Ofcom standards case: LivexxxBabes, June 2008

Here's my opinion, for what it's worth.

All the specifically adult-related channels should go onto PIN-only after 10:00 (by that I mean in this country - Sky Ch's 901 - 959 at present). Thereafter, it is the duty of the parent/adult to ensure that minors do not have access to that material, much in the same way that it's their responsiblity to oversee appropriate access to the Internet.

What's then deemed suitable to be aired on those channels, seems to require a whole new debate. It is completely ludicrous that I can watch any obscene act I choose, on a PC screen, yet the TV screen situated 6 feet away, must be censored on an seemingly random basis. Why not have a pop at; Film-4, Movies For Men, Sci-Fi Channel etc., - there's sometimes harder stuff on there than the 'adult channels'

I'm fully aware of what was getting under the radar in 2005, for example. I paid for it, enjoyed it and didn't rape or 'flash'* anyone as a result of viewing it - surprisingly.

We now seem to have entered a new era of TV puritanism, made all the more ridiculous by my previous comments on the availability of whatever you like on the Web. The logic is so f**ked up & it really doesn't matter that 'this law / legislation states...blah', it's just f**ked up.

To sum up (sound like a frickin judge). PIN after 10:00 & hardcore(within the normal realms of that description) on P.P.V & PIN. Seems reasonable, doesn't it?...and you little Ofcom chaps can still watch it & say how disgusting it is, whilst simultaneously cleaning the mess of your keks.
*whatever happened to the Great British flasher? - damn, I miss those guys, they were so hilarious.
