Jimmy Savile - Sexual Predator

[JamieH]

Oh come on. It wasn't like it was Hitler Grandard Tweenie.

Shhh, you should be expecting the BBC to be going back through every program in it's archives and getting out the censoring shears to remove any mention of, or oblique reference to JS in any program they've ever made/shown.

At the same time they should be going through Dad's Army and editing out all reference to the Germans.

Well said that man.

 

[olivier renault]

They broacasted a repeat. They deserve all the Daily Mail hate coming their way.

Jimmy would be spinning in his grave right now, if his heart wasn't staked to the coffin.

Have we sunk to this level of 'petty' now?

So people think there's nothing wrong with the BBC showing a children's program that idolises a paedophile?

No, but some people do realise mistakes happen... And showing a 12yr old episode of the Tweenies which has a small section with a J.S. spoof in, is hardly a huge mistake worthy of lots of pitch forking!

There is nothing with the BBC making a slip up of running a repeat of a decade old show that happens to contain a scene spoofing Jimmy Saville. They've apologised, the end. Odds are that the majority of the viewership of the show have no idea who he is anyway.

Yes mistakes happen, the BBC apologised and there was no pitchforking - but people here seem to be making a big deal that it isn't actually an issue!

Mistake my butt. BBC having a good old chuckle.

Almost like they are rape apologists or some other term made up specifically to troll...

They are the pitch forkee's I was referring to

Tweenies is front page news on some of today's news papers! Unbelievable drivel!

Do you really think any of the Tweenies core audience even know who he was let alone his crimes?

The only people who would have even picked up on it would be the adults.

It's funny isn't it. These days people seem to have a lot of time on their hands to write to complain. I wish I had as much time as some people, to be that offended all the time.

Can i ask an honest question to the MOD's?

Could you please tell me why I got a ban for comparing Jimmy Savile to Warz and got banned when there are FAR FAR worse jokes about him here?

 

[HummuH1]

Pages 3 & 4 of this thread make quite interesting reading.

I had no idea these accusations were around long before he died.

Never forget the amount of rape apologists and women hating mens rights activists are on this forum. There are some people here who will genuinely believe that prosecuting rapists is unfair in some ways because it wasn't real rape as the victims could have said "no" to Saville or some nonsense, there are also others who hate women and want to project the idea that all women make up rapes to hurt men.

I have also noticed this over the years, some very unsavory individuals frequent these forums unfortunately

The Tweenies issue seems to be yet just another example of the modern style of hysterical, over-reactionary parenting.

And the scary thing is the way the media/tabloid are needlessly fanning it!

It will sell papers no doubt.

Anyway i hate the Tweenies so hopefully it will get taken off TV.
