Still, the likelihood of anyone watching these channels being offended by these words is minimal to say the least so the whole rule is just bollocks really!

Which is why I refer to OFCOM as "The Wankers"! Tongue

RE: Why Can't They Swear ?
Just after 9.00pm last night on PartyGirls, Geri said mastabates and then tried to clear herself by saying it was Master Bates from Captain Pugwash.
I think this may actually be an urban myth. I've heard it before but dont think there was a character called Master Bates or Seaman Staynes in Captain Pugwash.
The night before, Tiffany clearly said on the microphone "I pinched her clit" after grabbing Donna.
A few nights ago, I heard Camilla use the word "shit" and then apologised.
I'm certain Amanda has said a few rude words when she's been on the Microphone but cant remember any offhand.

I remember Morgan telling Partyboy to fuck off when she didnt know the mic was on but it wasnt clear and was muffled but if you do listen carefully she does say fuck. Think it was that show where she had a car accident and came into work with a neckbrace on

Swearing on the Mic.
Is there a reason the girls don't swear or dirty talk on the mic? Surely a bit of dirty talk would entice more people to call.
Just a thought Smile

Ofcom! Talking dirty/swearing on the mic has been done many times before, in fact it was being done on a regular basis recently by one of the babes, however, Ofcom get their knickers in a twist over this sort of thing. Actually, they get their knickers in a twist over many things, but then, they do know best. Rolleyes

Incredible double standards all in the name of education!

I mentioned this show a while back on the rules and regulations section, because of how ridculous it was for them to allow it, and not allow full frontal nudity after the watershed on adult channels. What the hell is going on in their minds? A vaginal camera showing an ejaculating penis (Felt like I was getting sprayed in the face from the inside shot) is OK because it's to educate us, but we can't see a full frontal shot on the adult channels if we want to be turned on??????? Why is that? Also, this show has a very porno sounding soundtrack, further making Offcom out to be hypocrits.

So ridiculous Rolleyes

RE: Why Can't They Swear ?
Ofcom likes to have more than one way of enforcing its will. Even if something is permitted under one set of rules (nudity, strong swearing) they find another set to ban it with.

Lee Evans can swear like a trooper. Frank Skinner can come out with graphic sex descriptions. And thats OK. But if a babe channel uses sexually explicit language thats banned because it is in an advert for a premium rate sex line, and neither swearing nor sexually explicit content are permitted in adverts.

I had hoped a bit of sanity might creep in once the channels officially became teleshopping channels - adult sex ads are notoriously rude, at least in the back pages of mens mags. (Update: just checked the back cover of The Lady, and it does seem more subtle: "Horsey woman seeks rider for gallops", "Farmers wife with well maintained gables has opening for young lad to plant hay and fisting").

What is equally absurd is that channels that clearly only exist for sexual arousal can only show certificate 15 strength material. If it cert 18 strength AND intended for arousal (unlike documentaries, womens wrestling, womens beachball and anything featuring Julia Bradbury) then it becomes the banned "Sex-Works At 18" category.

Ofcom rarely investigates a program. No honestly, it investigates about 4 babe shows a month despite their being 22 or more adult channels, many operating 24 hours a day - thats over 400 hours of new material a day. BUT, and this is a big but, when it does investigate it say things that should worry every channel.

It goes out of its way to say the presenter was showing her bum to the camera, or had her legs open "in a sexually provicative way". Or simulates oral sex with her microphone. Or gestures towards her nether regions as if guiding a penis in during intersourse, or similar rubbish.

Basically ANY flirty or suggestive moves can be interpreted as sexual, therefore a show is a "Sex-Work at 18", BUT they only roll this power out when they feel like it.

Its a bit like being told you can have a car, but only so long as you dont drive it, then seeing traffic wardens watching a busy road full of cars doing exactly the same thing, but waiting for one car in particular.
