kyle + fritzl
Sometimes the media is so annoying.
A lad's magazine has released a list of Australia's 50 people we hate - and topping the list is, surprise surprise, Kyle Sandilands. It's a bit of an obvious target, but whatever. Now that the opinion polls have turned on Jackie O too - and haven't they turned, so swiftly? - she's ranked number 2.
And then at number 3 is Josef Fritzl. As in, the man who locked his daughter up for 24 years and repeatedly raped and tortured her.
Editor Paul Merrill said:
"[Kyle's] someone who's made a career out of being offensive in an entertaining way,'' Merrill said. "And it's good to see Jackie O finally catching up with him."
On what planet do outspoken Sydney radio presenters and a serial rapist/torturer get lumped together?! It's a blatant publicity grab (and it's worked - there are dozens of headlines spouting phrases like "Kyle worse than Fritzl") but it's such contrived, lowest common denominator crap.
I'm putting my soapbox away now :)

Welcome!
Hi! I'm Sarah. I am a 30-year-old writer, mum, traveller, animal-lover, quasi-vegetarian, lip gloss fiend, movie buff and property addict living in Sydney, Australia. I love the smell of newly-printed magazines and books, a cup of tea and a treat at the end of the day, and packing for holidays.. the anticipation is half the fun! Thanks for visiting :)
