Anyone can sexualise anything on television if they look hard enough for stuff that isn't there...

This blog post by Simon Howard (registered on these forums as Tilly O'Shea) shows how easy it is to take anything as a double-entendre.

I remember the young ones back in the 80's used a load of racist terms for black people on a number of occaisons (poking fun at police racism and brutality). I bought the dvds late last year and they still contain the words, no bleeps or dubbing.

Mary Whitehouse once complained of being "palmed off" by the Director General of the BBC, so even she wasn't adverse to a cheap gag Wink

I'm pretty confident that continuity during idents will be a thing of the past by 2027. It wouldn't surprise me if they weren't scrapped in the next few years.

As for sex ed videos in school, I remember the one we were shown in school in the mid-to-late nineties was a really eighties looking one that the school must of dug up just so we could see a bit of human flesh!(AFAIK it's generally cartoon nudity these days!) It had a young girl and boy getting a bath but no-one in the class were particularly giggly about it because they were both so young. One bit that did make everyone laugh was this family were this naked five year old girl ran into her parents' room to wake her equally naked parents, and they continued their lives naked-ly! Everyone couldn't beleive what they were seeing! Very Happy

In that case act now and sack the marketing men...

I was in primary school a good few years ago now, and we were shown cartoons - which showed the men and women doing their business under the covers. And the school doctor told us to 'watch for the duck'.

I remember being in secondary school, well over 10 years ago now, and they showed a boy floating in a pool. It was explaining the different forces exerted on a floating body. When it came to upthrust it was shown pointing up from an "odd" place...
