Update (September 10): Ooh Aah Aah Ooh No! US corporation Optus, one of the Kyle & Jackie O’ Show’s major sponsors, has announced it has withdrawn its sponsorship: “We can confirm we have withdrawn all advertising on the Kyle and Jackie O breakfast show effective immediately,” a company spokeswoman said. The deal with Optus, reportedly worth millions to Austereo, has been on shaky ground since Sandilands was suspended last month for broadcasting live a lie detector segment in which a 14-year-old girl revealed she had been raped. At the time the telecommunications giant said it was “appalled” at the stunt and said today it supported Austereo’s swift action in suspending the notorious shock jock. If the trend is generalised, Kyle is fuct. And while the Jewnited States would seem to be a more profitable location from which to be, act, and sound like a complete and utter dickhead — and get paid handsomely for it — Kyle’s crack about the concentration camps may well have closed the doors on Hollywood. Kyle may be an Aussie, but he’s no Mel Gibson.
