Sex/Nudity on Sarah Cox show on Radio 1,


Don't tell me, Coxy did a striptease on the webcam? Rolling Eyes
Maybe they think her surname is inappropriate! Very Happy


I fail to see what apples have to do with sex and/or nudity.

I seem to remember someone doing an interview with her nude and she was inviting people to take a look on the webcam. Maybe this is what the complaint is about?

My favourite Ofcom document from their website is from a couple of years ago and the best bits are from page 13/14 onwards If you are young and not old enough to look at big words then please look away lol

hahaha, oh wow.

Remember when Charlie Brooker joked how strange it was hearing 'rude' lines from Mock the Week being read out in a calm and monotone way, read that in the same 'newsreader quotation' way.

Ahh yes, Emily Matlis telling the Director General THAT Frankie Boyle joke about the Queen. I won't go on, but it's on YouTube somewhere.

Offensive language in Nick JR2's "The Fairies".
Jeff Randall's trailer on Sky News is apparently misleading.

The explanation of how the 'RIDE' telephone voting system works is interesting. The phone network directs the call according to the first 8 digits and then the last 3 provide the vote inside the system. So there's no 'x vote number is engaged so we can't vote for them' excuse

I see someone has complained about animal welfare in the Monster.com American Idol sponsorship which can only be about the way the woman holding the dog upside down. I bet whoever the complained didn't actually care about the animal and was just looking for an excuse to get these horrid adverts off our screens.
