This conversation happened the on Sydney's (Australia) 2DAY FM's Kyle & Jackie O Show, the morning after the less than stellar debut of their TV show, " Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O - A Night with the Stars". A journalist gave a review, and copped a personal attack (even a threat) for her troubles.

TRANSCRIPT OF 2DAYFM SHOW

Kyle: Some fat slag on the Telegraph website, sorry, the news.com.au, has already branded it a disaster. You can tell by reading the article she just hates us, and has always hated us. She trawled through the twitter comments and pulled out all the bad comments and ran them. What a fat bitter thing you are, you deputy editor of an online thing. You’ve got a nothing job anyway. You’re a piece of shit.

Jackie O: You take criticism so well. I don’t think I heard Hamish and Andy do this when this happened.

Kyle: I don’t care. Hamish and Andy handle their things the way that they do. But this low thing, ... I can tell you, you are supposed to be impartial, you little troll.

Jackie O: Is it in the TV section?

Kyle: No, it’s on news.com.au. (Reads out the review.) "video killed the radio star. Shock jock Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O are maybe the latest airwave talent to fall victim of the small screen. Within minutes of the radio duo’s highly anticipated program a night with the stars premiered, fans had already taken to twitter to pronounce the 90-minute special 'awkward and a 'disaster'. You’re a bullshit artist, girl. That’s what you are. You should be fired from your job. And your hair. Your hair is very 90s.

Jackie O: They’ve put a picture of her?

Kyle: Yeah, and your blouse. You haven’t got that much titty to be wearing that low cut a blouse. Watch your mouth, girl, or I will hunt you down.

Jackie O: You have got to learn to take it on the chin a little bit.

Kyle: No. Even people I hate, I give them the benefit of the doubt.

Would you keep someone like this on your books?

Would you keep someone like this on your books?

In America, it wouldn't matter whether you wanted to keep them or not. FCC guidelines on cursing would finish them off.

However, I do note in your transcript that they are billed as "shock jocks." So basically, this is what they do. I'm going to assume that this is not the first outlandish thing they've ever said, and if Australian law allows them to use those words on radio, then I'd say an apology is in order and perhaps a suspension.

Besides the obvious FCC violations, the part that would make me blow them up is: "Watch your mouth, girl, or I will hunt you down." That's borderline restraining order material and they would be gone before the next commercial.
