Why 2DAY-FM and Kyle Sandlilands disturbs me
This has been doing the rounds of the commercial television networks recently. Ratings of 2DAY FM's "Kyle and Jackie O Show" must be dipping, because this is almost reaching saturation:
For me it sort of really simply sums up Kyle Sandilands in a nutshell - he's a guy whose humour is generated purely out of making fun out of others, whether or not they deserve it. His show is full of stuff that is "I'm okay, they're the a***holes."
No, Kyle, it's you that is the problem. Making fun of people that really don't deserve it isn't funny. Being nasty for cheap laughs is still essentially just being nasty. There's no intelligence to your comedy. It's just demeaning.
It's a pity, because Hamish Blake, one of my favourite Australian presenters, is on the same network. His comedy is far smarter, and he's a joy to listen to.
Please go away, Kyle.
