Ofcom Discussion

Don't know what to make of this cause I must be thick..Is it Ofcom staff been caught watching/searching for porn of they are searching for it for a real purpose?

Having read the article it would appear to me that yes the cat is out of the bag. Employee's at ofcom have indeed been looking at porn. So a moral censor paid for by us the hard working tax paying citizens are funding certain individuals to be scouting around for porn. I suppose ofcom might peddle out some bullshit line about how it was research being carried out. My arse says it was.

Let me make it crystal clear also that one shouldn't be using the workplace to look at porn, it's just not right especially when you are being paid to act professionally at all times. I used to have a colleague who got fired for exactly that.

Also despite the fact from a moral point of view that it's wrong to look at porn whilst at work you have to bear in mind too that you are using a company computer and looking at such sites also carries the risk of virus's being downloaded, not just onto the one computer but the whole network of computers which can cost companies potentially a shit load of money on time spent wasted whilst the computers are having downtime.

How ironic, ofcom an organization as bloody minded as the UK Government doesn't even bother to put on adult filters on any of it's own companies work computers when it preaches to the rest of us about harm and offense. Maybe the cunts should get their own house in order first and deal with the wankers that walk the corridors of their own building before they even attempt to piss on our front doorstep about what's right and wrong

Hilarious. The official guardian of our morals on TV and the internet says it is incapable of distinguishing between actual porn, Page 3, and swimsuits.

That is so unbelievable!! Cameron needs to take them down a peg or two but I reckon he won't. How does an official government body set up, lets it's employees get away with looking at porn during working hours without realising the consequences of their actions could be so potentially damaging? And who would be footing the bill for replacements?
They may force our babe channels to a point on non existence, but when it comes to their own house their let it be carte blanche there.
As for the porn filters I can't understand why they aren't in place.
They force them onto us but not in their house. And I wonder how many of our MP's actually look at in in the houses of parliament when they should be working for the good of our country. do the porn filters exist there I wonder?

Is it a bad thing if MPs and Ofcom employees enjoy porn?

To answer your question eccles. Short answer to that - No. It just goes to show that they too have exactly the same desires as most of us also do and it's called being human.

What however is wrong is once again, MP's are being funded by us the tax payers so ofcourse if they wish to look at porn in their spare time and on their own computer then fair enough but not on their works one within the houses of parliament when they are supposed to be getting paid to work, not fucking around looking for pussy

Also eccles if you don't mind me asking, have you been drinking tonight or something because thats a very short post going by your usual standards Normally you're the man that is answering the questions, not asking them

My question to the forum - Has eccles been drinking tonight

I would answer it's probably possible

Need to know if someone watched that Channel4 programme last night about porn, I saw a few minutes and some school kids about aged 14/15 were discussing what type of porn they had seen if any, some had, some not, my query is, I wonder if someone from Ofcom was watching because it might have opened their eyes to what kids watch, and from what I could tell these kids all seemed normal teenagers.

What if it helps them to clear their heads so that they work better?

I saw a small part of this, but not enough to tell if the brain scans allegedly showing porn to have the same effect as drugs were part of a properly conducted scientific study.

Did that well respected scientist, the ex Editor of Loaded, only show the effects of porn on porn addicts, or were ordinary people tested too? Did the brains of non porn addicts light up, or not?

Did he show the effects of other everyday (legal) substances that people become attached to, like chocolate, fags, coffee, TV soaps and Justin Bieber pictures? Because without that there is no objective comparison against which to gauge risk.

I am serious about this - ask a woman you spend a lot of time with to go a week without coffee and chocolate and see how cranky they get. See if they secretly have some and lie about it. Then try telling the Daily Mail and your local MP that these are dangerously addictive substances that should be banned and see what reception you get.

Did the documentary put any figures on how many young males are genuinely addicted, in the sense of not being able to function without porn?

As for young men finding porn models more attractive than real women they meet, that's hardly news. One is an airbrushed fantasy, the other is real. Likewise its hardly surprising that that some young men prefer to, ahem, pleasure, their dates best feature rather than, um, visit, the same part every time. Cute fanny=vaginal. Gorgeous face=oral. Fantastic arse=anal. Amazing knockers=boob job. At least thats the fantasy, and there is nothing new about that. The cavemen who sat around the fire while one carved the Venus of Willendorf probably discussed whether to "do" boobs or arse. What men tend to find out is that women have their own views on which bits get done.
