The Two Johnnies came under fire this week after a clip appeared on their social media that caused quite a stir.
The since deleted clip showed the lads discussing car stickers that their podcast listeners sent in. The stickers contained slogans that read, “Tyres are like women, no good unless they are squealing” while another said, “She’s not a princess, she’s a sl*t”.
Followers were less than impressed with these quotes being discussed.
Journalist Kevin Doyle Tweeted, “I’m far from the sensitive type but after the conversations we’ve had this year about full and equal respect for women it’s hard to see how they thought this was funny. ‘She’s not a princess, she’s a sl*t’, being just one of the “funny” slogans.”
Since the backlash, The Two Johnnies have issued an apology saying, “We would like to apologise for the content which appeared on our social media, these posts were offensive and should never been published.
“This is not who we are nor what we stand for. We aim to do better in the future, we are not perfect and we are learning all the time. John O’Brien and John McMahon.”
The pair did not appear on their radio slot yesterday amid the controversy.
