Occasionally, just occasionally, someone you’ve always loathed goes and does something so loathsome that suddenly everyone else in the world seems to loathe them too— and when that happens you don’t miss the opportunity to point out their loathsome qualities to anyone who mightn’t be aware of them yet.

Because when you hate someone’s guts, you want everyone else in the world to hate them too.

Read the story here if you want to see just how low a radio host can sink. Here’s an excerpt:

The girl, who had been brought on to undergo a lie detector test about her mother’s concerns about her drug and sex experience, told Kyle Sandilands before the questions started: “I’m scared … it’s not fair.”

The mother told the presenters she was worried about her daughter’s use of drugs and partying, before going on to ask the teenager if she ever skipped school.

The mother then asked her daughter: “Have you ever had sex?”

The 14-year-old replied: “I’ve already told you the story about this … and don’t look at me and smile because it’s not funny.”

After a pause she then raised her voice and said: “Oh OK … I got raped when I was 12 years old.”

Sandilands hesitated before asking “Right … is that the only experience you’ve had?”

Seriously, angry old men with burning pitchforks should be dispatched to 2Day FM studios post haste. I hope that smug, pathological narcissist is feeling great pain right now, but doubt that it is the case.

(Also the girl’s Mum sounds crazy bad at being a mother, but then no one is paying her a fucking seven figure salary to be an asshole on the radio— I feel pity more than hostility for her)

Worth noting is that this is NOT a one time screw-up by Mr Sandilands… this story shows that he is keen to be the Howard Stern/Jerry Springer of brain-dead commercial Australian radio… only he likes to mess with teenage girls live on air.
