to think the BBC is glamorising being in porn to young people?

I watched the video and it seems to me that the BBC is making being a porn actress look glamorous to a young audience (I assume that Newsbeat has a younger audience).

What do other people think?

I have already complained to the BBC. Is there anywhere else I can complain to?

I don't think it is glamourising her choice. She is just answering a few questions.

It's not a career I would choose for my own DDs, but I did not find the clip any more offensive than articles I read in the Daily Mail evey day.

Everyone glamourises it these days. Everyone is afraid to say it's not a brilliant path to go down either as a viewer or a participant. I saw a bit of C4 Teens Sex (if that's not the title then it is similar to that) and the little I saw made me wonder where do people go if they start down the paths they were talking about at such a young age. Whatever way you look at it, the real deal is the only one who really benefits are the rich blokes at the top.

YABU. I think it's important that young people (all of us, in fact) have access to information of all kinds - not just about subjects/careers that we approve of - and can make intelligent judgements and have open discussions. Things are more 'glamorous' when they are brushed under the carpet. Ignorance is never the solution

Working in porn is not illegal, and I don't think it's a particularly immoral industry either (though I'm sure parts of it are seedy and unsavory) -- unlike some industries, the porn industry doesn't get trillion pound bailouts which we'll all be paying back for decades.

So the BBC is perfectly entitled to interview someone doing this job. If you don't like it, don't be a porn star and don't watch the programme. You don't get to decide how other people are allowed to earn their living; if this bothers you, tough.

It's probably part of a government policy to target youth unemployment, and we shouldn't complain because zomg teh defercit.

Womans Hour on the 11th November did a fascinating piece on brothels in Nevada here. It was very interesting to hear how the people owning and running places like 'the Mustang Ranch' could justify the system and rationalise their business. The studio discussion afterwards put quite a different slant on things. I don't think any area of life should be excluded from current affairs reporting on the BBC, Newsbeat's target audience of 15 - 30 year-olds included

I read an article in the Times recently about the Nevada brothels - it was sickening frankly. It's not quite like Dolly Parton's Best Little Whore House film.

It is a very one-sided 'article', yes. Could do with being balanced by some of the more sobering stuff on porn.

Not as bad as flipping Belle De Jour though!
