Should mobiles be banned on set?

I agree with a lot of what your saying Scottishbloke. However, with the inevitability of no rule changes happening in the short term;
should producers simply become complacent in letting the models put on lazy shows while messing on their phones or should the pressure be increased on finding new ways to keep the viewers attention and keep thing fresh within the margins of what is 'allowed'

Some blokes like the airheaded bimbo look. You know, phone glued to here ear, talking complete garbage, possibly smoking, pushing a pram and wearing a shellsuit. For them seeing a babe on a phone is a plus.

In the real world it really annoys people to see an employee at work using their employers time for personal natter. While ignoring customers. Its slightly different if the employee is on commission, and slightly odd that they would prefer to talk to their mates or play games rather than earn some cash. Are they really that overpaid?

What are they paid for anyway? Dont many of the calls go to offscreen babes? So the girl on the screen is being paid to fill the screen. Theyre doing that.

Heres an idea for a new service or two. Press # to listen in to the babes private call to her mate about which washing powder to use and boybands. Press @ to play against the babe on her game, 10p per direction key pressed, 20p to jump, 5p to crouch.

no but only can use them on their breaks

Rammy, the girls leave the sets to go behind the scenes when they are on a break, therefore, personal phones should still be banned 'on set'

I get a bit annoyed when I see a babe on her phone personally, it might sound petty so just wondered anyone else's view. I know, fair enough she might not have a call, but it doesn't exactly inspire a caller when there head down and on their mobiles.
But even worse is when they're on screen, on a call and still fucking about with their mobiles.

Discuss, not cuss

I agree, personal mobiles from the set, its just bad manners!!

a woman that looks and sounds like Jimmy Saville; that does it for me!

new poll - is using this icon > the equivalent of laughing at your own joke?

It's not up to us, whether mobiles should be banned or not.

I'm surprised anyone would vote no. Their job is to be on the company's phones talking to punters and giving them their full attention. By being on their personal phones, they never will be professional and be far too distracted.

Their phones should be left in the dressing rooms, to be used when they go back there for their breaks, or if an emergency happens, but its ridiculous to think its ok for them to have their phones out when they are working!
