Mainstream TV nudity vs babeshow nudity

Is your source reliable? I'm not sure it is.

Er, no inside information, and any impression that I have is unintentional, just a tendancy to quote from the rules and findings.

What I meant to say was that under Ofcoms reign of terror shes allowed to say it but the channels are so terrified that they self censor anyway.

To be boring and clarify, the Guidelines state broadcasters must "ensure any sexual language broadcast is restrained, and avoid its use altogether
before midnight."

Even if "fucking" was said in a sexual context ("Ill be your funcking fantasy") thats pretty restrained. If used in a stubbed toe/dropped drink way its not even sexual and the rule doesnt apply.

A headline from yesterdays Daily Mail is also relevant: "Licence to swear: Profanity is so common that it can't be offensive, judge rules". Mr Justice Bean, a High Court judge ruled that swear words are now so common that they no longer cause distress (though that does not extend to descriptions of sexual acts.) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-...ds-newsxml

On that basis we could see Connie Huk on Blue Peter talking about getting some fucking sticky back back plastic to make Advent decorations out of sodding coat hangers for the arsing old folk. Not that she would because shes a sweetie.
