Daily Mail moan about iPlayer make a mockery of watershed

How the BBC's iPlayer is making a mockery of the 9pm watershed by making explicit material available 24 hours a day | the Daily Mail

Really now, kids these days look at alot worse than the "explicit" content on the BBC, which BTW is 100x more timid than whats on the internet.

Still, the BBC are bound by the laws of this country while they continue to rip off the public with their TV tax.

If they want to show explicit stuff before 9 pm, then let them go self-funding.

This is a bit rich coming from the Daily Mail. The stuff that the tabloid press peddle - especially the Sun the News of the World (Page 3?) is far worse than what you get on the Beeb.

How about people take personal responsibility for once? Parents should be monitoring what their children do on the internet. It's not up to the BBC to do it for them. Besides, you can get far worse from a simple internet search than you get on the BBC Iplayer.

Talk about storm in a teacup.

Of course.
I was stating my opinion.

As for when I've read it, once in reality (once was quite enough!) and numerous times online.
And I don't believe that sixteen is too young to have read anything.

Sorry Akria (a genuine apology) but many years ago IT stood for International Times (an underground paper better then OZ) on the cover was supposed to be a picture of Clara Bow the original IT girl but they made an error and used Theda Bara and I wondered if someone had shown you a copy, if you dislike the Mail then you would have probably liked IT

International Times - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

and I've just found this makes great reading

international times

sideways through time is reference to the Hawkwind hit "Silver Machine"
