Kyle Sandilands suspended from 2DayFM
Controversial shock jock Kyle Sandilands has been suspended from radio following comments he made about funny lady Magda Szubanski.
Sandilands sparked outrage on Tuesday when he said the actress could become skinny if she was in a concentration camp.
Her family is of Polish origin, a country where many of the worst Nazi concentration camps, including Auschwitz, were located.
The general manger of Sydney radio station 2Day FM, Adam Lang, released a statement on Wednesday, saying the comments were unacceptable.
"2Day FM has suspended Kyle Sandilands following comments he made during The Kyle and Jackie O Show on Tuesday 8 September, 2009," the statement said.
"The suspension will be in effect pending further discussions involving Kyle Sandilands and station management.
"2Day FM believes the comments made by Kyle were unacceptable and sincerely apologises and regrets any offence they caused."
It comes about a month after Sandilands and Jackie O were off air for two weeks following a segment in which a 14-year-old girl was strapped to a lie detector and asked on air about her sexual history.
They returned to the air on August 18.
