Axle Whitehead, former host of Video Hits (Channel 10)*
INDECENT EXPOSURE: a person who offends against decency by the exposure of his or her person in a public place, or in any place within the view of a person who is in a public place, commits an offence. Penalty, 1 year imprisonment.
It goes without saying that revealing your genitals in public is against the law. Luckily, most of us know that should one feel the desire to flash, this can safely and legally be done in the privacy of one’s home. Not on stage. And not in front of thousands of people.
In a rather Janet-Jackson-boob-hanging-out-at-the-superbowl-type attempt, Axle Whitehead, presenter of Channel Ten’s Video Hits, shocked (and probably grossed out) the audience at this year’s recent ARIA awards, after he decided to pull out his penis on stage.
And it didn’t stop there. He then went on to simulate masturbation on an ARIA trophy which he was presenting to hip-hoppers, Hilltop Hoods.
Unlike the Janet incident, broadcasting of the ARIA’s was delayed long enough to allow editing of the stunt out of the telecast. So those at home never saw it. But that hasn’t stopped industry mogul’s expressing outrage at the TV presenter’s behaviour. ARIA producers and Roving Enterprises has made it clear that they do not condone his actions.
Today, Axle resigned from his position and has issued a statement taking responsibility for the incident.
What a shame. His Wikipedia page has now been extended from 2 sentences to 3:
Host of video music show Video Hits
Contestant of the first series of Australian Idol in 2003.
Exposed himself at the 2006 Aria Awards

If you'd like to really help your brain and mine, do call over and see my sites and leave a comment for me. I'd really like that, I'm a little disturbed by this. He's gross, but so are the Jackson's really.
Thanks for keeping us informed.
