does this make me as bad as the people who listen to his show?

The sad thing is while he's newsworthy, he's still relevant.
I wish people would just stop listening, so he could fade into obscurity. Then, when he has no job, we'll see how much he puts on. He's hardly a rake himself.

He's a ******** pure and simple, but it could be a decent personality put in this position because people look for reasons to be offended. For the most part, they aren't even offended but just like to be heard.
Is Magda actually offended by this? She of all people would know what satire is about. I am sure she has done plenty of skits that could have offended the more sensitive in society.

But would a decent personality allow him/herself to be put in this position? A first time maybe would be understandable, but not a second time like this.
This just goes to show what a clown Sandilands is. After all the hoo-haa caused by the last episode, anyone with half a brain would have been a bit careful and discreet about what came out of his mouth for a while. But not Kyle.
Even if he had to make fun of Magda, surely he could have found ways to do it without including a reference to concentration camps?
Whether his comments this time around are considered offensive or not, he has only himself to blame for the current situation. Had he been a bit more circumspect he would still be on the air tomorrow.

Every time someone dies, there are jokes about them. There have been comedians imitating Nazis for years.
Nobody listens to Howard Stern expecting anything other than shock humour. They have the stomach for it but don't necessarily believe what he is saying or support what he is saying.
I can't believe that people listen to Kyle Sandilands hoping for a nice family values, politicially correct radio show.
You look is certain magazines and there are columnists there who are deliberately supposed to be nasty towards celebrities. You know what you are going to get.
I don't like radical clerics or people preaching hate so I don't believe in freedom of speech in that regard, but when something is clearly satirical, whether I like it or not, I would rather it be left alone than risk comedy dying altogether because people have to chose their words very carefully and off the cuff stuff is non-existent.

The point I was making was the he should have trod a bit more carefully for a while upon his return.
Once he had settled back in maybe then he could have started pushing the envelope a bit.
He must be completely stupid to think comments like this so soon after his return wouldn't have the potential for drawing an adverse reaction.

Basically, for a bloke who should be media-savvy by now, he's an idiot. I'm guessing his concentration camp comment was supposed to be off the cuff, with no offense to survivors intended, but he really should know how to check himself by this stage in his career.
Sadly though, people insist on listening to him.:o

Whilst the comment was out of order, its far from the worst stunt these two arsewipes have conducted. I think Magda's handled it well though, she could've done a scott mclaren and had a big sook.

Sandilands is an idiot of the highest order.
He deserves to get the sack over this.

That's okay. Your tears say more than words ever could.
Hate to be a knob, but the line is "... your tears say more than real evidence ever could."
Im sorry, but it is funnier.
