RE: OFCOM: Bang Babes & The Pad - MARCCE - 06-07-2009 17:41 Ofcom took into account that Jonathan Ross is a well known personality, who has an irreverent, challenging and at times risqué humour that is familiar to audiences. Ofcom also recognised that the comment was clearly aimed at an adult audience. Importantly, if children did hear this comment it was unlikely that they would have understood it or its implications. In light of this, Ofcom considered that there was little potential for the comment to be imitated by children, for example in the playground. Quite frankly, there are some unbelievable double standards in that bulletin. Notably the complaints about Jonathan Ross. Firstly, this was a comment which provoked 61 complaints compared to the one that Bangbabes got. Note how Ofcom seek to justify it with a "you know what you're getting" type stance with Jonathan Ross. Isn't this also true of the babe channels? Then they go on to say that it is unlikely that children would have understood the comment made. Fair enough but how many kids would understand what simulated masturbation was? It would be reasonable to suggest that those that do would be sexually aware enough to decipher a remark aimed at being gay. It's then justified by Ofcom on the grounds that the broadcaster has to have freedom of expression. Hmmm freedom of expression that provokes 61 complaints is ok but freedom of expression that provokes 1 complaint isn't? Ofcom are nothing short of a joke and it's just a pity that nobody has the balls to stand up against them because some of their adjudications are ripe to be torn apart on the grounds of inconsistency. RE: OFCOM: Bang Babes & The Pad - Rammyrascal - 06-07-2009 18:06 their judgments do seem to be very inconsistent i agree RE: OFCOM: Bang Babes & The Pad - *Kal-El* - 06-07-2009 18:08 I think they need to relax to relax and enjoy the shows RE: OFCOM: Bang Babes & The Pad - 654321 - 06-07-2009 18:39 wot jonathon ross said wasn't even in the slightest bit offensive and 61 ppl complained? just shows how ridiculous this country is getting. Wot next? OFCOM ban bikini's in beach volleyball or aerobics shows? or only full body swimsuits allowed in swimming races? RE: OFCOM: Bang Babes & The Pad - THE INCREDIBLE BULK - 06-07-2009 18:40 God what a boring bunch of pricks! OFCOM should do themselves a favour, watch one of the shows tonight...have a wank...and GET OVER IT! Jesus! Uptight knobs! RE: OFCOM: Bang Babes & The Pad - TheWatcher - 06-07-2009 19:17 Most kids are probably watching sexstation online webshow on their laptops anyway.

SUCK IT! RE: OFCOM: Bang Babes & The Pad - rjack11 - 07-07-2009 09:14 Well the tories are going to strip them of power soon, so expect a lot of shit now. RE: OFCOM: Bang Babes & The Pad - hugh_g_rection - 07-07-2009 14:50 with the certain segments of that report that i could be bothered to read, i couldn't help wondering to myself, that with these double standards in place, what would happen if you swapped the two occurences over, so that the Bang Babes presenters told a gay joke, and Jonathan Ross showed a bit of 'bammhole'? ;-) |
