I understand.
Here recently there was a scandal on the radio. An unpleasant man who has made a fortune on Australian Idol by heaping abuse on the contestants came unstuck on his radio show, on which he used a lie detector on people who were questioned on air. So this mother(!) brings in her 14yo daughter who is hooked up to the detector and questioned, by her mother and this presenter, about her sex life on air. The conversation went something like this
Mother: 'Have you had sex?'
Daughter: 'Yes.'
Mother: 'When?'
Daughter (in tears): 'Well, if you really want to know, I was raped when I was 12.'
Radio presenter: 'Any other sexual experiences?'It was that casual question at the end that overcame our modest sense of what is inappropriate. I should add that we flock to this show, it is the high point of that radio station's profile. So that is how our hypocrisies are panning out here.
