After Crikey contacted Bouchet about the appropriateness of some of the content on his website, “Bruno loves boobs”, he removed the website. The website featured images of a man dressed in a fancy dress costume made to look like a used sanitary pad; a video of a man apparently beating up a woman in front of her child, and an “anti-Obama sticker slapped on a car featuring the phrase ‘Don’t re-nig in 2012′”, which Crikey deemed racist.

Bruno was fired in July 2012 following insensitive comments he made on Twitter about the 2012 Aurora, Colorado shooting.

Bruno was subsequently fired from his job as guest and talent producer at 2Day FM on 23 July 2012 after making jokes on Twitter about the 2012 Aurora, Colorado shooting. He told media website Mumbrella that he did not realise the seriousness of the situation and had been drinking. A spokesman for the network said that Bouchet had been terminated because his comments violated the network’s social media policy.

Bouchet later expressed his delight with the segment, counting it as a show highlight.
