Is it just me or does chris moyles continually cross the line with language. I heard him describe carrie as "droopies" this morning. He constantly goes on about old lady boobs down by their ankles.

I am not highly moralistic and do not consider myself politically correct. But there are just some things that you do not say. I just find him offensive.

Don't get me wrong - I find him really funny. But just sometimes he just crosses the line

I have only started to be a regular radio 1 listener recently. Has he always acted like this. Or has he steadily got worse as his position has become more secure. They call him the saviour at radio One. So does he get special treatment.

Is it just me who thinks he is bad?

I just think that at that time in the morning their should be some standards. Extreme sexist attitudes should be discouraged. I know its difficult to know where any line should be drawn but I think he just keeps pushing it back and back.

:evil:

I am not talking about words like pillock. I have heard much worse. Pillocks not even language to me.

Actually talking about language - radio One is banned from Using the F word even after ten oclock. I don't know what thats all about. Colin murray is constantly having to apologise for swearing in songs. Its all a bit silly.

Its not really the language that I am talking about. Its just the extreme sexist attitude. Calling his own on air team "droppies" and "slaphead" is just offensive.

Mind you I have just read chrismoyles.net home page and it says that he acted badly in his first year at radio one.

Its difficult to know what I am saying because I don't care about offensive language. It doesn't offend me. Its difficult to know how to classify really offensive attitudes. It just seems that as long as he stays clear of race then he is OK. They let him do what he wants

Maybe

But Dom says he doesn't like being called slaphead. Carrie was also really angry as been called "droppies".

He is funny he is liked despite his offensive attitudes not because of them. I won't stop listening to the show because its so good. He does have his darker nastier side though.

That would be M-o-y-e-s, as in David Moyes, Everton manager. I agree with Kelly, it's just banter between friends. Also, it's a tactical tool to provoke listeners to text in. I assume you have banter-esque names for your friends?

I think that Moyles brand of sexism is a lot more prevalant than it was 20 or 30 years ago when womens rights were really strident.

And im not sure how I feel about it. I think it is offensive for Moyles to think a trailer for his show discussing a member of his teams breasts is appropriate..

but maybe as a one off throwaway joke...just about o.k.

What Im starting to find really annoying is how many images of half dresses photoshopped women there are in everyday life. In teenage projects, on phones etc.. being openly shown. As if it is normal for most women to go around dressed up as a sex object!

It's pretty mild compared to some of the workplaces I've worked in

You look into his use of language too much, and his behaviour is for the show, and in now way connected to how he is outside of the studio.

He'd be dull otherwise. If you've been listening to him on off for as many years as I have (10 years) then you'll appreciate that its just his on air persona.

Absolutely. His comments are ironic, made partly to provoke a reaction and also for comic effect.

In which case they should put CBBC on or Radio 2 if that's what they want. If people are easily offended like that they shouldn't be tuning in. I don't see why the show should change for those who don't like the style. Eight million are happy with it.

Surely it doesnt have to be rude or borderline offensive to be funny?

I generally listen to Moyles and think as a general rule he is entertaining, but sometimes he does say things that make me cringe... which I think detracts from the show rather than improves it.

But I spose as long as people are prepared to challenge some of the things hes says its ok.

      Summer on Radio 1

      By ianwilk1999 · Posted

      Yeah they make the weekend shifts go so much quicker. Like today, the piece about Matt falling asleep in the cafe was funny, it's clear to see why they're going to weekdays. It could well be they were thinking of Danny for it and like you say have decided against that, or like I said at the start it's James Cusack and the slow down on the announcement is him getting out of his contract. Remember he works for radio 1's main rivals. I think it's quite telling that he's doing more r1 cover than usual, tomorrow and then a further 3 weekend shows in a row

      I suspect they’re gonna tie the announcement into something, or they’ve changed plans. I know we’ve said it as a joke but I wonder if Aled was planning on giving it to someone like Danny Beard, but he’s decided against that after the last few weeks. Seems clear to me, though, that if Jordan hadn’t left, then Katie would’ve taken Dean and Vicky’s slot and Matt and Mollie would’ve stayed on weekends, which probably explains why they haven’t picked a replacement yet. If it was going to be the obvious choice, I.e. James Cusack, surely they would’ve announced it by now..?

      Yep think they mentioned that this is their penultimate weekend of shows but then they will also be on air during Big Weekend and they mentioned they'll be doing 'Party Anthems' on stage during Big Weekend which sounds intriguing. Will miss Matt & Mollie on weekends - they in particular have made that Friday afternoon slot their own - but they'll be great on weekdays. Do wonder if 'Summer on Radio 1' is just a placeholder name until they decide on who will cover the interim. While it's obviously not the case it does feel like they've forgotten there's that weekend afternoon slot to fill given no permenant presenter has been announced for it yet.

      And Arielle mentioned in her Instagram post that her final early breakfast show is the 27th of June - the Thursday before Glastonbury

      When Matt covered breakfast on 22nd April, he said their new show was starting in 10 weeks, so that’d be the 1st July.

      Would love for it to be like the Summer Friday Thing that me and @DC were remisincing about recently. Lots of events going on that could easily form part of it.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/summer/cardiff/thursday/1.shtml

      I'm guessing there is also a stack of weekend events like Glastonbury

      I think more likely it'll just be a temp presenter for weekends 1-4 to give Matt & Mollie time off, plus time to plan and pilot the new show.

      By Dan18F1 · Posted

      Yeah I don’t think they’ll be anything that drastic - maybe a week or 2 of cover on early breakfast etc, but maybe just having that weekend afternoon slot covered over the summer means they can put someone on from September who maybe isn’t available until then?

      I wouldn't be surprised if they do this around June time: 05.00 Ore Olukoga 07.00 Greg James 10.30 RMC 14.00 VKJ  That'll probably happen (for my guess) from the 17th June. And for weekends: 07:00 Sam & Danni 11:00 Gregor Davidson 15:00 Charlie Hedges Maybe Fridays aswell: 07:00 Greg James 11:00 Gregor Davidson 14:30 Jack Saunders
