Television X gets told off for being too hardcore!

I have never understood how a channel where you can only subsribe with a card only 18 year olds can get, aren't allowed to show proper hardcore/uncut porn. I can understand that certain channels you can watch with the pin wouldn't be allowed to cos kids can get the pin on the skycard.

In this day and age where there's extreme violence on every night and sexual references and content on music channels throughout the day, why can't us adults enjoy a good hard porno without the censorship?

Because we live in a 'nanny state' where the leaders think they know what's in our best interest. These are the same people who have the nerve to spend our tax money on luxury items for themselves. Don't smoke, don't drink, don't do this, don't do that.

Yeh but I'm sure Jacqui Spliff's husband would want uncensored porn as well.

Indeed.

For those that read the adjudication you will see that the first penalty was issued for showing the url to TVX hardcore websites, unencrypted on sky, during the daytime.

Lazy? Perhaps.
Stupid? Maybe.
Too hardcore? Rubbish.

OfCom have made it clear that URLs to hardcore sites cannot be broadcast AT ANY TIME. Not even at 1am on a channel in the adult section. But excatly the same channels CAN broadcast ads for sexually explicit chat lines, 3G live video services and hardcore movies for mobiles, after the watershed, on unencrypted free to air channels. Seriously, if one of the channels took OfCom to Court for "perverse" decision making by a public body, eg irrational and inconsistent, they might win.

Those who file complaints, I can't get my head around it (what satisfaction do they get from it?).

As it said in the adjudication of this complaint, the person who complained was a rival broadcaster, i.e another subscription adult channel.

Oh, now I see sense. Well that clears it for me.
