Ofcom proposing to get much tougher ?

this issue may get worse over time and coupled with my renewed faith in this forum here comes a modified motivational speech
see if you can guess which film its from
"Hold your ground, hold your ground! Sons of the uk babe channel forum , my brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of tears and limp members , when the age of babe channels comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand, Men of the breast!!!!!!!!!!!!! ... or arse or leg or whatever takes your fancy"
together we can do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
spread this or any other fightback talk around and let everyone know of what approaches

Thanks for the link wazo.

However the article seems to be scaremongering and is a little inaccurate.

These are the proposals:
http://www.ofcom.org.uk/consult/condocs/...9/main.pdf
(parts 4 and 6)

There will be a separate consultation for the babe shows in the autumn, postponed from the initial consultation last spring.
Here is the response from the Participation Broadcasters Association, which is the trade body that represents various "anonymous" channel owners:

Ofcom considers consultations to be a vital way of helping it to make the right decisions based upon the right evidence. Consultation starts with their publishing a document (all of which are published on their website), asking for views and responses. If the document is perceived to be long and complicated, a plain English summary is usually published. They then allow a period of around ten weeks for interested persons, companies or organisations to read the document and send in their responses.

If you don't agree with what they propose then let them know!

Problem is, these consultations are a waste of time PR exercise, to give that impression of accountability etc. They do as they want to, irrespective of what respondents say, and the broadcasters just sit back & accept it, hence the disgracefully censorial regime that exists in UK broadcasting, whether mainstream, babe channel, or what are laughingly described as ‘adult channels’.

Ofcon are fundamentally pro-censorship, as their current broadcast code, and subsequent actions, have proved – they talk a good game about the ECHR, TWF, but, in reality, ignore both. They can’t even live up to their own stated aims of operation, such as ‘light touch’, ‘proportionate’, ‘evidence based’ ‘regulation’. Though, to be fair (not that they deserve it), this goes back to the Communications Act 2003, and its ridiculous notion of 'offence'; by definition, offence is subjective, which means that pretty much anything has the potential to offend someone, so it should have no place it a situation that involves freewill, the ability to switch off, parental responsibility etc.

Sadly, this is symptomatic of the UK as a whole, whether it’s the BBFC censoring R18 material, Customs stealing imported, uncensored porn, councils hassling sex shops & lap-dancing clubs, or the greatest increase in modern day censorship, in the form of the so-called ‘extreme’ porn legislation that came into effect earlier this year in England & Wales, the whole issue being subject to typical propaganda, ‘consultations’ etc., while, in realty, making it illegal to merely posses material featuring consenting adults that the Westminster Government considers extreme, despite lack of evidence of harm, incompatibly with the ECHR, House of Lords finding the legislation unreasonable, unnecessary & unjustified etc. Also, typically, the adult entertainment industry in the UK was complicit is this; as they are only interested in maximising their profits, the prospect that those who seek uncensored, original titles, as freely available throughout much (all?) of the mainland EU, thinking twice about doing so, and therefore, potentially, turning to the often censored & overpriced R18 alternatives, was to be welcomed.

Remember, also, that the Adult Industry Trade Association actively supported R18 censorship in broadcasting.

There are many other examples, but you get the point.

Disclaimer: Some of the above is IMO, of course.

Still, it won’t do any harm to respond to the ‘consultations’, so I would encourage as many people as possible to do so. If nothing else, it will show them that not everyone thinks the same as Mediawatch, The Daily Mail etc.

IMO, however, Ofcon has made it perfectly clear that the only way to stop them is legal action, and the broadcasters, to their shame, have made it equally clear that they would rather accept ever greater amounts of censorship, and paying the occasional fine, rather than go down this road.

not sure if i really understand all of this but i`m onto some of it,i just think its a little over the top sometimes coz when you se italian tv,their babes are magnificent ,very beautiful and sexy with lots of fun times i just reckon the babe shows during the day could be more fun coz i understand about the late shows which i never watch anyway coz their just about as frustrating as it can get especcially when one of your fave girls is on but just for wearing a sexy dress or summit is a bit much if they have to keep most of the lady wearing it out of shot in the camera view ? we want more fun is all,something that`ll make us all smile,its not to much to ask for in times of a recession is it ? anyway more veiwers comments about this issue may change a few ideals for future entertainment,it s freewill to watch after all ,best thanks

lord of the rings
which sounds ace if you really think about it with some of those babes wearing see thru knickers

the day shows are what keeps me going,it really helps when you get unhappy so i`d just like to thank all the babes if you get to see this post xxx

i'm confused at how channel 4 can show autopsies and these channels cant show vaginas. i know which one i dont think is suitable for anyone let alone teens.

think they class it as educational firekind.

I had to laugh at the "sustained sex scenes" comment in the main article, since when as a topless girl shaking her bum and gesturing been classed as a sex scene? You find more sex scenes in “Secret Diary of a Call Girl” than on the babe shows, but wait that has a plot and is an ITV show so that’s fine by Ofcon.

The only positive I can see in the future in terms of censorship, is that thanks to the Internet most of the tech savvy younger generation have seen it all before and will be far less likely to be offended by a few topless girls shaking their bums, which may in the future help us to fall in to line with the rest of Europe when it comes to adult content, until then though, it seems like we are stuck with the prudes.
