The Australian radio djs that pulled a prank on Kate Middleton’s hospital staff, (that may have led to the suicide of the nurse who took the call) have been yanked from the airwaves.
Some critics say that it’s too little too late, as the Kyle and Jackie O show has been trashy — and dangerous — for quite some time.
Kyle and Jackie-O: A history of nastiness
In 2011, the Kyle and Jackie-O show lost two major sponsors when Kyle blasted Australian journalist Alison Stephenson after she panned his television special.
Kyle said on his 2DayFM show:
“Some fat slag on the Telegraph website, sorry, news.com.au, has already branded it a disaster. You can tell by reading the article she just hates us. What a fat bitter thing you are. You’ve got a nothing job anyway. You’re a piece of s—. You are supposed to be impartial, you little troll … You’re a bullsh– artist girl. That’s what you are. You should be fired from your job. You haven’t got that much titty to be wearing that low cut a blouse. Watch your mouth girl, or I will hunt you down.”
In response, advertisers Holden and electronics store The Good Guys pulled their sponsorship of the show.
