Australian radio hosts in hot water for calling India a "S***hole"
Sydney, Australia's 2Day-FM morning team of Kyle Sandiland and Jackie O are no strangers to controversy, but now they have an entire nation unhappy with them. While appearing on an Australian TV show, Sandiland called the nation of India a "s***hole," and denounced the Ganges River as a "junkyard." The Council of Indian Australians denounced the statement, with CIA president Yadu Singh telling The Times of India, "Sandilands made insulting comments against India and ridiculed River Ganges which is a sacred river in Hinduism. His ridicule involved some of the practices of the followers of Hinduism. The Indian Australian community is a peaceful and tolerant community... It does not attack any nation, national group or religious practices of any group. It is obviously not happy when others attack them or their belief system." He called the comments "insensitive, insulting, hurtful and unwarranted." Singh will pursue the matter with the Australian Communications and Media Authority, the Aussie version of the FCC.
