Kyle对鞭挞他新节目的女记者辱骂, 随后遭抵制: "Some fat slag (a pejorative term for slut. An individual who cares not for relationships beyond the realm of the sexual, these people sleep with many partners not caring about anything save for the moment of climax. ) on news.com.au has already branded it a disaster. You can tell by reading the article that she just hates us and has always hated us," he said. "What a fat bitter苦的 thing you are. You're a piece of shit.

You haven't got that much titty to be having that low cut a blouse. Watch your mouth or I'll hunt you down." "While some may hold out hope 抱有希望, 抱着希望 that Kyle Sandilands will one day reform his rude and entirely inappropriate approach, to my mind a much easier solution is for Australians to just turn off." 随后各方开始挞伐Kyle, 广告商撤出: An on-air apology by Sandliands yesterday, believed to have been insisted upon(坚持, have maintained that) by management, did little to stem the commercial bleeding. But the gesture was branded "weak" and "insincere" by listeners and, according to radio sources, failed to soothe network bosses who are said to be weighing up 掂量, 衡量 their options. Australians disgusted by Sandilands' rant have vowed to black ban ( black ban [ =boycott 抵制, 拒买, 澳大利亚用语. a mass refusal to supply or purchase goods or services in an attempt to force a particular decision or action. ]: History: The Australian Labor Movement (Unions) required legal financial membership of the appropriate union. They would issue a membership card printed and signed in black ink. Usage: Unions would place work bans upon various employers or work sites where the employer used non-union labor/practices. They would also place bans for political reasons. The term "black ban" means Union members not allowed to work for or at an employer or work site. The term is non-racist.

Green bans in Australia were never instigated (instigate I. 引发, 导致发生 = occasion见下文. to bring about, as by incitement or urging to instigate rebellion. II. to urge on to some drastic or inadvisable action. ) unilaterally单方面的 by the Builders Labourers Federation BLF, all green bans were at the request of, and in support of, residents' groups. In February 1973, Jack Mundey coined the term 'Green Ban' in order to distinguish between the traditional union 'Black Bans'. Mundey argued that the term 'Green Ban' was more appropriate as they were in defence of the environment. Green Bans saved many vital urban spaces and over 100 buildings were considered by the National Trust to be worthy of preservation. ) show advertisers, as Southern Cross Austereo moved to quell public anger with an apology. Last night, Southern Cross Austereo broke its silence打破沉默 over the incident, in a brief statement from chief executive Rhys Holleran. "Kyle speaks his mind. However, in this case we recognize that his opinions have caused offence and sincerely apologise," it read. Meanwhile, the Government announced it had withdrawn all scheduled media placements from the Kyle and Jackie O Show. "Kyle is valuable but everyone is replaceable and he is only valuable if advertisers want to use him," the buyer said.

Man With Size 21 Feet: For Griffiths, the cons of having size 21 feet include having to special-order shoes, not being able to wear regular men's socks, and getting rejected from rugby clubs because his footwear doesn't comply with their strict dressing codes. The pro: Lots and lots of ladies. Griffiths "is constantly faced with ( to present evidence of something to someone. When I faced him with the evidence, he confessed immediately.

Given Griffiths' stock response to their inquiries, however, he also appears to have been teletransported from one of those films: "I can confirm that it is! "I've already bedded more than 30 women. "The ladies only want me for one thing. At this stage of my life, it doesn't bother me. Why are women so superficial? Maybe they worry that the relationship will come to revolve around围绕着 Griffiths' feet and his quests to find large enough shoes. Maybe they come to feel overshadowed by his feet.
