Mainstream TV nudity vs babeshow nudity

Since for ever, cos they're a bunch of useless, inconsistent, biased fucking criminals

Swear words are always going to slip through on programmes that were originally intended for evening viewing but
are repeated like QI and Would I lie To You etc etc
(I even remember a Best of The Carry On Films which aired mid afternoon with plenty of nipple shots a while back) but
in this case if its not reported then Ofcom won't know about it!

Truth be known, they would probably come down equally as hard if the swearing in QI was reported as they would
if a daytime babeshow girl let a naughty swear word slip over the mic!

It depends. If the swearing was gratuitous yes, Ofcom would come down on them and give them a very tame warning. The most recent Broadcast Bulletin found against several channels. But its not so clear if the swearing was not gratuitous, if it formed an important part of the show whose absence would be notable. Factors taken into account would include time of day, nature of the show and likelyhood of children watching. Swearing would not be appropriate in Teletubbies or another kids show at breakfast time or tea time. But a mid morning show would have a much smaller child audience, particularly if it is not interesting to children, like Loose Women, Jeremy Kyle, News or a documentary. It might be argued that younger children would not be particularly interested in a bunch of middle aged men trading obscure information.

Ofcom generally responds to the receipt of complaints, so if anyone is offended by the content of these non-babechannels, then they should submit a complaint and see what happens.

If no-one is complaining about the word 'dick' on Kerrang, then I suspect Ofcom aren't going to unduly concern themselves with it.

If this image of a 19 year old was shown on a 3am babeshow they would be hauled over the coals. The thumnail version on linked pages looks like something else. Click the link to find out where it came from.

^^ It's Whitney Houston's daughter drawing on a bong. The video was shot at some party and now the press have got hold of it? I'm not sure I see what you're getting at, eccles?

Indeed Stan...Obviously if a babeshow girl was doing this on a nightshow she would be hauled over the coles
but then so would anyone doing real drugs on tv..I really cant see what point eccles is trying to make!

The large picture makes it more obvious that she is using a bong. In the thumbnail it looked like a dildo, at least to my jaded eyes late at night. Apologies for the confusion.

But I'm still struggling to see what point you're trying to make, eccles. It's a private video shot by a friend at a party, which then fell into the hands of the National Enquirer. Even if it does look like a dildo, how is it in any way related to Ofcom and the babeshows?

Would images of the girls toking on a bong be allowed by ofcom?
