Image: RTÉ Image: RTÉ A COMEDY DUO have apologised for the language they used to promote their new radio show on 2FM, which had been criticised for being sexist and demeaning.
The Irish Independent published a story today about a video posted to the presenters’ social media account, in which they read out vulgar statements in a segment from their podcast about car ‘bumper stickers’.The comments were criticised by Social Democrats TD Holly Cairns, who told the Irish Independent: ”Sexist comments, in which women are objectified and demeaned, are incredibly insidious and contribute to a toxic culture in which women feel unsafe.
Fine Gael TD Ciarán Cannon released a statement this afternoon in which he said that their comments “were demeaning and lacking in basic respect. They objectified women’s bodies, with absolutely no regard as to their personhood.” “Negative attitudes towards women are wired into our brains early in life, and a station that targets young people should be aware of this and act accordingly.
What hurty words did they use
Never heard these guys and not judging what anybody finds humorous. However i am astounded at the absence of judgement shown by everybody associated with the decision to use those words. Time for some gardening leave fella’s.
Good to see the Fraser like comedy fans out in force “they’re not even funny” shouldn’t have to apologise for doing nothing wrong
