Todays news - you cant make this stuff up. Probably just as well he never saw Tom and Jerry or Road Runner BBC News

Quote:US man guilty of urging attack on South Park writers
Chesser, shown near the White House, promoted violence on his web site, prosecutors said A US man has pleaded guilty to supporting a Somali Islamist militant group and encouraging attacks on the writers of cartoon show South Park.
Prosecutors said Zachary Adam Chesser, 20, was outraged by the cartoon's perceived mockery of the prophet Muhammad.
Chesser sought twice to travel to Somalia to join al-Shabab, which the US designates as a terrorist group.

He tried to go all the way to Somalia because of a silly cartoon he did not like? Certain lack of proportion. There's probably a sensible point about censorshop to be found in there, somewhere, but theres also a risk of getting too serious.

There's a whole ocean of material that the Yanks can provide us with regarding loss of perspective! And that's not a slight against all Americans, just an acknowledgement of how many goofballs and cranks there are over there (well, four to five times as many people.)
However, Ofcom would have us believe that, in the USA, "they do things differently there".
To which I would reply "It's only a different time-ZONE, darling, not a different period in history". And then they'd accuse me of being silly, I'd call them something very rude and it'd all become most unsavoury.
You just can't talk to some people.

Missing key events. Talking bollocks. Making stuff up.

So Ofcom in carrying out their investigation will just cut and paste their usual tripe about sexualised behaviour, not enough clothes worn, the wrong type of clothes, sexy music, tone of voice (presenter sounded asmatic#), adopting sex poses, suggestive smiling, licking of lips etc. Got to stop now as this is what we want to see, these ARE the expectations of persons viewing these channels not to see a fully clothed expressionless# presenter lying dormant for 8 hours with water music in the background, ffs.

#apologises to all persons suffering from this cronic condition and those who can't raise a smile.

Indeed and could I suggest a line of complaint that we can make to OFCOM about Nigala Lawson - namely that she handles food in an inappropriate fashion while using a tone of voice and eye contact with the camera in a suggestive manner.

I wouldn't expect the complaint to be unheld (I'd be appalled if it was!)
but it might give the dopes something to ponder.

I have written a strongly worded letter to Ofcom about her, complaining that in a few years she will look like her Father and that is an image i don't want in my head, never mind on my TV.

Latest complaints being investigated by Ofcom against the daytime shows. This could be the end of minimal c-thru clothing and tit tape if these broadcasters roll over like Elite.

Lets hope they come out fighting.

What a load of fuckin bulllshit these complaints are, exactly who the fuck is lodging all these complaints anyway. I think its ridiculous in the first place that these channels have to follow a watershed rule especially as they are in the adult epg section on sky and if anybody who doesn't like them doesn't know by now how to switch them off away from young eyes then they are a fuckin idiot. So a women flashs a tiitty by accident during the day so whats the big fuckin deal anyway, I don't understand how that can be deemed unacceptable I mean its not like shes down on all fours getting a right good fuckin rodgering now is it. As stated above if you don't like the adult channels then switch the fuckin things off and shut the fuck up and start to worry about real Issues such as how you're going to pay off your fucking bills. Rant over!!!!!!!

To me, these complaints are coming from rival channels, or the rare person who's on a moral highground who thinks that they can decide what the entire country can watch. The channels have a watershed, AND repeat warnings that the content is 18 rated, which is more than enough. The rare person who complains about these channels, is probably very similar to some of the people in charge at Offcom. Like I've said before, I respect the views of everyone, but that doesn't give them the right to decide what we can watch. They obviously have no problem with graphic violence being shown on TV, do they? Do the people who disagree with our views think that a nude female body is something to hide, or that it's something disgusting and obscene? I'd like to hear what their views are on a natural, normal body being shown on the adult channels after the watershed. Is a vagina really considered more than 18 rated? Really? That's basically telling the callers that they can engage is sexual dialogue with swear words, and see quite a bit of sexual content, but that they aren't old enough to see a normal body part like a vagina. Please, tell us, what is the right age to see a vagina on TV? This isn't about what we want to see to turn us on, this about the demonizing of a body part, which shouldn't happen, especially not on an adult channel, late at night. Sad.
