Who the fuck is ringing in with complaints or have they taken it upon themselves to monitor (oggle at) the channels and then ring in themselves??
All I know is they are ruining my enjoyment.
Complain about it to OFCOM. Tell them in no uncertain terms that your expectations are not being met. Tell them that they're unnecessarily interfering with your viewing enjoyment and leaving you bitterly disappointed, frustrated and marginalised.
I'm sure your beliefs do not align with those of the religiously fucked-up tits that complain about the shows. Indeed, I'm sure none of us believe what OFCOM have chosen to believe is 'offensive and harmful' according to certain narrow-minded, prudish and backward-thinking 'moral standards'. OFCOM have no legal right whatsoever to place bullshit beliefs/feelings above those of the secular and scientifically-minded majority in this land. OFCOM have offered no proof whatsoever to support their tirade against 'adult' programming but, instead, have simply pampered to their own intolerance and that of the morally and mentally corrupt minority who wish to stifle progress and the enjoyment of our lives in favour of pointless worship of long dead ideologies and child-molesting hypocrisy.
OFCOM have done nothing to protect our rights and liberties. Indeed, they have sought to crush, ban and decimate the few sexual freedoms we once enjoyed on late night TV.
Ask them HOW they can possibly balance freedom of expression with an outright ban when the only reasonable and logical means to achieve this LEGAL REQUIREMENT is to provide ample on-screen information (e.g. via the EPG and with on-screen symbols) such that responsible viewers can make informed CHOICES.
Ask them WHY all 'adult' entertainment is banned from our screens when BARB viewing figures show a SIGNIFICANT DECREASE in under-18 viewers after midnight.
Ask them what research they've actually done to find out how many households contain under-18s and also subscribe to 'adult' TV channels. Ask them WHY they believe adults that might choose to take R18-type material into their homes (and/or subscribe to such channels) CANNOT be trusted to keep their own children 'safe' from what is LEGALLY classified as HARMLESS material!
Can I suggest you also copy your MP in on your complaint and if OFCOM fail to respond to YOUR satisfaction you then ask your MP to investigate the matter further. OFCOM are SUPPOSED to meet viewer expectations - by law! OFCOM are SUPPOSED to balance your right to freedom of expression with protection of the under 18s - by law! If virtually no under 18s can or will be 'harmed' (as declared by the High Court re R18-type material in 2000) then OFCOM are likely breaking the law!
