RE: Holly Willoughby That Dress
So lets put this in perspective here for a moment. The UK currently has a population of roughly 62 million people and yet only 139 decide to complain, whether this is to ofcom or the BBC directly is neither here nor there, just take a look at the statistics. 139 people were offended, big fucking deal, we will always have a select few in the minority who like to complain.
I wonder how many people were delighted with the dress or I wonder how many people actually didn't give a shit either way. I suppose in ofcom's deluded world that 139 complaints = widespread harm and offence.
Why are these professional complaintants being pandered to. So you didn't like Holly's dress then, change the fucking channel and watch something else, I mean it's not like other entertainment wasn't available. Nobody put a gun to your head and forced you to watch you fucking idiot.
Besides Holly has a cracking set and if she wants to flaunt them then who are we to stop her. I mean just what the fuck is the UK turning into these days. Fucking Iran or something

RE: Holly Willoughby That Dress
If a third or half of the audience complained, then fine, it's an issue...but I've always thought that if it's less than ten percent, or worse, just a couple of people...then the complaint should be binned. Fuck 'em.
One complaint getting some advert banned, or a channel fined is a joke and an abuse of power by the regulator.
I would loved the BBC to have done a Points of View type statement after 10pm, with a 'we apologise that Holly's dress offended one percent of our viewers, clearly her cleavage will turn your husbands on, your wives into lesbians and make your children ask awkward questions, to those people we say grow up, you sad deluded little whine donkeys', maybe throw in a 'fuck off, now be offended'
It really is a big old fuss about nothing, I mean seriously...cleavage

139 out of 9,000,000 don't think the BBC will be too worried.
