This has got to be a first. I wonder if it will raise a stink.

Might be a first for Irish TV, but I guess it wouldn't be much different than what Five were offering 5 or 6 years ago would it?

Saying that Channel 6 isn't on Terrestrial in Ireland anyway, it's on Sky and Cable, where Porn is a ten a penny on the service.

Yes but that's from the dreadful English. This is from an Irish broadcaster.

Meh, that's old news.

SBS, the multicultural broadcaster, has been showing porn at 11.30pm for years (people say that SBS stands for 'sex and bloody soccer'..). Pretty much anything that comes under 'World Cinema' (typically Italian, German or French) is a bit of an eye opener.

Fun for the people who get to subtitle it..

I assume it's okay to show the porn, so long as they don't show contraception.

We're not talking about the UK or Australia but the Republic of Ireland. This is a new departure for an Irish broadcaster.

Try putting it in quote marks or italics if you are determined not to get lynched!

I'd say its more xenophobia than racism!

But even still, I think we can let that one go somehow.
