What a load of bullst. Daily Mail writers and readers are completely oblivious to the outside world. It takes seconds to put a filter on the internet for those who don't want their kids watching internet porn. But the way I see it, kids will always find a way to watch it. In my primary school days, it was the Porn Fairies leaving a copy of Razzle in the bushes, then as I got to high school and we all got video phones, there was always one guy with a selection of dirty videos and pictures (if you're reading this Lucas/Craig/Paul, I salute you guys!) who all the other kids went to. So long story short, the kids are gonna see it anyway, no matter what the Daily Fail does. What's next, a campaign to make all adults become celibate once they've become parents, in case Junior walks in on them at it?

The current Daily Wail website has:
1. "It's not me" Kim (who?) denies nude photo scandal on web" - with an FHM-style bikini shot
2. Long lens Pap shots of someone in a bikini on holiday
3. "Bottom-baring Alexandra Burke (who?) ignores....." - with shots of said short-shorts
4. "If you've got it flaunt it!" - swimsuit shots with Nicki Minaj (who?)
5. "Showing off Ora her curves" - long-lens Pap shots of someone in swimsuit
6. "Cut it out" - Eliza Doolittle (who?) reveals too much in a dress, more Pap shots
etc, etc.
If they want to get all puritan, they should probably keep their house in order.

Indeed. Wail online is effectively soft pron titillation for gimps.1. "It's not me" Kim (who?) denies nude photo scandal on web" - with an FHM-style bikini shot

Hypocrisy?
You didn't circle Susan Boyle. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6I5MZfQ5gEo
25 year old film of her singing in a pub. With a bag over her head, still a ten pinter, but that isn't a definite no.
There is an issue here. The notion that finding a copy of Mayfair in the park in 1985 is anything like the ease at which young people can see thousands of extreme images anytime of day in their bedroom is crazy. And the idea that parents shold be trusted to lock down those pc's is equally silly, they just don't do it. Whatever the reason ( lazy, lack of know how) they don't.
I have no idea how you'd ever introduce what the mail want but if you could, I'd be all for it- why not?
The current situation is like having 18 rated films shown on bbc1 during the day and jut telling parents to deal with it
I do wonder what the impact will be on people who grow up seeing millions of extreme sexual images by the time they are 18. I never bought into the idea that porn makes men think less of women and any one looking at a copy of a 1980 razzle would have to agree the girls seem happy enough......but spend 10secs on any pornhub type site and you'll find plenty of less than jolly looking ladies.

Because it lulls parents into a false sense of security and removes more of their responsibility, while making it much harder for frustrated young men to get pictures of naked people?I have no idea how you'd ever introduce what the mail want but if you could, I'd be all for it- why not?

The TV has an off button. As does the PC/Phone/Tablet/Whatever.Tiggsy said:

"Pornification" is a big issue, and not just related to naked women on the internet; switch on a music video TV channel and see what's going on there. However the big issue as I see it is that parents are allowing their children to access the internet unsupervised. We all know what the internet is like, and it's certainly not a place I'd allow a child to wander around alone.Putting an ISP level block on it means that parents will have responsibility for protecting their children online removed. ISP level blocking won't make it impossible to get porn on the internet, just a bit more annoying. And children who want to look at porn will find a way to do it. Who is to blame if that happens?
