Jackass

I was watching jackass last night and thinking how is it ok to show someone being shot and shocked by a tazer gun and ripping the hooks out of his skin with pliers, but a strap on dildo has to be blurred out in the same show. We've got our priorities all fucked up...

"Welcome to our world" where its obscene to show a plastic cock on TV, but its ok to have a show on C4 making a joke about nonces.
Produced by Talkback productions, they should be ashamed of themselves...but they will claim its art. Art my large ass.

Talkback are on the cutting edge of pushing the boundries as far as I'm concerned. They've produced stuff far worse then 'Jackass', and I think you'll find that blurring a strap on cock is due to Channel 4 or possibly MTV rather then them.

I remember in the paedophilia Brass Eye programme, showing a clip of a child's doll, with tears coming out of her eyes staring at a huge dildo, which shows how far they'll go.

'I remember in the paedophilia Brass Eye programme, showing a clip of a child's doll, with tears coming out of her eyes staring at a huge dildo, which shows how far they'll go.'

the point of that section was to say 'what is indecent?' the expert (former obscene squad officer I think) seemed to be all over the place, so a girls under 18 head on an older naked body was okay, but then if you did something else it became an 'indecent' image. Why trust his opinion? Why make someone go to jail just because of his opinion?

Fuckin hell Phil, do you read the Daily Mail or what? It wasn't jokes about nonces, it was jokes about the media taking the moral high ground on paedophilia while squeezing the issue for lurid detail and "sexy" pictures of kids, just to get readers, and about them whipping up the poor bastards in Paulsgrove and South Wales into such a mad frenzy they attack paedeatricians cos they think it's the same thing ("Tonight, a Peter Fyle was attacked and killed in his car, but if your name was Fyle, would you call your son Peter? No! Heh heh heh").

Don't believe all the bollocks - it's coming from the same twats who'd run full-page articles on how porn is evil and people like you should be locked up, just so they could run a big colour picture of Violet.
