BT have bought rights to football, where racism, sexism, homophobia and violence are rife, despite what apologists try to have us believe. But that's fine. And thats just the UK. In Europe, football is too often associated with far right fascism.
The other bit I don't get is how come its fine for my kids to be encouraged to watch the news, which is often horrific, and real.
This has nothing what so ever to do with protecting kids and so on. This current UK government is driving more and more kids further below the poverty line, and that far far more negative consequences than kids seeing naked bodies and sex.

- likeclockwork 13y agoDoesn't censoring stuff like this rather than broadcasting intact along with disapproving commentary actually work against any positive social change taking place? I mean that's creating a venue where mobs of people can be as openy racist / homophobic / etc as they want and it will be quietly hushed up. Sweeping the truth under the rug doesn't solve anything, it just festers in the dark.
