The combination of adult content and premium rate services on TV will always get more attention from OFCOM.

I wouldn't say ofcom don't like the adult industly, more they don't understand the adult industry.

I think that they fear it, big time. They are afraid that the UK will become one huge debauched society with porn being widely circulated, having been copied off the TV.

That's my take on Ofcon's stance.

Perhaps they are worried that kids will rip porn from TV and upload it to the internet and mobile phones.

If ofcom would just cut a little bit of slack and allow the babe channels to show more then we would know for sure if these Asian Birds are infact chicks with dicks or chicks.

ofcom shouldn't slack as the rules are there for a reason and should be stuck by.

They won't allow more because many channels won't use pin, then i think they would allow some more. and men are allowed to do 'babe' channels as well.

Yes RCTV the rules are there for a reason, but it begs the question who's reason, because it certainly doesn't reflect the majority of this society, these reasons are based on these fucking ofcom religious cretins who values's are stuck in the dark ages and is not a true reflection on what value's we have in place in the 21st Century. It is clear for all to see on this forum that you are an ardent supporter of ofcom and you come on this forum for one and only one true reason, to wind the rest of us up, none of the above post hold's any water and it spouts the same bullshit from your mouth as the majority of your posts.

I am intrigued why you think the rules "should be stuck by".
Why do you think that Ofcon's rules are correct?

They are there only to appease a certain minority in UK society.

I will probably get opposition to the views I am about to give, but here go's just the same. It pains me to say this, but after being very critical of Ofcom in the past. I think I am in many ways coming round to their way of thinking. Not that I agree with any form of censorship, but I think I can see why they now choose to be so tough with the adult channels. and it's not what these channels put out, even though the content of the shows is always cited as being the reason. I think a more likely reason is found in the ethos of what these channels truly stand for. And that is a total disregard for the customers, other than wanting to take their money from them. One as to remember, members of Ofcom are not likely to be the type of people that will pay up to two pounds per minute to talk to some, albeit attractive girl on a telephone and must find the idea of such a thing baffling, something that even I find hard to fathom. And when they hear about some of the cynical ways that are used by these company's to get as much as they can from the punters, this is when Ofcom think they then have to step in to save the viewer and his/her money from going their separate ways.

That is just my theory be it right or wrong. But I just cannot for the life of me, get my head around why someone, be it a tv watchdog or anyone else should object to the sight of the female form in an unclothed state before a certain time of day. Other than wanting to protect what they might view as the more gullible members of our society.
