You’re nothing but a piece of shit Mr Sandilands

This is NOT my article but taken from my inbox:

Fat slag…you’re a piece of sh*t. You haven’t got that much t*tty to be wearing that low cut a blouse. Watch your mouth girl, or I will hunt you down.” [1]

This was Kyle Sandilands’ on-air response to a journalist after she reported poor viewer reactions to his new TV show on Monday night. News outlets are calling Sandilands “vile” and his comments “filthy” — but advertisers who fund his shows are standing by him and his offensive comments.

Emily Hehir has had enough of Sandilands’ sexist abuse. She’s started a petition demanding companies pull all advertising and sponsorship until Sandilands is dumped. Click here to join her.

Holden, Vodafone and the Good Guys have already pulled out — but others like Telstra, Harvey Norman, Mitsubishi and Medibank all fund Sandilands’ show through their regular advertisements. Some have even issued statements distancing themselves from Sandilands — they’re trying to get away with directly funding his radio show, without taking responsibility for the sexist and derogatory statements he makes.

The last thing any of them want is their brand to be associated with the community backlash over his behaviour. A huge show of public outrage at their support for him will force them to pull out of the show, and put pressure on the radio station to d! rop Sandi lands.

We know sponsors are incredibly sensitive to community outrage — this won’t be the first time they’ve ditched him. Just two years ago, a 14-year-old revealed she had been raped on his show, and he asked her if it had been her “only” sexual experience. He was immediately dropped from Australian Idol, and Optus withdrew online advertising [2].

Join Emily and tell sponsors to withdraw their support until Sandilands is dumped.

Add your voice to Emily’s now — you’ll convince them they need to withdraw or risk their brand being damaged in the huge community backlash. The station will have to listen, and drop him to keep their sponsors.

Voices in the media, on Twitter and across the community are unanimous — Sandilands has gone too far this time. Join Emily in sending a resounding message to sponsors that they need to withdraw their support for the show, or they’ll suffer the same backlash as Sandilands. 

Thanks for all you do,

! Nick and the Change.org team
