Toronto radio station CFNY has been reprimanded by the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council after a host made comments about Justin Bieber fans that the council concluded “inappropriately sexualized children."

In a decision released Wednesday, the council said the comments violated part of its “equitable portrayal code," which prohibits the sexualization of children in broadcasting.

The council said CFNY morning host Dean Blundell tweeted about his dislike for Bieber last October and suggested in vulgar terms that the singer was likely gay. He subsequently received tweets from Bieber's fans, noting on air on Oct. 20, 2009, that they were likely 12 years old, the council said.

During that show, Blundell and his co-hosts then repeated select tweets and Blundell's responses, some of which apparently referred to incest.

I have to say, though the comments are questionable, it is quite funny.

It still amazes me though, that people listen to the DBS knowing full well of the type of content it has had in the past and still take offense when something they feel is "inappropriate" comes up.

Heard about this. Yes it is quite funny.

I have no problem with anything he said, nor do I take any offense.. but he probably could have done without the comment about fending off the father at night. There are plenty of other funnier things he could have said.
