I've always thought 'Vile Kyle' Sandilands was a bit of a knob and while I admit that since the demise of the Merrick and Dools show I have been a committed Kyle and Jackie O, its only because they are the best of a bad bunch. Now Kyle is no stranger to controversy what with the whole Magda/Poland issue not to mention the live to air admission of rape by a 14 year old girl. Through it all I've kind of had Kyle's back (um hello, he is a shock jock) but this latest fiasco is leading me to wonder if Kyle Sandilands is indeed the Todd Carney of the radio world?
Regular readers of this blog will know that I am often perplexed by the misadventures of the promising but idiotic Todd Carney. Here he is one day hurling abuse at 'fat chicks' and getting booted out of every night spot in Canberra, then the next minute he's winning Dally M medals, then 5 minutes later he's been dropped by the Roosters after his latest booze fueled misdemeanor but then somehow been offered a contract with the Sharks. It never ceases to amaze me that he gets given chance after chance, after chance. Frankly I just can't understand how in the world Carney still has a footy contract and now I think the same could be said for Kyle; How the hell do you still have a job buddy?
Like Carney, old mate Kyle is a terrible role model although in slightly different ways; he's borderline obese, a workaholic who's romantic life is in tatters ("I have loveless sex with a lot of models" and he consumes more coca cola per day than old mate Ivan Milat did pre lock up (believe me.......its a lot) and he just doesn't know when to shut up. I guess the one thing that separates Carney and Vile Kyle is talent. You can't deny that Carney, amidst all his faults is a naturally gifted footy player but Kyle? Well he's a hard worker and I applaud the way he's made something of his life, but at the end of the day is he even that good?
Ha I guess we only have to look at the ratings to find out the answer there.
