As it should be – Complaint over prison rape joke involving PM is upheld

A prison rape joke involving the Prime Minister “went too far and showed poor judgment”, the Broadcasting Standards Authority has ruled.

The media regulator upheld a complaint about the radio stunt which involved the hosts of The Rock asking John Key to enter a cage and “pick up the soap” – a reference to a movie prison rape scene.

Key responded by saying the soap “smells real bad” and was “wet and greasy”, and he didn’t know where it had been. A host told him: “You’ve got a pretty little mouth Prime Minister”.

Hilarious. Add it to the list – John Key’s most cringeworthy moments. Ladies and gentlemen, your Prime Minister.
