Seven’s Brisbane news presenter Bill McDonald has again attracted the attention of media for a cheeky photo on his Facebook site.
According to News Limited an image which shows two women in jeans accompanied by the caption “Camel Toes” appeared on his Facebook page.
The image was shared with the words “when girls hide that” alongside the picture.
In February he posted a landscape formation that amusingly resembled genitalia.
A Channel Seven spokesperson told news.com.au: “This matter is deeply worrying to everyone involved. Facebook can be a dangerous medium when used inappropriately. We have begun an urgent investigation into the security on this Facebook site.”
McDonald’s Twitter account has been closed but it isn’t clear how long ago this happened.
mcdonaldmedia.com.au is still active.

These memes get sent around all of the time, why is it OK for everyone else? I’m really getting tired of News Limited
one day I would really like to see a network release a statement that says something like “we have received numerous complaints that …. is offensive. we don’t care.”
Is this his personal site, the one he uses with his family and friends? Or is it the one where he represents News Ltd and Channel 7? Such distinctions make a difference.
So, I assume if we all went for a trawl through the personal Facebook pages of news ltd. journos, they would all be squeaky clean?
Women in jeans is a vulgar image? Give me a spell News Ltd. This sort of nonsense does not warrant news reports.
I saw Bill McDonald tweet on Sunday so clearly closing his account happened recently
Another massive beat up by news limited. Once again I noticed the so called journalist who wrote the story wasn’t willing to put their name to it.
