Responded to this last night but it obviously got hot a rouge byte... spent 20 minutes on it n'all!
Anyway, you will not be suprised to hear Paul that since Marjoury Proops moved on to cleaner airways the rules have soften.
Today, for a programme to ensure it's content is clean it works on a complaint model. The more complaints, the less likely they are to do it again... and since no-one complains because <i>why bother, nothing will be done about it</i>, then we get TV companies competing for the teeny dollar.
The reason I know?
Because a well know TV couple who have an afternoon show pushed one of my sensitivity buttons the other month.
They were interviewing a famous pop star who'd been caught with his pants down... again... and were joking and giggling with him about his antics in a public loo. This time in the UK.
The TV is normally on cartoon network so was suprised to see the show, never seen it before and will probably never bother again.
5pm on a school day and we have a pop star talking to two aging giddy tv presenters about stuff i'd rather not hear about anyway but certainly not in front of my kids.
Some might think i'm a prude... well i think i'm just a reasonably sane individual with a smigin of moral fibre... so they can, what's the term...
Anyway, no one from MSN has knocked on my door yet!
