Adoption joke on Xfm this morning

[AngelsWithSilverWings]

Apparently a great way to put other kids off at sports day so that your kids have a better chance of winning is to shout out "you're adopted" or "he's not your real Dad"

Listening to this rubbish while eating breakfast with my two adopted children this morning

:(

Have you told THEM how that feels?

[JaneDonne]

Xfm I mean.

[AngelsWithSilverWings]

No I had a look at Twitter to see if they had an active account for the breakfast show but couldn't find anywhere to comment.

Just ranting on here for now but when I get a mo I may email the show.

Also wondering if I'm just having a sense of humour failure as I suppose they just think it's harmless banter.

We usually have radio 6 on at breakfast time but for some reason my DH had switched to Xfm this morning - bad timing!

I'd definitely email the show and tell them how offensive that kind of talk is.

[Devora]

It's not harmless. It's not funny. Do email them and let us know what they say.

[AngelsWithSilverWings]

Well I've just found time to email them some "feedback" and have requested a response.

I'll let you know what they say.

It is not funny. It is cruel and ill-informed. Will be interesting to hear their response band if they attempt to justify/defend the presenter....

[mcdog]

Did you get a response Angels??

[Shockers]

I hate 'jokes' like that. People just don't think .

[Italiangreyhound]

Excellent, well done for making a complaint. I think we all need to call them (the radio station/whoever/whatever) whether we are friends of people who say things that are inappropriate or if we are a listener and a consumer, the company needs to respect you and your family/us and our families.
