That was the whole idea of having a 241, now they have killed that off completly and it answers my question why Elite stopped them all of a sudden.

So ofcom are concerned young kids are watching these channels? Okay they should be in bed at least before midnight how about relaxing the rules a little after that time? And if the adults caught them watching the channels surely they should have them pin protected.

• ensure that where more than one presenter is in shot greater care is taken to avoid broadcasting the above images or language.

Which referred to the other 9 points (no breasts before 10 yadda yadda). But now it says, to quote eccles above:

If there is any contact between the presenters of an erotic or sexual nature (for example kissing, stroking, or contact between thighs, breasts or genital areas) or any miming or simulation of a sexual act performed by one presenter on another, in Ofcom‟s view there is a high risk of causing serious or widespread offence against generally accepted standards.

This is very annoying. Previously it seemed to be pretty empty of content, just 'be more careful of points 1-9!', which they have to be anyways. But now lots of things appear to be not allowed. Not sure if it stops spanking, but I suppose so.

So maybe this was in response to babechannels seeking clarification on a pretty useless small bit of the earlier guidance, but if so it seems a very bad job. The conditional statement 'If xxxx then in Ofcom's view there is a high risk of causing blah blah blah'. Such a weasel sentence designed to cover their asses.

Once you have accepted this, it then boils down to a very simple formula; are they (the babeshows) currently making enough profit to make it all worth their while? If the answer is yes, then they will cross the road to avoid any confrontation with Ofcom, and that means sticking to their regulations no matter what.

This only confirms my earlier theory that it is the fans - happy with the content currently avaialble, who are to blame for the current state of play, as it is they who continue to line the producers' pockets.

But it's their money, and as much as it annoys me, I now accept that I have no right to expect them to boycott the shows just because I and others want to see more fanny.
