I havent seen it, but Jeff Coons is the artist who married Italian/Hungarian porn star Ilona Staller, better known as la Cicciolina and produced a sculpture of them having anal sex, as well as a giant ceramic puppy. No idea how rude the content is, but it would be difficult to discuss his work (I hesitate to call it Art) without covering the sex.

The vids are a bit ruder than usual, showtime varies but it is never earlier than midnight. Most of the tracks are rubbish to be honest and it means sitting through contributions by obnoxious rappers who make my fists itch, its very repetitive, but there are a few tasty plums in there. The track on right now has about 4 women whispering "can you see the sweat dripping from my body" while a woman in bra and pants pole dances. An earlier track had about a dozen young women at a party gradually going topless, snogging each other and occasionally holding each others breasts. Another had 3 women in skimpy tiger print knickers sucking lollies suggestively, rubbing lollies near their crotches and planty of close ups.

All editorially justifies of course, but some of it would be a clear breach of the rules for babe channels.

Then there are 12 minutes of adverts per hour for income generation, including ads from Debenhams.

Sounds very similar to what Ofcom are getting away with today. Letting there own individual prejudices against the babe channels reflect on the restrictions they put in place.

Would have caught up earlier, but Victoria Coren was on some sort of quiz show, one team were cunning linguists. One answer was "One nob". Should have taped her saying that. (Its a cribbage move apparently).

James Ferman allowed a lot, but had a thing about martial arts weapons, and they just showed a banned scene from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles where a string of sausages were used like nunchucks. Probably not what most people would think of if "banned sausage scene" were mentioned.

"The grown up sex and relationship talk show. Advice and debate on topical issues surrounding sexual health, sex education and relationships. This week focuses on sexual positions." says the info. Dont know if its just talk or, er, more interesting, but they made a point of getting a write up in the papers.
