Some of those adverts are pretty xxx compared to whats shown during the proper show...it just doesnt make sense!
This is what really gets to me too.
And why is their attitude so inconsistent? When I first started watching (i.e. when BS came to Freeview), girl/girl, along with anything else remotely raunchy, was allowed on Sky but almost non-existent on Freeview. The Freeview censorship was gradually relaxed, although in a very rollercoaster way, until it was almost, but not quite, as good as Sky. Then they reduced it in stages on both platforms until eventually imposing an outright ban on any contact at all. Then a few weeks ago some mild girl/girl contact and interaction returned, but only on BS1. Now, as was emphasised a few time last night, the total ban on all physical contact is back.
Ofcom's rules didn't change during this time, and as far as I'm aware not one of those girl/girl sessions was ever censured by them.
There was a somewhat similar development regarding the use of oil and cream. At first they were allowed on Sky but banned completely on Freeview, then they were allowed on FV if applied off camera, and eventually allowed without restriction. Recently the off camera application rule has been re-imposed, as far as I know on both platforms.
Doesn't make any sense at all.
