Ofcom Discussion

Yea you're right Stan maybe I was clutching at straws a bit, however if they could prove to Ofcom that it would be secure then maybe just maybe Ofcom might allow stronger material, oh well who knows with these Muppets in London they couldn't even regulate a piss up let alone anything else

Well Shankey if that's what they are considering then the all the Babe channels might as well start packing there bags and go home, because if that comes into force the affects on the babe channels would be catastrophic

Sadly I don't see anything changing for the better. Ofcom clearly finds vaginas to be scary and dangerous, and I don't think the babe channels care much to do anything about it. Playboy seems to be the only one who might take a stand, which I think is terrific!

However, I get the feeling that even with the dimished calls, that the women don't care too much because they can still make money by doing shoots for the websites, by doing non website photo shoots, and by escorting, under the radar or not. Anyone of the best women on these channels can just sleep with a few people and presto, that's a few grand in the bank, not to mention the fact that many of them are sought after to cameo on TV shows, or to work at boxing and sporting events. Even with the low calls, it's not like all of them will be out on the streets soon, so that's the main reason why I don't think some of them care much. Now, the less popular women would care more, because they are less sought after and have less opportunites in the same field outside of the night shows. The only options for them are porn or escorting, or a regular 9-5 job (if there are any left), so calls are very important.

Look at Elite. Most of the women are pretty damn good looking in general, fake breasts or not, and if the channel was to go under tomorrow, most of them could probably get good work very quickly, but that's because there's a greater number of attractive women there, whereas on some of the other channels, there are more women and it's more mixed. They'd also still have the website, which I'd assume is quite successful. Elite has little incentive to rock the boat or to challenge Ofcom, not to single them out, but I think some would agree with me.

I'm surprised that Cellcast hasn't challenged Ofcom, because they have gone way downhill in the past month or so, and the numbers of very sought after women are quite small, when compared to how they were a year ago. Maybe I'm wrong and they are doing OK, but it doesn't seem that way.

Regardless of my theories, it's been proven already that the women on ALL of these channels are willing to show more if allowed, not every women, but most from what we've seen. Also, I would say that these channels were much more successful when the censorship was less, so based on that, the calls aren't going to diminish if the women show and do more. They will INCREASE!

Well this might be a futile act but I've decided to right to the Prime Minister and let him no my thoughts on Ofcom and with the needless regulation costing his government millions of £'s etc etc.
And if a 9yr old can write to the PM and get him to act then I think I'll give it ago, I'm a guy who is determined to save our beloved babe channels, i can't just to let them slowly slip away. Look I'm 38 yrs old i pay my taxes, and if I want to see beautiful naked woman on TV well I say F**K Ofcom and I'm going to give it a go and write a dam good letter to him.
Let's face it I've got nothing to lose.

It would be good to know just what would satisfy Ofcom.

Erm I meant by way of anti-kid technology, not getting focked senseless.

Mary Whitehouse threw enough hissy fits and complaints back then trying to be a self imposed regulator, imagine if Ofcon had her onboard now lol!

Makes me wonder if Ma & Pa worded the brats letter as most 10 year olds wouldn't normally be that clever with their use grammar or technology!

Thing is back then everyone, and I means everyone, thought she was a joke, it was just that no-ones dared to come out and say it. Local vicars were all into allowing kids to have sexual freedom. These days there are a lot of middle aged saddos who've never had a sex life who would agree with her, too many Christian broadcasters who won't stand up to her successors and a queue of politicians wanting to lick their ares for a few cheap votes.

We all should. I keep telling myself I will, havent got round to it yet. The outline of my message, short and polite, will be that in a civilised society broadcasting policy for the entire nation should not be revolve around one 10 year old who has the initiative to write to the top. Also adults are entitled to adult friendly entertainment during the day, provided it is not actually harmful to children. The concept that before 9pm everything on every channel should be suitable for all children is absurd. If applied even handedly many popular programs would be banned. Many relationship type shows discuss divorce, marital violence, casual sex and casual drinking. Divorce is a vary scary subject for children, particularly those who are going though or have been through it (affects Trisha, Jeremy Kyle, Loose Women and more). The supernatural scares some (Ghost Hunters International). Special Rescure Ops deals with mild peril. No, severe peril actually. Two And A Half Men is broadcast on Comedy Central from 11am but revolves around causual sex, heavy drinking, smoking, gambling and drug use. The X Files (Sky Atlantic 11am) can be scary. These are just a few examples that are not suitable for all children. Even QI, Top Gear and Have I Got News for You contain sexual references. Many adults work antisocial hours and cannot watch evening television. Many adults live in child free homes because their children have grown up, they have not had any yet, are infertile, or are gay. These people make a valuable contribution to the economy and society in general and are entitled to varied stimulating and entertaining television throughout the day. By all means keep the main 5 channels child safe, but please dont insisist that every channel, however specialised, is suitable for 10 year olds during the day.
