Ofcom Discussion

Well i came across a irresponsible website the other day that didn't give out any warnings that the content was Adult in nature , the website went into detail about the babe shows ,this website contained explicit language and went into explicit detail about what can be seen on various babe channels and what some of the girls have shown at various times on these channels , it gave out the names of various babe channels and even gave out the time that these channel have show very explicit content . Little toddler Jimmy could easily come across this website and be traumatized for life when he came across such content by accident , not only that this website makes children well aware of the babe channels and were to find them and what is shown on them , O i forgot to mention the name of this irresponsible website that gives out descriptions/details of tv channels that are adult in nature with no warnings , I'ts Ofcom in their Broadcast Bulletins .

It seems to me,that ofcom deliberately direct small & narrow minded people towards viewing babeshows in order to generate unjustified & malicious complaints,therefore legitimizing there ongoing & unjust crusade against babeshows.
Nice going ofcom,I see what your doing

Did you all see the utter filth that was broadcast around the 11ish mark this week that could be picked up and viewed by all those young and corruptable innocent kids watching in their bedrooms on Freeview, yes of course i'm talking about the programme, Sex and everything you need to know, and on Film 4, the movie Antichrist wich come with a warning about its content, I just wonder how many complaints they have recieved over these.

ofcom is never gona go away or stop mentioning stuff about the babe channels, thats why these shows are just complying with ofcom because they know that there is no way ofcom will leave them alone.

basically in the eyes of ofcom babestar were the ones that forced them to pay close attention to the babe channels, thats a fact.

Did you see Cameron urging the fuel strikes not to go ahead? Amazing really, this kind of strike action is one of the only methods of representation for the workingman. Cameron wants to remove every last piece of power the ‘lower’ classes have.

Anyway, the point is that this is freely available on daytime television; it’s good solid politics, the stuff every future capitalist should be fed on. I’d say that’s more repulsive, more impressionable, more damaging, and more inhumane than anything you’re going to see on the babe channels. Still, who’s going to argue with Cameron? Sex is a scapegoat – it’s an easy target, especially for politicians wanting your vote!

When I first joined this forum I used to be very passionate and enthusiastic that Ofcom's days were numbered, we on this forum were going to put them to the sword with our daily rants, oh how I've changed my outlook more these days. Now I haven't yet reached the stage where I am totally pessimistic that change will never happen, more I'm realistic and see no change in a hurry taking place. At the moment the goal seems to be survival for the babe channels trying desperately night after night not to piss off the censors which in turn has made for some pretty fucking miserable viewing, but which has also been pointed out is sometimes our perception of the show's can be a bit on the doom and gloom side of things as what we are seeing at current is far from disastrous, I think the crux of what piss's us off is when we see our European cousins not having to work under the same constraints and rules which the UK based ones have to adher to, it makes our blood boil. It makes us jealous so justifiably we call Ofcom all the bastards under the sun, when you look at the bigger picture despite all the bullshit the channels have to put up with Ofcom still does permit them to broadcast so we could realistically have a far more heavy handed censor, but that still doesn't make it fair or right for Ofcom to have such a draconian attitude towards them. Also on the subject of mainstream sex and nudity v Babe Shows it's a flawed argument from the start, you could in Ofcom's eyes defend movie's using the argument that it's intergral to the plot. The babe channels are wank material on the other hand with no plot or storyline to them. I am not defending Ofcom's stance on them for one minute, I'm just taking a step back and looking at this purely from an analytical point of view. Survival for me is still the key to hopefully future relaxation towards them from Ofcom. Let's just see where we are in a couple of years time once this censorship storm has been riden out, society at the moment is too PC but it'll change as will the babe channels.

Is there any party in the Uk like maybe the UKIP that allows you the freedom to watch what you want and wants to get rid of ofcom

when i 1st joined the forum
i didnt even know wot ofcom was and was more passianate & enthusiastic just about the fact i could write just how much i was loving a babe/show and say why aswel but its like if you say why on the forum
its like a panic button & it all kinda goes routine & less fun
if you say a babes got nice legs,the camera zooms in so you cant see them ect
nowadays i struggle wondering is it even worth it ?
i use to love being able to say how much i was loving a babes outfit ect
maybe a little straps down teasing or some open shirt cleavage i know im probably singing off a different hymn sheet or whatever coz i just mean the frivolous dayshows ect
i use to like sasha on the night shows anastazia hazel bond when i thought it was awsome
im really liking tori lee with her farrari car on set with her tonight & i dont care she`s not naked,all i want to see is just that spark of fun returning i cant see why everything is made to be so serious in this day and age
prudes is a word that just came to mind and all i want to do is admire the glamourous ladies and just tell them how luvly they look & that i love seeing thier show-it cant be a bad thing that really can it ? surely ofcom,im sure thier must be a way you can sort out this dilemna protecting those you see fit without denying the public their right to see a nice women who enjoy being looked at making people happy-its just a nice thing in life that people can apreciate i think
its enjoyable

These are quite large documents. Not read it all, but thought this was interesting

Only 2% visit porn sites! Clearly the research is garbage.
(Proceeds to use research for own ends)
2 times as many use the internet to contact the elected reps as watch porn? No wonder they want it stopped - that's hardly flattering is it?

Trouble is if they genuinely believe porn is a minoritory sport they won't worry about shutting it down. The tanker drivers have shown the way. If you have a job get the union to arrange a mass wank in. Female colleagues can give a hand. By making tea and sandwiches - what did you think I meant? And answering the phone, gets messy otherwise.

ANNOUNCEMENT

Under the Communications Act 2003, Ofcom has a duty to set and enforce standards for broadcast content as appear to it best calculated to secure the standards objectives. Ofcom recently announced a further like-for-like reduction in its annual budget. This is year two of a four-year programme to reduce significantly expenditure across the organisation while maintaining capability and effectiveness.

Reviews of viewer concerns and complaint volumes has highlighted that the adult sector is not an issue for most members of the UK population and does not warrant significant intervention. Ofcom proposes scaling back resources allocated to investigating the sector and only investigating if 5 or more independent viewer complaints are received within 7 days of a broadcast and the content is supposedly stronger than BBFC 18 or equivalent (unrated live content). A six month trial period starts today.
