About 6 o'clock this evening my 6 year old was watching some kiddy-garbage when he flicked onto one of the adult channels. IMagine my surprise when he finds some scantily clad young lady cavorting, posturing, and err, flirting for the camera (as they do). There followed numerous questions from him. Should this stuff really be on the TV at 6 in the evening?

At the other end of the spectrum the late night entertainment is just rubbish isn't it? Soft in every sense of the term.

Seems to me we have some hopeless middle ground, and consequently get it wrong in both directions. Wouldn't it be better if we didn't allow any of this kind of thing pre-watershed, and post 11, say, anything goes.

Shouldn't you have blocked the adult channels, or not given the remote to a six year old?

I was just going to say that my sky box always asks for a pin number before a film is shown that kids might not want to see. I just checked and no such verification is required to watch the hundreds of channels of telephone wielding sluts!

What sort of irresponsible parent do you think I am? Not teaching my kids to be able to sit around using a remote?

I totally agree with that. Violent murder and abuse, no problem. Bit of shagging Noooooo! WTF there is nothing whatsoever wrong with porn, the hardcore weird stuff is still probably infinitely less disturbing than the 'Saw' movies.

And they promote it under the guise of parental fluffiness. 'Warning: This film contains scenes of extreme violence.' Ooe-er. But then we hunker forwards waiting for the blood to spurt.

Yes indeed, okay to show graphically simulated murder, which is illegal, but not to show graphically simulated sex, which is LEGAL.

This is why Sky boxes have 'Parental Control', though you apparently don't.

Its fine to show it at any time of the day. After all, any times a good time for a wk. Apart from in public, and like, at the dinner table. But you know what i mean. However, parental control should prevent children seeing this.

Christ. Why doesn't he just wrap him up in bubble wrap also.

Apparently you can't block the adult channels...

Incidentally I did used to wrap him in bubble wrap but all the wheezing and struggling for breath put me off my tea. laugh
