It was Ofcom but they probably would not have gone ahead without the nod from Government. It has been on the cards for years and was raised as an possibility when the Euro Television Without Frontiers rules were brought in. Basically its sloppy reporting by the Gruaniad. If it was a TV show any viewer would be entitled to submit a complaint and Ofcom would take 6 months to investigate Privacy & Fairness issues wasting £1000s in the process.

Hey Eccles I would love to no how much money Ofcom are wasting in these investigations? and I'm wondering, does the government no about this? Considering we're living in harsh economic times, with the government cutting everything they can get there hands on, I wonder if Mr Cameron know's what's being spent only a mile or 2 up the river Thames? Plus how much Rent it's costing the taxpayer to keep those beaurocratic out of date idiots in there plush offices in London?

.........its almost like only 320ish people care

Well the day all these channels disappear completely from the rador is getting close because 908, 949 and 952 have been revoked by Ofcom for reasons which still remain unclear and if we have all the fanboys mourning for the loss of the channels they will look back on this missed opportunity only it'll be too late, up to 322 now with Rabbit size cages on 325 still above this petition, going by the stats provided by Admin it's a fucking scandal that we have such a lowly figure. This petition is like hitting your head off a brick wall, it's a fucking joke which isn't funny, all I can say to the majority on this forum is thanks for nothing as the figures just don't add up. This is the link to a far more important petition and just like in football the league doesn't lie. Have a look at this and ask yourself, have I done my bit to help if this is what is above our one and is an example of many other bullshit petitions that seemingly hold greater importance that our one does. http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/1063

The only thing that makes this a 'bullshit petition' is that its not something you feel strongly enough about. to 325 people (at the moment) this is an important issue. Who is to determine what the public see as an important petition? what makes yours any more important than this one? At the end of the day there are not as many people interested in the choice of porn on tv as you thought.

Marco I didn't quite get your point and you obviously missed mine, Admin sent 31,893 messages to forum members but yet we only have 322 signatures, yes I'm sure that rabbit size cages hold some importance to people but it is in no way as important as our petition, I've yet to see a phone in show where they discuss and debate the size of rabbit cages but our babe channels are discussed and are on the telly so on the face of it, the stats should be way higher than the afore mentioned. I'm asking forum members who haven't signed to get their finger out and show they give a fuck and that is what my rallying call is all about. PS - Just for the record I don't give a fuck about the size of rabbit cages!!!!!!! so long as the bastards fit in it I care about PUSSY however

The fact that they haven't shows that they don't.

Thanks for not voting for a push that might set in train a course of action that would seriously impinge upon and maybe even wipe out completely the sort of soft content shows you currently get to enjoy? For not voting for something that might lead to dildos being rubbed on pussies in close up forever, and never no more no medium distance top-to-toe camera pans? No more skilfully teasing deportment and suggestion, just twenty-odd channels of monotonous thrust-o-rama? You're welcome! Softcore fans or foot guys aren't a lot of dickless vicars. They have the same end in mind as you, SB, they just need different means to get there. That means is currently being provided. Why would they want to risk having that substantially altered? If the shoe was on the other foot, you and Stan wouldn't give two cacks about a movement to get milder material introduced.

Addison I think you'll find your opinions are in the minority and the reason myself and the other 321 including Stan who signed the petition is because we do give a fuck about the babe channels contrary to your stance on it. Fanboys such as yourself are easily pleased then and ignorant of the fact that for all the softcore shows that currently exist that Ofcom could and can revoke their licence at any moment and when that becomes the case you too will be asking yourself why you never signed the petition. You should seriously consider thinking through what you write in future before you post them because it was neither sensible or analytical, more just a reflection of somebody who is clearly ignorant and of the fact that they cannot see past the cracks.
