"in a forum where things like teen sex, bukkake and Essex pub orgies are enthused about"


You'll certainly not catch me enthusing about such carry-ons.

Rude Boy,

I feel that magazines like FHM and Maxim are really soft core titles for people who can't bring themselves to buy porn. These magazines claim their articles and photoshoots are art or features when in fact they are glorified T & A magazines.

Recently, one magazine published a compilation photospread of a leading UK actress movie after she made a comment about not refusing to do a nude photoshoot as she thought it was inappropriate. Now that's classy journalism...... not!

Anyone can buy these without being asked "do you need a bag?", a sympathic look or smirk from cashiers... which you still get at some newsagents.

Films & TV shows like Jackass and Dirty Sanchez include things which if shown in a porn film might have the BBFC and some newspapers up in arms. Yet Channel Four and MTV happily show these or sell them via Virgin, HMV and other shops with small warnings.

If a mainstream film dares to show realistic sex, such as Michael Winterbottom's forthcoming new film, it get headlines like "the most disgusting UK movie ever made".

Pretending that these magazines & films are something they are not and the general double standards really offends me and I think offends others here.

It seems there is not one rule for everything as some segments of the entertainment market.

Well, that's my opinion anyway.
