Confused complaints to ABC Australia reveal anger over Jimmy Kimmel
www.abc.net.au
The ABC has received hundreds of complaints about US talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live! being pulled off air and threats to boycott sponsors ... but that's the problem when two broadcasters from different countries share a name!

In short:

The American Broadcasting Company has axed Jimmy Kimmel Live! for comments the host made referencing the murder of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk.

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation has received hundreds of complaints intended for America’s ABC about the show being cancelled.

The vast majority of complaints sent to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation contained expressions of dismay, with many citing concerns about free speech and the First Amendment to the US Constitution.

    Hey me too,

    I was hoping to just buy Thomas the tank engine DVDs or something and then tell the kid that’s all there is until they hit school.

    My wife said that’s a bad idea, so 🤷

      If your kid is into trains, go with Chuggington over Thomas. Dinosaur Train is also pretty great. Time-travel, Trains and Dinosaurs!
