I see Damien O’Reilly’s Saturday morning farming show Countrywide was the subject of an interesting complaint about an item on etiquette for ladies.
During the item, a deportment coach told a lady: “You’re well-endowed in the bust … has to be said. If you stand up too straight, you might knock somebody over.”
A listener complained to the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI) that the comment was body shaming at its worst and could be seen as sexual harassment.
Light-hearted banter
The BAI dismissed the complaint and let Countrywide off the hook, saying it was light-hearted banter meant in a jovial way, with no offence intended.
