He isn't being sacked for breaking the law you morans, he is being sacked for alienating half the Channel 9 audience by admitting to participating in a pretty grubby group sex act (consensual or not) whilst married. Legally probably OK, morally ?.... obviously not up to Channel 9's high standards. Just remember sponsors and advertisers wield the power, if they think Matty Johns has got a whiff about him then they don't want their product tainted.
yes but my point is how long should this S**t follow him? He apologised and there was no other requirement from him. What more do you want him to do, and how long do you want foolish acts of a young man to be held against him?
How would you feel if something you did when you were young, dumb and full of cum followed you years later

Mate it comes with the territory, you want to be in the public eye and work in the media than you better be sure you cupboard full of skeletons is securely locked. He is happy to take the $500K a year or whatever he is on at Ch9, so he needs to accept the risk that if he farks up they are going to hang him out to dry. That's the industry, like it or not. No sympathy from me. It's like these stupid farkin footballers taking high 6 figure deals to endorse products and then whinging because they can't go out and get on the cans and get a sly heady in the toilets at a pub. You want to be high profile when it comes to earning coin, but you don't want to be high profile when it comes time to man up for behaviour that pi$$es your sponsors off. Give me a break.
