    AH HA! Go to the top of all cartoonists who have ever lived! Sensational! The two people mentioned are appalling, however, as someone else said. “The mother who submitted the child to this bit of fifteenth century jollity is as much to blame”.

    Some marvelous t-shirts there FD. Congratulations!!!!!!!

    Thank you FDOTM. I was fuffing around trying to sound off about those two f-ckwits, but your cartoon says it all.

    I really like that they’re professional FWits too. I hope someone alters their business cards. Sandilands probably calls himself an entertainer.

    Oh excellent dog, marvellous beast and glorious cartoonist from the luna region.

    For once, I think you’re probably too kind to the unspeakable slime that calls itself K&JO.
    Still….you’ve managed to depict them pretty accurately, as the scum sucking filth that they really are.
    Well done!

    First Dog, I am OUTRAGED that you called Kyle and Jackie O ‘professional fuckwits’. They’re not professional.

    I am glad that I am in Adelaide and do not have to listen to them. Low rent individuals of the first order.

    I think you’ve gilded a couple of sleeze-bags here FD. Every morning 2DAY FM lets them use public airwaves for some personal porn with K(oil) and Jacki (O for IQ) getting off on stunts such as Sandilands watching the weather guy and Jackie’s husband ejaculate in the radio station’s toilets to see who has the highest sperm count. Presumably to make themselves feel less dirty they put it up for sharing on their website. If Kevin Rudd thought the Henson child pics were ‘revolting’ he’ll need a sick bag before tuning into 2DAY FM.

    Ditto, Colin! I know it’s not cool, but now I know there’s a very good reason why I listen to News Radio.

    And I agree with Venise - definitely t-shirt material here.

    Dear Evan

    At kingkyle.com he is referred to as Kyle Sandilands, one of Australia’s foremost media personalities.

    Does anybody know at what time the news.com.au changed its tack from “the media hate me says Kyle” to “radio stars evil” to now they’ve got Mrs Johnston, who I believe has done wonderful work in the past, to put a good spin on it.

    CHRIS: Please tell me the bit about the men ejaculating in the studio’s toilets is a sordid joke you made up?? PLEASE!?!?

    The first panel was worth the read all on its own, and it only got more and more hilarious… and tragic… and hilarious… from there.

    Just reading it again… I’m… gah! I’m blind!

    VENISE: Here are the articles re porn in the morn at 2DAY FM. Makes you wonder why Stephen Conroy is all a lather about filtering the internet to protect children. Read the littany of sexually stimulating topics this ditzy pair serve up to their networked listeners across the country and I’m stuffed as to why ACMA exists. No wonder blokes put their twigs in pasta jars and park benches - I bet they’re listening to radio.

    I think Kyle Sandiglans has overtaken Burt Newton Junior as the person I’d most like to punch in the face. You know, if I were an uppity, violence prone misogynist jerk with a severe case of little-man syndrome.
    FD, that is one of your finest and if not for the crime at the root of this matter, would buy this on a t-shirt - or print my own - (we shouldn’t make jokes about this, it’s just poor form).

    CHRIS: Dying to read it but have just spent 8 hrs at a hospital for some dental treatment and I haven’t eaten sine 7pm last night. So I will have to come back to all of this over the weekend.

    FIRST DOG: Not able to read it tonight in depth tonight-it looks terrific. Subject matter V interesting. But I’ve gotta get some food into me and early to bed as I’m getting up at 5.30am. This should be written on twitter (tell JG I’m delerious and tell him I grovel). ‘Bye.

    I also loved it, however my only complaint: cat poop, prefer cat poo or cat shit.

    ROTFL
    Oh FFS! Now “Punch” is claiming the credit for getting K&JO shit canned.

    But we all know it was really the power of the Moooondoggy. :-)

    I note that they misspelled foreskin.
