Babecast/Babestation - ITC to investigate

[Jeff Buckley]

Hopefully the ITC will take it off air in order to make way for something more erotic/interesting than afew bored models chatting away like they are in a hairdressers whilst a limited number of guys text in once or twice until they calm down and realise how much it just cost them to ask a girl to show her foot on TV.

[ten-ten]

So let me get this right, you would get rid of Babestation and replace it with more games footage of violence, death and dismemberment.

Hmm think I know what I'd prefer my kids to be sneeking a quick peek at!

[The Healer]

After watching the last 2 nights I notice the girls are showing much less. Also on 989 there was no preview show last night and the night before both girls wore long, baggy t-shirts all the way thru.

It seems the censorious bastards win again.

What gets me is the news channels can show dead bodies covered in blood, give explicit accounts of sex crimes etc but a program showing tits at 11pm is deemed unfit.

Be honest, how many Sky viewers have even tuned into 223/268?

Also I noticed on Monday night one of the Sky Movies Plus went straight from previews to explicit banging at 22.01!

If you get Canal+, RTL etc there are large amounts of nudity available at all sorts of times.

I wonder if we will now see the likes of Loaded, Maxim etc censored or moved to the top shelf. I reckon the average loaded reader is about 15-16.

Strange isn't it, a 16 year old couple can shag each other stupid but can't watch a great film like Alien, Goodfellas or The Shining 'til they are 18.......

You're absolutely right, Healer. It's stupid that you can legally have sex BEFORE you can legally see it. The government and the ITC are absolute hypocrites - we're supposed to be living in a democratic country that is based on freedom of choice and expression and self-determination but they are increasingly curbing people's liberties to express themselves. Some sense those arseholes make.

If Babestation are in toruble, it could be down to danni, who I have seen finger herself (include the arse), insert a banana and do her 'arse trick' which was pretty full on. She got told off for that

Its weird, because when it started off you were lucky if you got a flash of tit right at the end, but it has got steadily harder, and now with the promotion the Sport has given it, and by having presenters like Rebecca Simthe and Laura Whitehouse, you raise expectations to the point where not showing pussy just disappoints people and they will turn off. And if you can't show pussy, it's difficult to see it surviving

[cammy]

Agree with you to a certain extent about Danni. However I feel the director who allowed her to go as far as that was far more to blame.
Appart from Sammi on her debut it is fair to say that Danni is the only babe who is happy to show her bits and has done so on several occasions.
That was until Freesex started and Rebecca Smyth/Jane Whitehouse did a show on Sunday which contained numerous pussy flashes.
To be fair it was just flashing and you'd have had to been watching a video playback to get a proper look.
Have to agree with Doug's posting about the ITC already allowing far stronger material to be shown much earlier in the evening to far bigger audiences so if they are under investigation let's hope Babestation have a lawyer with half a brain who can show them for the hypocrites they are.

[brian]

Saw Freesex last night and it really was incredibly tame in comparison to the Sunday show which I also saw so they have obviously been told to tame it down
Ater being quite happy to flash her pussy on Sunday,Rebecca Smyth showed absolutely nothing last night appart from the odd boob flash.
Bearing in mind it's a four hour show with no ad breaks they were still getting a constant stream of texts so the softening of the programme does not seem to be affecting that.
Peoples disappointment at the neutering of these shows is probably tempered by the fact that hardcore is freely available on the net 24hours a day so perhaps Babestation/Freesex will survive.

[jim]

if they are being investigated then they will tone it down, but I don't think they can necessarily sustain it unless they do get a little stronger. Babestation from its conception has been getting steadily stronger, and unless you give the punters what they want, they will eventually go elsewhere. FreeSex's prpblem is that they have started with a fanfare of publicity, while Babestation crept into existence

BTW, does anyone know of pciture hordes of the Babestation girls on the net, harder ones I mean> Rebecca, Danni, Deloris and anyone else?

For those who don't like the ITC, join the campaign against censorship on TV (contact censorfreetv@hotmail.com for details).

Btw The communications Act recieved Royal ascent today so it won't be long before Ofcom start their public consultation (and the brick bats start flying).

[peachesNcream]

I've seen these shows occasionally and although slightly titilating, the only thing that intrigues me is the kind of sad people who text in and pay extortionate amounts just to have some, let's be frank, generally average girls read them out and ultimately ignore their request. The fact that some people watch them for more than 5 minutes in the sad hope of a flash of pussy or boob is a sad reflection on how censorship has turned us all into giggling schoolboys. If I was that desperate to see some pussy, I'd buy a jazz mag, switch on the net, watch a dvd, or heaven forbid, go to bed with my girlfriend, all ultimately more fulfilling than wasting 3 hours of my life waiting for a flash of fanny.....*giggle*. Now, if these shows were shown in a more sexually advanced society we'd have what we really wanted wouldn't we?
