Ofcom Discussion

Ofcom decide as they go along whats right, and whats wrong. We've known this for a while.

If anyone's going to be a rule-maker, they have to remain consistent, and Ofcom simply aren't. I sympathise with the girls who must be so unsure of what they can and can't do.

Ofcom can't fine those channels, whereas they can give the adult channels rules to obide by, with hope that they will be broken so they can make up a fake complaint, which will give them a reason to fine the channels. Just think about it, if anyone has been complaining about some of the stupid things that Ofcom has reported, then we'd have tons of complaints each day!

Anyone who's up at these late hours, and watching these channels to complain has some serious mental issues. Not that a complaint should matter though, but we've already gone over this.

It's silly to think that an image of a vagina on adult channels after the watershed is grounds for a complaint.

Ofcom don't need to instruct one of their wankers to watch the shows all night. All they have to do, is view this forum, and they have the time, date, and the gal involved, then they'll request the tapes for the night in question, and low and behold. Let fine Bangbabes £175.000.00

I should have said that, as that's kind of what I mean to put. I'm sure they do have someone on here, reading our comments and looking at the naughty caps, which gives them their ammo right there.

It's so lame.

The Public Bodies Bill is going through the House of Lords. Its basically a blank framework law allowing a minister to Abolish/Megre/Modify [insert name of public body]. Ofcom is listed in Schedule 7.

Will this be a fairly quick affair, eccles, or one of these long, drawn-out decisions that never sees the light of day?

I have to deal with regulatory bodies within my job.I can tell you that Ofcom is considered the most critical of all of the bodies. It would be political suicide to disband them.The broadcasting side of their remit is actually considered to be secondary to their primary function of enforcing competition within telecommunications.

As much as we would like to see it the only alternative outcome would be another body with at least the same power and remit.

Ofcom's view is that a vagina (Normal body part) is disgusting and offensive. I don't know why they feel that way.

Or one bird hold another ones pussy open. Hmmm. No, focus, that wasnt what I came here for (well it was, sort of, but not what I was going to post...

Thinks its just a mega enabling act for a lot of changes that will be pushed through in February. As far as Ofcom goes, its already been announced that it will be merged with PostComm, so if you order a pair of used knickers from BangBabes the postman may decide not to deliver them.

Also announced is that Ofcom will loose about 9 high level regulatory powers, like automatically reviewing Public Service Broadcasters every few years and reviewing broadcaster ownership.

There has been no word - either way - about easing up on detailed program regulation, so short answer is its neither good nor bad news, just a stepping stone.
