Kyle Sandilands is a joke. A pathetic, disgusting joke. And he's not above hurting innocent young women for ratings.

I am a very peacful, loving, patient human being. I think as far as tolerance goes, I have a pretty good level of it.

But this sort of thing? Makes me see red. Makes me frothing mad and it makes me want to punch a fucker. Actually, no, I think there's something better than punching for Kyle.

I fantasize about him being made to go on air and admit what an unmitigated, insensitve fucking douchebag he is for pulling this kind of shit. Sure, he didn't know that the girl had been raped, but once he found out, he kept floundering on, treating it as a sexual experience rather than a crime and a violation. Rape is NEVER A SEXUAL EXPERIENCE. There is NOTHING SEXUAL ABOUT IT. Just like punching is not the same as shaking hands - both are done with the hands, but one is a violence and one is a consensual activity of bonding.

Stuff like this just makes me weep for humanity, I tell you. Weep bitterly and hard.

ETA: Lauredhel at Hoyden About Town made a very good point about how disgusting the concept of this show is in the first place. I am very frightened at the thought that I hadn't properly realised this until it had been pointed out. I blame the shock and the trauma at reading about this at all, cause it's deeply upset me. I really feel for the poor girl. No wonder she's acting out and taking drugs, with a mother like that. Good Lord.

Kyle Sandilands is one of the reasons I stopped watching Australian Idol.

If he's still on air tomorrow, I will be very angry.

I'm a pacifist, and I want to punch Kyle Sandilands. Hard. That is VILE.

To say nothing of that poor kid's mother! She KNEW about it, also KNEW that she hadn't recieved counselling, and STILL dragged her on the show? What the FUCK?

I remember when he proposed to a sixteen year old schoolboy contestant on Idol that they should be "gay lovers". In the WORKPLACE, in a position of power. I ranted about it at the time.

The Idol producers regarded it as a hilarious jape, and repeated it ad nauseam.

Gimme the kid. I'll take care of her. I know better than that and I've only ever baby-sat my nieces and nephews.

I have no idea who these guys are, but they sound like shock jocks. I feel like his first reaction was a knee-jerk one, because he then cut off the call and offered counseling to the family and so on...which is a LOT more than some of the shock-jocks here would do.

I was more furious at the mother...you think your daughter has a problem so the right way to fix it is to try to humiliate her on-air? Way to go, Mom. Ugh.

K, I just listened to the audio and I'm way more furious at the fucking mom...she KNEW her daughter was raped, yet she dragged her on the show and asked her those questions anyway??

Good lord.
