On Friday night, I watched some of the Brasseye special on C4. It was absolutely disgusting, in my opinion. It was meant to be a comedy, and the only time I laughed was once, just as I turned on, when it had, "Here is a peadophile disguised as a house."
Then I began to see what it was all about. They showed footage of 2 people having sex, the woman meant to be a 10-year-old girl. They also brought a boy in, and then asked a 'peadophile,' if he fancied him!
After clocking up over a 1000 complaints, one from MP David Blunkett, they STILL showed the repeat!
And what's this I hear? They're getting rid of WWF because of it's 'extreme nature.' Supposedly, it's 'too hard to edit,' although it's shown at past midnight, and their have been a few complaints about the crazy stunts and the way they portray women.
John Bayer, Director of Media Watch UK, slammed the move. He said, "On one hand they transmit disgraceful programmmes such as Brass Eye and on the other hand they have a dislike of wrestling, which is just acting and healthy messing around. Their double standards are incomprehensable."
I completely agree. Brasseye wasn't funny, it was disgusting, and I expect it offended many people. How'd you think people who had actually been affected by the subject felt??
I was also shocked to see (not sure about her name,) but that women who starred in great comedies such as Beast and Smack The Pony, playing a large role in the program!
So Channel 4 think that Sports-Entertainment is wrong, and Brasseye is right. Wrestling is very popular in the UK, and the 4 PPV's that they show over the whole year, as well as the weekly edition of Sunday Night Heat, must get them a lot of viewers. Their have been hardly any complaints, and it's now been changed from an afternoon showing to a late night showing. Brasseye, which was shown at around 10pm I think, has now had over 2000 complaints, they show it twice and have still done nothing about it.
I am very annoyed at the actions of Channel 4. It's probably one of my favourite channels as it shows class programs such as Friends, Frasier, South Park and has good coverage of the Cricket. And of course, it did have WWF.
I would like to hear your views, and if you actually liked Brasseye, please tell me why as I am shocked that anyone could actually enjoy a programme with such dirty, offensive material.
Thanks for reading, Ant.

I srongly agree with you there Ant, I think it's unfair and basically boils down to the fact C4 may be to lazt to try and do something with the WWF, so they have given up... or so it would seem. I just gol this from THeMayhem.
"As I am sure you know, it has been said that the WWF’s contract with Channel 4 in the United Kingdom will be ended this year in November. Well I went to the Channel 4 website and read their forum that a fan has stated he phoned Channel 4 who said that WWF programming would continue into the year 2002."
Now if you ae not a sky owner liek me, you would look at that and smile. :). Let's hope the statement is right!

I think this is just another case of double standards in the media. As everyone knows, wrestling is fake. I didn't see Brasseye but I have heard it pretty bad. So to cancel wrestling because of its extreme nature is a joke.
I didn't see brass eye but on the wwf situation, i think it's great that channel four are getting rid of it. They messed it about too much, lots of editing and adverts none of which you get on sky.
There is no need for the editing as it is way past the watershed and only people wanting to watch the event will stay up that late or record it so young children shouldn't be watching it. There is next to no violence anyway compared to somethings that channel 4 show.
anyway I think channel 4 are doing us all a favour except those who don't have sky.

And I don't. I had never been able to waach wwf before it was on C4, apart from borrowing videos of mates. Now it is going again, or proberbly, I will not see it much again, I am sorely dissapointed.
