Re: kyle and jackie o
Did you hear about the other stunt they pulled this week?
Brought a long lost family member over from the states
15 hour flight
Other local member of family is put in front of 3 doors
Choose the right door she gets to meet the other member of family
If not the other member gets put straight back on plane and 15 hour flight home.
She chose the wrong door
The girls had not seen each other since leaving cambodia? as refugees

I have just read an article in the paper on this, that seems to be a pretty clear headed approach... http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au...tml?FORM=ZZNR3
I don't listen to that station, but if I did, I would probably come in this category:
As they did, in the radio theatre of my mind, I could see their predominantly older listeners reeling back clutching their throats in shock and horror.

It's the big brother show type of mentality these days, and seeing how far they can push the boundary.

But as their target audience appears to be aged 10-24, and with their "stock in trade is bum jokes, toilet humour, sexual references and associated preferences, amazing stunts and loony challenges" it may be that their average listener would not be as shocked as some.

Re: kyle and jackie o
I think the buck stops with the radio producers: this kind of stunt - a minor being interviewed about her sexual experiences on live national radio - should never have left the drawing board.
Also, surely anyone signing up to using a lie detector machine in these circumstances (regardless of whether it's the genuine article) should have been debriefed by a psychologist first? Because I found myself thinking when the story first broke that if a psychologist had spent 5 minutes beforehand with this woman and her daughter, they'd have deduced immediately that they were completely unfit to take part. The girl had run away from home. It was obvious to the man on the street that there are problems in this family, which made them wholly unsuitable for taking part in this kind of show.
Actually, maybe the radio producers needed to see the psychologist.
