Excerpt:
A QUEENSLAND disability advocacy group yesterday demanded controversial Australian Idol judge Kyle Sandilands be sacked unless he apologised publicly for referring to a contestant as a "mong".
The Down Syndrome Association of Queensland said the use of the term by the shock jock during Sunday's show was offensive and deplorable.
Sandilands referred to Brisbane singer/songwriter Bobby Flynn as a "full mong" while commenting on his performance.
I'd go one step further and say Idol should be banned altogether.

Oh, come on! You LOVE it! I'm with Kyle... he DID look like a Mong. What is that guy smoking?
Well to be fair, I don't watch the show or I might have a different opinion based on the context.
I'm just Idol bashing in the same vein as the BB06 bashers with 'the incident'.
Carry on.
This is the first year I've watched longer than 2 minutes of Idol (and were it not for my flatmate, I would have stuck to my zero tolerence policy) and I want Bobby to go all the way. I didn't see or hear the comment but I'm betting none of them guessed he was paying homage to Annie Lennox's Freddie Mercury Tribute performance. We already know Kyle falls under the non-creative garbage banner, so anything he says should be instantly dismissed.
For the zero-tolerant amongst us - what song was he monging?
