RE: Ofcom Discussion
Ofcom have got all this what is harm and offence the wrong way round. When I was a kid I'd have many a nightmare which is very common at that age. I will list you a few examples here.
Back in 1985 I went to the cinema to see Return To Oz, the follow up to the Wizard Of Oz and much darker than anybody had anticipated at the time. Certain scenes stick out to me, the men on the wheels chasing Dorthy and the wicked Queen who had a variation of different heads in a cabinet. That's just a few of the scenes that scared the living shit out of me, believe it or not this movie was made by Walt Disney.
Also I remember seeing various similar type programmes, some were even on childrens telly.
Not once did the sight of a naked body on the telly however give me nightmares. I should know because Channel 4 was showing some quite racy stuff during the 80's and 90's.
So my argument basically says that if a child were to accidently get up in the middle of the night and stumble across the 900 channels just what kind of harm would it do.
I'd imagine stumbling across the Horror channel would likely have an effect on a child whereas naked flesh just wouldn't. Ofcom need to get their research and facts straight. It's a no brainer just what is offensive to a minor and what isn't and nudity just isn't one of them.

RE: Ofcom Discussion
Does anybody know when Ed Richards takes his holidays, would be interesting to see if it is him that is spouting all this bullshit about the 900's being offensive to children, well offensive or not they are quite clearly labelled as Adult Chanels although to go along the same lines as Continental, maybe they should just stick them in the 600's next to all the childrens channels.
Afterall as ED and the gang put it, they must not cause any offence to the children. If we are using children as a pond to play then Babestation and co should now be placed next to CBBC and The Disney Channel.
What a choice now The Flintstones followed by some Babestation and then rounding up the nights entertainment with some Blue Peter directly after watching feel or no feel on Televison X.
Maybe Richards should do another research and send out a survey around all the primary schools asking the kids if they reckon Lucy Summers should get a boob job or not.
I mean as he appears to think that they watch the channels then I'm sure any feedback Miss Summers get from a large part of the viewing audience is vital in order to keep all the customers happy

Maybe this is why Alex Salmond is courting school children as prospective voters in 2014. Vote for me kids and I'll give you tea time porn It might explain why Ed's being such a knob!

RE: Ofcom Discussion
Ofcom's latest broadcast bulletin came out today, issue number 216 and dated 22/10/2012 .
No babe channels were mentioned as being found "in breach" or "not in breach" , so i presume the investigation launched into Studio 66 mentioned in their last bulletin is still ongoing .
Ofcom broadcast bulletin mentions that they received complaints about three babe channels , Ofcom received a complaint about sexual material shown on STD 66 on the 25/09/2012 , Ofcom assessed the complaint but decided not to investigate further.
Ofcom also received a complaint about RLC 4 for something shown/done on the 12/09/2012 , Ofcom also decided not to investigate this complaint further .
Ofcom received a complaint about something done/shown on Storm nights on the 29/9/2012, but this time Ofcom have decided to launch a investigation into this complaint .
Life is short . Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile .

When I mentioned about the 9pm watershed there response to me was that they don't believe children don't go straight to bed at that time!! In otherwords they are saying that the watershed really means nothing to them at all? I also mentioned about the farce concerning the classification of the adult channels being classed under the umbrella as shopping channels. The answer they gave me was not convincing at all to say the least.
You talk about double standards, when the clock strikes 9pm a woman can bare all for a medical programme, yet when it's for sexual pleasure the 9pm watershed doesn't mean the same thing!! What a load of Bollocks!! It's one rule for one programme and one rule for another it's a bloody joke!! These guys couldn't regulate bath water let alone programmes
Yes you can see a vagina lips open wide at 8pm Embarrasing illness thing yet you can never,ever see this any other time after watershed ever,ever,ever..SEXIST ,HYPROCRITAL AND ,WELL ,,,,SEXIST.
