The sex education show vs pornography C4

I caught a few minute of this trash while channel hopping.

It's right up there with the programmes aired last year - Shock Horror Meat Is Animals And We Have To Kill And Butcher Them Before It Can Be Out In Supermarket Plastic Wrapping.

Back to the porn thing though.

First what is the point of lobbying UK businesses and UK government - the internet is world wide and most porn sites are not British.

Second it IS a good thing to make UK parents aware of how easy internet access to porn can be - as if most of them don't know already :)

Third why give those purple shirted morons a free plug on national TV for a half assed joke of a PR scheme.

Fourth - wonder what reaction they expected after showing a group of older teenagers a group of naked women maybe twice their age, and possibly old enough to be their mothers, women who are a bit flabby and unfit and have had children?

Fifth - big point they made - porn is fashioning young people's expectation about each other's bodies. Shock Horror. As if the media didn't control their expectations about food, clothes, consumer gadgets, lifestyle and practically every other aspect of their lives. So what is the big deal. As a teenager you go with the fashion or face social exclusion.

Yes - read and corrected the post after submitting it as I always do - you caught me out quickly there though :p
 
Few things:

The whole point of the show was to protect children from something they didn't want to see.

So what was their advertising campaign? A bus with an 11 year old girl looking at an 8" ***** on it. It's actually more veiled online than it is on the side of a bus!

Adult filters. They asked PC World. They asked Sony. Did they ask Microsoft? You know.. The people who wrote the operating system you're complaining about?!?!

Parenting fail tbh.

I fought that. No idea why they asked PC World, they just sell computers... All there going to say is buy a computer and we will throw in some content blocking program or something. Why they didnt ask Microsoft or BT, o2, virgin or any of the ISP which can actually do something about it is beyond me.

Also why is it a big deal anyways? If you dont think your child is old enough to view porn dont let them surfs the interwebz. Or if you do, make sure you are supervising them. Yeah, when they get early teens there going to get curious but if you stop them doing it through one medium... there find another way.
 
Was watching this with the GF, couldnt believe the part with the dodgey looking breasts, I mean they must have picked the worst looking ones out of a line up of 100. To prove this I had to ask my GF for me to compare to those :P

Was terrible, had to laugh at the going to the computer retailers rather than the microsoft.

Found it hilarious when they got the parents to watch the pron and the guys were blatently trying to looked shocked, when in fact each of them had massive grins on there face whilst they sat watching!

They will ask the ISP next week I think. Regardless, it's the parent's responsibility to make sure they don't do things like that.

One parent said "What if they go to their friend's house".

If they're watching porn round their mate's place, talk to their parents, because they're not doing their job either!

Spot on my friend.
 
I felt that as soon as the child porn comments were made it was clear the program was not going to provide a balanced opinion on sex education and porn on the internet, but instead be a week long discussion about how the internet is bad for you.
 
contrived nonsense.

the within 2 minutes i bumped into a paedo's website.

ive been using the interwebs for nearly 20 years and never accidentally bumped into this stuff.

and im pretty sure ive been on my fair share of pr0n sites.

maybe im lucky or have a limited internet experience but i dont thinks so.
