Ofcom Discussion

Dear old CW will be in despair now all his favourite perverted activities have been banned!

On the rare occasions when Ofcom bothers to consult, the 1% or so of the population who call themselves active Christians come out of the woodwork and say porn is antiChristian. Setting aside the fact that the Bible says absolutely nothing on the subjects, apart from the ambiguous message is Salome, the Bible DOES say witches and moneylenders should not be tolerated.

When, exactly, did the born again and staunch "Christians" campaign for fortune tellers to be banned from TV? Its important to them, they claim communing with the dead is actually dangerous.

Moneylending, or usuary, is specifically banned in the Bible, but the only objection to payday lenders seems to be very high interest rates, not the fact that they are making a business out of lending money, whatever the interest rate.

No, the socalled "Christians" ignore clear cut Biblical sin and focus on the one subject that embarrass them.

just got this email from sex & censorship and it seems to be a humorous response to the anti page 3 brigade.


Can we get p*rn into the UK charts?


Xmas Single from TVX and Porn hub

Buy it, and help fund Sex & Censorship!

Christmas singles cum and go... they're usually cheesy, and most are quickly forgotten: this year is no different. This year's batch includes the (dire) Band Aid 30 year update, and a single to support anti-boobs campaign, No More Page 3.

For the first time, there's a porn contender: Television X and Porn hub have united to release Coming For Christmas, a tongue-in-cheek (or tongue-in-something, anyway) take on the genre. The single features an all-porn cast, including veteran stud Ben Dover on drums. Wouldn't it be nice, at a time when UK regulators are introducing tough censorship controls, to get it into the charts, and make a Radio 1 DJ cringe as they explain why they can't read out the title on-air?

TVX have agreed to make a donation to the Sex & Censorship campaign if the single reaches the charts. Can you spare less than a pound, to help fund the campaign going into 2015? If you're on Spotify or another streaming service, you don't even need to buy it - just play it.

Coming For Christmas is available on: iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, Spotify and other music services. You can also watch the clean version on YouTube and the unclean one on Porn hub.

Please buy and spread the word!

Thanks,
Jerry

Ofcom has fined two companies £20,000 each for abandoned phone calls. MYIML Limited, a lead generation company, made an estimated 30,296 abandoned calls between 16 December 2013 and 3 February 2014. Green Deal Savings Limited, a company offering home energy efficiency services, make an estimated 12,703 silent calls between 27 October and 14 December 2013: it also made approximately 420 abandoned calls in one 24 hour period on 27 October 2013.

Thats 30,296 homes disrupted by one company and 12,703 homes disrupted by another. That's a fine of 66p per offence for one company and £1.57 for the other.

What does that have do with babechannels? Simples, there is simply no comparison with the fines dished out per offended person. The going rate for babechannel fines is about £25,000 to £60,000 per offended person, and unlike victims of abandoned calls, the offended people deliberately chose to tune into the babechannel.

^^^ True, and the 'offended persons' in the case of babe channels can usually be counted on the finger of one hand, rather than in the tens of thousands. Furthermore, this offended person is usually fictitious, kindly supplied by a rival channel. Ofcom are a disgrace, wasting public resources in the pursuit of a quasi religious agenda.

It all stems back to the original argument if everybody chooses what they want to watch and mind their own fucking business then we'd all just get along fine.

If porn or soft porn isn't banned by law then how can a channel be fined for broadcasting it on the telly when it's clearly labelled as Adult.

As for the so called Christians, what a bunch of hypocrital inbreeds them lot are. They've moved the goal posts more times than I care to count. I mean gay marriage, what the fuck is that all about when it quite clearly states in the bible that same sex relationships is a sin and is up there with murder if they care to read their book properly.

Bottom line, get your own beliefs sorted out first before casting judgement on others.

the be all and end all is no1 is prepared to stand up and say we enjoy watching these channels and we are offended by the fact that some gray suite is telling them what is and isnt decent under the assumption that there morals are some how better than mine.

until all the channels and all porn publishers take ofcom to book under a civil court/class action nothing will change.
they wont because they believe ofcom would while the case drags on, find more and more reasons to issue fines and revoke licenses.

while its well worded and puts forward a genuine argument that is fair and balanced the sign up is a joke and will put people off.
i want to sign but i like my anonymity as do others and thats likely the reason this isnt getting the hits it deserves or needs. (i got pissed ath these guys for spamming me with lots of other requests to sign petitions for other issues that were both trivial and irrelevant to me)
im gonna have to think about this ... coz i do believe that the law needs revoking and it does infringe on our civil liberties. i just dont think these e-petitions are the right way to go.

^The problem is knowing what is the right way to go. We have a draconian piece of legislation, which has been written into law and is reminiscent of something of something you might find in the 19th century let alone the 21st. Someone else said earlier on this thread that this is the thin end of a wedge and I agree. You can't help but wonder what else they will try and write into law....'1984' anyone
