Babecast/Babestation - ITC to investigate

Because some miserable bastard prude has complained I have just read that the ITC are investigating the new interactive shows on FTA 223/268.
These are shown after 11pm at night yet some female orifice has decided to be offended.

I know TVX/TAC are less explicit after some saddo subscribed and then said they were offended. What are they looking for, Mills & Boon?

Unfortunately those two are on the regular Sky system and what you see isn't much softer than the adult channels you pay for, so any kid can access them.

Also Babe Station is on the Games Channel which is aimed at kids.. So why are you so surprised that complaints have been made. I wondered how long it would take before something happened.. well it has !

This kind of thing really gets my goat!

1. If you see something you don't like ... don't watch it. In fact never go to that station ever again, thereby avoiding the possibility you are offended by what is shown. Simple ... its up to you ... your responsibility not to look

2. 'Kids' should be in bed well before this type of thing is shown... again... its the responsibility of the parent to monitor and block this....

But oh no .... get it off the tv....those who would be offende by it will not run the risk of being offended in future as it will not be available..... Absoloutely ridiculous and stupid!

If the bosses at Babestation/FreesexTV have half decent legal representation they ought to point out to the ITC that they are a bunch of hypocritical tossers.
For several years The ITC have allowed Eurotrash to show cock and pussy at 10 in the evening to audiences as high as 1 million.
They have therefore set a benchmark over what is allowable and the type of flashing you occasionally see in these shows should not be a problem.
There is a ruling on the ITC website to the effect that they would not take action against a particular programme unless it could be shown that they had transmitted material stronger than that which had prevously been allowed.
Over the years I've seen everything on Eurotrash - and all the other similar type shows that it spawned - from intimate body piercings to babes having moulds made of their fannys. I even saw a guy being given a Prince Albert!
My sister does fashion at university and she reckons there's actually a lot more nudity on Fashion TV

Deloris mentioned on last nights Private Babe that the girls were aware that the show was causing controversy. She also said the girls were continually being given conflicting advice over how far they were allowed to go.
"sometimes we're given rules that we must abide by but sometimes these are relaxed"
"some nights we are getting e-mails through saying no you can't show that the next night they are saying yes you can!"
The confusion was perfectly summed up when Deloris - who at that stage was naked - showed her behind in a subtle manner. After the next ad break she said she had been told off and the panties had to stay on for the last half hour!
It was noticeable that Babestation were getting less texts than usual as there were several occasions when they ground to a halt.
Next door on Freesex they were clearly doing a lot better probably because they don't have ads.
Just to prove that Freesex are literally next door Deloris joined the Freesex babe for the last bit of her show.

The ITC may well be investigating freesextv as it is broadcast on friendly tv, but I very much doubt that they are checking out Babestation.

This is a quote from ITC viewer relations:

"I regret that as Game Network is not licensed by the ITC, we have no regulatory powers over it"

Anybody know what the rules are for Italian broadcasters?

Yet again some complete and utter arsehole has to stick his/her nose in where it's not wanted and will most probably spoil it for everyone else...why don't these people stick to watching the f*cking shopping channels or BBC1...like a previous message said , if you don't like it don't watch it...I personally find crap like "friends" offensive to my sense of humour but I don't write in and tell them to take it off air...do you think if hundreds of us all wrote into the ITC commending this channel they'd leave it alone and give us even more...I doubt it but one or two letters of complaint and it'll probably get taken off...I've seen the channel and to be honest it isn't that offensive...the texts are censored and what nudity there is is in the top quarter of the screen and it's mainly just topless with the odd glimpse of lower nudity...these people who complain are so stuffy about sex it's a wonder they ever managed to have kids in the first place!...well ,glad I got that off my chest...just gonna go and switch over to channel 268.

How would you perverts like it if Tennis took over your stupid adult channels? You'd be crying like babies! I don't have a problem with Friendley TV cos it's another channel with various things, but having soft porn on a games channel? Man that's fucked. I know this will get deleted by those wanker mods cos they suck but I'm telling ya what it feels like being(or I was) a fan of Game Network. I hope they just move the show to another shitty channel. GOOD DAY!
