Slightly o/t about Playboy tv

[Joe A]

Recently a few of us had a go at this company for not following up their emails etc. with us.

I would like to say that today I had a meeting with Jeremy Yates and I hope that it will turn out to be very productive in the new year.. So thanks Jeremy and here's to an Indian series on your Spice channel.

God that reads like Neville Chamberlain and the little piece of paper that Herr Hiltler signed..LOL Also I have to stick up for our adult channels over here as unfortunately they are governed in a totally different way by the ITC compared to the BBFC and film companies. So guys stop moaning about the content on any of the channels being too soft.. It's all they're allowed to show.

Under the Human Rights Act censorship should be justified by harm
and the ITC can't seem to do that


Strange how a producer likes to defend the status quo...

[joe king]

just to clarify - you are talking bull about the ITC

[buttsie]

Its not the fact that the channels are softcore compared to videos.

Its that they are selling memberships under the pretence of hardcore if you read the previous thread Television-X

Slick selling techniques might make you dollars in the short term but in the long term it will be fatal I'm thinking
The worst kind of publicity you can ever get is bad comments via word of mouth

Satellite TV channels and their employees have no desire to rock the boat and be bolshie to ITC or Government - who are the final arbiters in deciding what can and what cannot be shown. No, they just want a quite easy life to MAKE MONEY. That is the most important thing to them. They are not concerned with issues of censorship and the principles of free speech. They don?t get angry and feel a rabid desire to punch someone?s windpipe in when they are told, like children, or the feebleminded, what they can and cannot watch. They can't really understand all that nonsense - Who cares as long as the subscriptions keep rolling in?

I don't blame them, the only thing they are possibly doing wrong is being, like so many more of us - supine and complicit. But hey, t'fuck with putting your wonga their way, spend it with true porno freedom fighters. The small video producers and retailers that have the balls to say "Fuck that. We'll watch whatever we want, when we want, where we want thank you very much!" If it wasn't for those guys sticking their fingers up to arrogant, hypocritical, poncy cunts in the establishment and government there might not even be an R18 option today.

Well said, It all boils down to money. Money talks, so the only way to change "the establishment" mindset is to hit em where it hurts, in the pocket. As Dibble suggests, spend your cash to support the small video producers and retailers who provide punters with the "real thing" Leave the overpriced, overhyped, overblown, mis-represented, pap! well alone. As soon as subscription levels begin to fall a rapid change in marketing policy will follow! Mind you, that will just signal more focussed, devious & underhand tactics to part you from your hard earned money!

[Frank]

Those small people supplying 'the real thing' are probably doing so illegally. If too successful and get noticed the strong arm of the law will come down on them.

That has happened recently at no-boundariesvideos for example.

Yes TAC are out to make money and I am sure they know that the stronger their output the more subscribers they will get. But if they push too far they are put out of business. Its a delicate balancing act and I for one have been surprised at some of the, albeit brief, shots that they have been getting away with recently.

If you want hard core its easily available elsewhere but if you like pretty english girls in hard core action broadcast in soft core shots then subscribe to TAC.

'If you want hard core its easily available elsewhere but if you like pretty english girls in hard core action broadcast in soft core shots then subscribe to TAC.'

Now why don't they sell it like that? Hyperbole as a selling tool is questionable in any campaign.

'EXCLUSIVE- BRIT BABE NIGHT
We bring you the hottest, wettest and horniest British Babes around. Featuring Carrie-Lee having virtual sex!This fantastic fuck-filled night will take your fantasies to the extreme as we meet lots of minxes who love doing it!
'

Virtual sex! you mean no sex!

[buttsie]

To me the misuse of the word 'Sex' in these softcore productions is outrageous really

If there is no 'real' penetration then they should only be allowed to say 'Simulated Sex'.

The people who right this nonsense probably also write for Playboy British Model Videos where the word 'Sex' is used in vids that have no sex of anykind and at best can be described as erotic posing

Like any product you buy
You need to ask in depth questions to get to the truth

If you asked is there hardcore and the reply is yes
your next question should be,

Whats your definition of hardcore? or
By hardcore do you mean visible penetration?

To be able to say they offer hardcore but in softcore shots
is unbelievable really.

So i say to the people who feel they have been deceived
Complain,complain,complain
Not just one letter or email....try hundreds...he who creates a stink usually gets results

Why not just don't watch it then???? Talk about petty. If you want hardcore then go out and spend proper money on videos or DVD's. It is not down to TAC. It is down to the ITC, get on to them for god sakes. As previouisly stated before on this board, you can't even buy a newspaper for what you pay for TAC/TVX. Get a life and stop pulling apart shows that if they were allowed to would show a lot more than virtual sex. You consider yourselves experts, well it seems to me like the'experts' cant be that clever if they expect anything more than 'soft porn'.

Anyways, i'm off to virtually do something virtually rude to my very own virtual Carri Lee's virtual tits!!!!!!!
