Sandilands IS an asshole but I think he has been slightly misrepresented...he was saying that Magda is still fat (she is), and that she still could loose weight if she stopped eating (hence concentration camp analogy).

The SMH article makes it out like he said she SHOULD go to a concentration camp

"2Day FM for his comments that Magda Szubanski would lose more weight in a concentration camp."

This reminds me of the Chasers 'controversy' RE: Children. People misrepresenting what they say and just going crazy because there is humour related to some 'serious event', without looking at it objectively and see who is really meant to be insulted (Magda and in the Chasers case the starlight foundation), not people in concentration camps or the children, as these conservative radio stations would have you believe.
