RE: Ofcom Discussion
Trouble is this country is run by a small group of lefty narrow minded do gooders,who have no grasp of reality,ofcom fall into that bracket,one rule for them,one for the rest.We all know that there stance in that they are protecting minors is a load of bollocks,I would just love one of the channels to take them on next time they are found in breech,and hirer a top legal brief,take them to the high court and ram the strangle hold rules down their throats,to me this is the only way things are going to change in the near future,god I wish I was a multi millionaire,I would fuck them sideways,which it would not surprise me they do to their rentboys on the way home,I know how these fuckers work.

It's a joy to see them in restaurants with their families, quietly getting on with their meal and not screaming and misbehaving like they do in this country.
There's also no public disorder from young people, no binge drinking, no random knife attacks. There are obviously many social and cultural reasons that children in mainland Europe are so much better behaved than English children (I do think this is mainly an English problem rather than British) but the 900 channels cannot be a factor in this debate.
In mainland Europe, with less censorship, children and teenagers behave well and are obviously not 'harmed' by any exposure to erotic TV channels.
Here in this country, with draconian censorship of which Queen Victoria would have approved we have the highest rate of teenage pregnancy in Europe and a general culture of delinquency.
Why Ofcom keep using the 'protecting the children' card to justify their censorship I've no idea as it's a complete red herring.
if you compare the pregnancy rate in this country to the likes of italy, spain and france it proves that adult tv has no bearings on what youngsters get up to , in fact i would argue the case that the less they see the more they get up to , not knowing the consequences , the outcome or taking responsibility !

RE: Ofcom Discussion
Caught part of a program last year about teenagers,cant remember what the over all theme of the show was,but part of it showed them getting the parents of 14,15,16 year old boys and girls in to a room and showing them the sort of content they have on their mobiles,which I might add they shouldnt have access to,the shocked looks on the parents faces when they showed them the hard core stuff the teenagers had was quite a sight,also they asked the teenagers their attitude to adult content and most where not that bothered or shocked.Which brings me to my point,teenagers today have a different view of adult material from their parents,the same as my generation had from their parents,if they want to see it they will,and no amount of safeguards will stop them,in fact it has the reverse affect,and ofcom are worried about shows which are far from being classed as hardcore.Makes no sense to me.if they are that worried they want to start looking in the right direction.

With regards to eurotic tv I think I'd better set the record straight here and point out that their is no distinction between any of the eurotic tv feeds, they are all exactly the same, the only difference being is that from 11PM to 3AM they are allowed to show full frontal nudity but as far as this channel being a flesh frenzy 24/7 that is very well wide of the mark. New censorship laws at the end of 2008 brought this channel into line. Currently we only get this show up until 11PM before all the good stuff is shown afterwards but eurotic is a shadow of it's former self with many on the continent angered by the decision for this channel to show the first hour of the nightshow to us UK SKY viewers also which has meant they have had to abide by our own current draconian ofcom rules. In the past when this show used to show the models in all their glory at any point of the day would this point really carry more weight to it.
With regards to the rest of the adult channels on offer in Italy and the rest of Europe yes you have a point and the sooner we are brought into line with the rest the better but it's going to take some time yet before our dreams become a reality but I'm more than sure that eventually this'll come true, I wish I could put a time scale on it but all we have left is hope and to see if any if this current petition is going to change things for the better.
