Capital Summertime Ball 2024

[Part Time Dave]

We're just a sad sensitive nation these days. Who needs weapons of mass destruction when we all get upset when an 'F' Bomb is dropped.

In a few years, the "F" bomb will seem harmless.. the "c" word the only real swear word left isn't it?

[KingTutsWWH]

In Spain both the F (or rather J) word and the C word appear to be acceptable to use on daytime telly. Swearing doesn't bother me personally that much, I tend not to do it very often myself; mainly because I save it for when I am seriously p*ssed off - it has so much more effect.

I do think it's best not to subject children to lots of it though, as I get pretty upset when I hear kids swearing.

But then again children are going to do it more when they know they are not supposed to do it.

I rememeber when my cousin was about two, she just suddenly said in a very calm voice, more to herself than to anyone else "Fuck, my jellies got stuck together". Followed by silence from the whole family for about 5 minutes... You just never know how to react It was pretty funny though.

It's good to see the contract between the way the guardian wrote it to make it sound like scott mills was completely in the wrong and the other people reporting make it sound like a stupid complaint.

[Chippy]

It is widely know that Scott and the team spend their time writing letters to OFCOM complaining about rival radio shows.

FACT.

[slovakian tony]

Cant believe this feature has been removed what as$ complained about a feature that has no swearing (albeit imaginatively implied) and it is upheld ffs.

Get a life offcom !! is it run by namby pamby people knitting jumpers for relatives ?

Yes, and it's other members of the knitting circle that call in to complain.

To be honest, as a parent, (as mentioned in another post, I'm getting on a bit) I don't really want my kids (5 and 2.5) repeating "crap", "bloody", "ass" as they hear on Moyles. That's why I don't have Radio 1 on when they are around, it hasn't driven me to call Offcom, but I don't think Radio 1 should *really* broadcast such words..

[Rik]

I'm missing BBTV now. Maybe we could start an UM version all of our own!

By the way its OFCOM (with one 'F'). Obviously you have never complained to them

Yeah but bloody moyles is a right over-rated piece of crap. He needs to get his ass into gear before he is replaced by Sam the internet guy

[SarahJayne.]

I miss Badly bleeped Tv.

[Guest CancerForTheCure]

They'd better not go anywhere near Oh What's Occurring or... I'll be very unhappy

[SarahJayne.]

Me tooo.

I love oh, whats occuring!

That is basically what the scott mills show is about.. well, and Scott obv.

That feature has bought about the BEST quote ever in the whole of the entire history of the world and beyond;

"A horse for one bin"

[Nik B.]

I love the way they seem to slip "a horse for one bin" in on nearly every show, it's brilliant and so funny!

[Rob]

Whenever they do, I'm weeping within seconds. Those few words togther must be the best combination of words ever

[equalsabracket]

Badly bleeped TV being removed is the most rubbish ever. Did he talk about it on the show? I listen to the podcast? It's ridiculous, it is clearly not in the wrong at all. The BBC should have some balls and stick up for it rather than give in and go "Yes, sorry about that. Mistake. We'll correct it. Sorry about that." despite it not even being slightly in the wrong.

Yeh talk about stifling creativity.

[xrose-budx]

i love this feature! its a bit sad that someone has complained. ! people like that need something to do with their lives.

[Mr X]

As a Spaniard I noticed this lol, for example, before Spain got knocked out of Euro 2004, Juanito said "Si no ganamos estamos jodidos" (if we dont win we're f*cked) and it was played on daytime TV.

[Grace Wakes]

All I have got to say its I hate Ofcom with a firey passion along with the ASA and the complete arses who complain to it!

Eventually we wont have any 'lighthearted' entertainment because of these morons! At the end of the day, you can never please 100 per cent of people and if they dont like it, they know where they can go!!!

Ay up thats got me all feisty now :evil:

Bring it back!

[Jugalug]

Why do you hate the ASA? They have sensible rules like, for example, not having stupidly oversized sofas in adverts as it is lying.
