Why the hell do people who watch Adult channels complain about nudity?!
Theres not enough of it IMO!
The ASA has ruled that an ad for a smutty premium rate phone service breached taste guidelines after it was broadcast on a sex channel at 6.40am. The ASA recounts that the ad on the Tease Me 2 channel featured mock documentary footage titled The Bare Tits Project, and stated "In 2009 4 students went out to make a naughty …
"I would expect the person was flipping through channels rather than naively watching an adult channel."
He was just flipping through the channels and hadn't noticed he was in the adult section after the 36th grot channel? channels 900 - 966 are all adult, 948 is in the middle and there are 36 channels before it to flick through.
So some sad bloke sat up (or woke up) at some ungodly hour of the day flicked on his sky / virgin media box and blame saw a gob load of tits on screen then found it to be tasteless.... Personally I think the person in question needs shooting...
I am starting the movement of MORE TITS FOR BRITAIN! (unless you could our current government!).
whos with me!
Yes I know that if the worst thing your child happens across is a naked body then you really have nothing to worry about, and that said channels can usually be locked in some fashion, but from the regulators point of view they do have to assume a worst case scenario (Daily Mail headline style).
I'm not saying it's right, but that's the way it is.
Rather than ASA adjuduications, you want to be reading the Ofcom Broadcast Bulletins.. The various Tease Me channels have featured in almost every one recently due to excessive rudeness in the programmes - I'm hardly surprised that the ads are getting in trouble too. (And if anybody wants some almost-SFW free titillation, the bulletins go into graphic detail about what was being said and done one-screen - if you boss complains, you can say "hey look, it's an official Ofcom document!"...)
