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.

ive not seen this program but it sounds sad i agree with u they should defently keep wwf on if there showen stuff like that in stead theres no point in taken wwf off then putting sonthing like this other show on in its time slot if its as bad as u say then whats the point?
Yea..Im in..May not do nuttin but wot the hey..For a good cause.
Im finally back to raise hell!
I wasn't going to return to Special Reserve, until I saw this interesting message Ant.
The truth is this: It was a spoof, a spoof on how the media deal with pedophiles (spelt wrong). It wasn't taking the mick of them, or what they do, or anything of that sort. As you saw it was made up of news reporters, and this is the way that news reporters DEAL with these things.
I don't see how you could mistake it, hell, im 12, and i understand it!
Back, and ready for a brawl!

They wont take any notice but we might as well.
On Sky it was complety uncut it ruled.
How can they say anything about its "extreme nature" when its all fake anyway and you can see that. But y'know, people still enjoy it, okay I get a bit bored when they go over the top but I still watch it and its bad enough they put breaks in live shows but there's no need to take it off air.
If people don't want to watch it they have an off button on their remote, why spoil it for the rest of us?
