Does religion have to be dragged into this? At the end of the day people are complaining over a minor matter and that is how girls are being treated on a tv screen not girls that u see see physically everyday but girls on tv, if you took this to court the judge will probably laugh at the case or be in disbelief that it managed to make it to the court in the first place.
I ain't gonna lie I like sometimes watching the shows but can't really stand it now overall but the truth of the matter is ofcom has been around since what like 2003 or 04 so it's not like a monster has suddenly now started causing problems for the channels, they have been regulating for years.
Like I said before there never gona go away and if u take them on u will lose, just get over it and accept its never gona change.
The girls are doing it in order for them to get exposure and of course earn decent enough money, I highly doubt they will side with u guys if it ever made it to the courts. They will look out for number 1 and that is themselves, think about it they have the easiest jobs in the world in waving their phones around and taking calls, u really think they will sacrifice that for rebelling against ofcom?
I think eccles was only being sarcastic when he mentioned the religion stuff , he just gave a example of how censorship in this country could go and the comment was made tongue in cheek and wasn't meant to be taken so seriously .
Yes Ofcom have been around for years , i think someone said 2002/2003 ? , but they never used to endorse the same strict rules as they do today , over time they have brought in new more restrictive rules , when i first had Sky installed in late 2006 the babe channels had much more freedom than today , full frontal nudity was allowed , the sexstation girls up to mid 2007 used to do full frontal strip teases's with every thing on show (not legs wide open) , close up pussy rubbing was allowed (knickers on) on all the channels as well , then Ofcom decided that what they themselves had been allowing for years they would not allow any longer for some reason , so they brought out new rules preventing full frontal nudity pussy rubbing etc .
Then in September 2010 they decided to recategorise the babe channels as Teleshopping services and brought out more restrictive rules , the girls couldn't go topless until after 10pm , quite a few channels used to let the girls go topless at 9.30pm at this time , they also brought out new rules preventing the girls from going naked until after 11pm , some used to go naked after 10pm . Bikini's were also banned on the day shows as well .
So Ofcom are gradually bringing more restrictive rules out as time goes by . What Ofcom had been allowing the girls to do for years they decided in their wisdom that they wouldn't allow it any longer . What they themselves originally thought was OK to be shown and would not cause harm/offence they decided after regulating the channels for years that this material breached generally excepted rules , so banned it .
As for the "just get over it and except it's never gonna to change" comment , well all i can say is thank god there are brave people in this world that don't just except that things can't change , especially when concerning fighting against tierney and dictatorial control freak organisations and governments , sadly i'm not one of them , but some people lay down their life to fight against injustice and censorship .
