Yet another person who totally fails to get the point of what these channels are about. How can they be classified as "teen" when you have to be 18 to call them, even for the daytime shows?
And how do you know that none of the channel bosses have signed the petition? It's anonymous, so no-one knows for sure who has or hasn't signed. All we know is the number of signatures.

well if any of them have signed you can bet that the rest of the channel employees would have signed it too and the number of signatures would be considerably higher and also from the publicity point of view |THEY WOULD LET US KNOW,and who says you have to be 18 to call them ,there is no censorship at all as far as the callers are concerned ,as long as the phone is unblocked to use ,or are you to tell me that you can tell the difference by someone on the phone that they are 18 and over unless they are in junior school or their voice hasnt broke !

Elite say you have to be over 18 Pretty standard requirement I'd have thought. I've heard the girls on numerous occasions say they've caught someone underage trying to call.



As for whether the channel bosses have or haven't signed, neither you nor I can tell for sure. You can only guess.

What do you think the chances are, if we get enough signatures, for this idea to be implemented? I have no faith in the tories but it'll be interesting to see there stance on this.

I think it was a great idea at the time unfortunately the results just haven't been good enough, all credit to eccles for going to the great measures but as it stands and will probably stand, I honestly think the most we'll probably get now will be just short of 600 unless we acquire more support, the channels could at least give it a mention. Babestation I doubt will want to promote it all that much as a change in the babe channel rules would have disastrous consequences for Babestation Xtreme as it would deem that project now pointless but the other's really would have nothing to lose as a change is in the majority's interest because right now they are dying on there arses.

529 now.

Christmas tends to be a dead zone for adult content, too much too do, too many kids and relatives around, not to mention booze. And in January people are just worn out.

Lets see what its like one week from now.

on top of most peoples priority list. yes there are those who are passionate about the subject but if you cant get more
than 1% of a forum devoted to the babeshows to sign your petition, then you can hardly expect to get even close to
that percentage wise if you start factoring in the general tv viewing public and those who dont watch these shows etc.

face it guys..Its a losing battle!

perhaps the administrators could put a message in the inbox of every member asking them to sign and also include it in the welcome message for new members.

the girls can no longer kiss each other, suck there fingers (on BS) and apparently wont be able to spank themselves soon. eventually it will be as racy as coronation street and we'll all be grateful for a glimpse of ankle.

mmmmmm ankle!

Spanking was banned a while ago. It still happens occasionally but every time a chanel allows it they are at risk. Been mentioned in the notorious Broadcast Bulletins several times. And episodes of TV family viewing show Friends.

it happens alot on some channels, but i wont name them if its true that they're reporting each other. if they are reporting each other to ofcom then they deserve to go bust.

how ofcom are able to ban babeshow girls from spanking themselves when theres a whole film about it is beyond me. havent they seen Secretary?

you see worse behaviour on skins. they can swear as much as they want. the babeshows cant swear at all. on an adult show. in the middle of the night. you hear worse on loose women

The petition is up to 542 votes now - thanks to everyone who has voted.

Significantly it is back on the first page of DCMS petition, having languished on page 2 for the past month. Progress may be slow but looks like it has slow all round, at its back on the first page where it belongs.

This is very good point, and ultimately what annoys me most about the whole farce. Programmes like Skins, Hollyoaks late night, Shameless etc etc... They can have sexual references, foul language and scenes of violence.
