Marketforce looks to stamp out the word ‘retard’ with the ‘R Word’ campaign
Marketforce has called for a ban on the word ‘retard’ and ‘retarded’ on social media by creating a Twitter-bot which replies to anyone using the words with a video message from someone affected by the ‘R Word’.
The campaign, created on behalf of Avivo, aims to raise awareness and educate people about the impact the words ‘retarded’ and ‘retard’ have on those with a mental or physical disability.
This is a great idea, with a really noble cause. Surprised it hasn’t received more coverage!
What an absolute joke! 24 hours of sport ??? Are the management of 2UE or whatever you call it now, on drugs or are they just lacking any IQ or indeed common sense ?
Ive been a loyal listener to 2UE for over 35 years but now I will not be switching 954 on at all now. I detest sports talk ! same ole, same ole utter crap talking about overpaid boofhead footballers etc!
All my friends feel the same !
Grow a brain and go back to talking lifestyle or something similar !
First week without 2UE lifestyle and driving me nuts trying to find alternative station worth listening to. Missing John and Garry badly. Sadly most of this week I’ve just had the radio off. Let’s say the radio will be off all week until Paul and George are on during weekend mornings and even then they have been cut hours. Why in the world someone would decide to throw out perfectly good shows and make it into a 24/7 sport station is beyond me. So on weekend afternoon, you have pretty much all AM stations on sports – 2GB, 2UE, ABC, 2SM. If you want to get listeners you would think first to do something diffferent from other channels. I cannot wait until ratings of this new dumb format comes out and hope it drops like hell to near zero so management knows what mistake they have made.
