loser of the week part two
Another column. I hope this doesn't get me sued.
LOSER OF THE WEEK
Radio ratings aren’t something I usually would take any interest in, but finding out that Kyle and Jackie O had fallen significantly behind in their breakfast radio ratings war gave me something to smile about. Sure, Nova’s Merrick and Rosso (who increased their popularity at the expense of the 2Day FM pair) are hardly my idea of wit and sophistication, but the idea of that grinning arsehole suffering a set back is some mild compensation for the prospect of having to endure him on my TV screen when Australian Idol starts again.
Whether being a homophobic jerk (both in outing a teenage staffer and his constant on-air gay jokes, thinly disguised with an air of ‘not that there’s anything wrong with that’), threatening to ‘bury’ Frenzal Rhomb (whose career has for so long benefited from 2Day FM’s support!) or releasing the year’s worst assault on our ears, the single ‘Ooh Aah’ by his girlfriend, ex-Scandal’Us ‘star’ Tamara Jaber, on his King Kyle record label, Kyle Sandilands is truly a fucktard of the lowest order. Recalling his appearance on Celebrity Big Brother makes me think of this year’s regular housemates with a degree of warmth.
Worst of all, he has always been something of a hollow clone of his 2Day predecessor, Ugly Phil O’Neil, substituting brattish behaviour and lame innuendo for O’Neil’s somewhat more interesting take on being a radio bad boy. And now Kyle is trying to fill the shoes of my beloved Dicko. Whilst advance word suggests that Sandilands hasn’t modelled himself on Idol’s favourite judge, its going to be a painful adjustment nonetheless. For making me all the more certain that there is no life after Desperate Housewives, Kyle Sandilands is hereby declared Loser of the Week.
