I suspect much of he moral hoo-haa has come about because of the silly money salaries involved.

That said though although I didn't, and wouldn't have, hear the offending show; if I or my relatves had been the recipient of those messages I'd want blood. As for the Daily rail - well it is the Daily Rail

Lines about how celebrity presenters treat people on their shows have to be drawn and have to be respected, or exemptions negotiated by mutual consent in advance (say if someone had a spiffy idea for a wind up type gag) and in my opinon there is a qualitative difference between those two twerps and the folk on ISAHAC.
