Bulletin 152 (see link in sidebar) found several shows in breach:
ARY Digital:
"a contestant came on stage with a live snake and proceeded to bite the live snake's head off, and then skin the snake with his hands and teeth while continuing to eat it"This from a talent show on 3 December 2009 at 11am when children could have been watching. This was a repeat of a show broadcast at 10pm the previous evening - not a one off.
Tease Me TV accidentally broadcast one sexually explicit phone call at 5am on 3 November 2009. The broadcaster accepted there had been a mistake and said 'the language had been picked up by a "distant microphone" by accident. In addition, whilst acknowledging the language was audible, the broadcaster said "it would have been apparent only to a viewer who was listening intently with their television at high volume".'
One of these channels has been warned that it may face a statutory sanction - a fine or even being closed down. The other has not.
Ask yourself which of these is more offensive in any sane and rational society. Multilation of live animals particularly when children could be wartching, or bedroom language late at night on a channel clearly labebelled as having adult content? Which activity is strictly illegal in the UK - causing suffering to animals or rude language?
Now turn your answer on it's head - Ofcom being obsessed with sex instead of protecting children has threatened Tease Me TV with a sanction.
Are these fit and proper people to be controlling UK broadcasting?
As it stands at the moment there is no alternative to the "Babe Channels", where the girls can, if they so wish, be more explicit. Ofcom have seen to that. Their draconian stance, even on encrypted material, has forced the broadcasters to stop their live shows. They (Ofcom) state, in their latest bulletin, that:
ReplyDelete"Ofcom seeks to ensure that material of a sexual nature, when broadcast, is editorially justified, appropriately scheduled and where necessary access is restricted to adults".
However, as we all know, they also say that they refuse to allow explicit sex i.e. full R18 on these encrypted channels as they have evidence that children are watching. (that's bullshit, as they've twisted the information & statistics to suit themselves).
They can't have it two ways. But, of course, they can as their Ofcom and untouchable. Couple this with a bunch of broadcasters who are so subservient and you have this ridiculous situation in the UK.
Our neighbours in Europe have shown full-on sex on tv for many years. Has that harmed them? Is the UK a better society for NEVER having full R18 on tv?
The babe channels are a very popular genre, the girls have a great following and provide an excellent service. For those of us who would like more explicit & erotic adult entertainment, we have Ofcom.
