Proof that these people really are morons if they are complaining about sex, in a programme that has "SEX" in the title. Absolutely morons.

As for the rest, religious offence, huh? Dangerous behaviour on the news, god forbid we ever report the news accurately, the BBC London Radio complaint is ludicrous & dangerous behaviour on the Schweppes ads, nothing bloody moved in those ads anyway, except for the odd hand.

They're on form as ever I see Laughing

Sex/Nudity on The Adult Channel.

I wonder if some people are complaining as a laugh so they get to read Ofcom's formal descriptions of the offensive material, in the bulletin a few months later! Laughing

This was the first episode of the series which featured Joe Swash. In one scene he sabotaged the other team's efforts by chasing their birds away. Thats the only thing I can think this might be about.


Sex/Nudity on Channel 4 News.


I think this might have been when Jon Snow got his bum out.

I think its more likely to be rival adult channels complaining as they would know the wacky Ofcom regulations regarding Adult channels better than anyone.

The bulletins really are dominated by the adult channels and asian channels thesedays, you have to get to page 33 before you can find out about something mainstream like someone swearing on BBC1!

A lot of these channels sound like cowboys, saying that the recording equipment was stolen just before Ofcom ask for recordings!
