Hello there.
I understand from this Daily Mail story that Mumsnet is unhappy with the broadcasting of the "Babe Shows": www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2112121/Parents-anger-Freeview-porn-children-access-unchecked-prompts-Ofcom-complaint.html

I represent the viewers and channels associated with this late night fun and I am here to answer any questions & concerns that you may have.

Thanks.

How did the viewers vote for you? Press 1 for sexy Susie, press 2 for busy Barbara press 3 to vote for scottishbloke ...

LadySybilDeChocolate · 08/03/2012 22:20

You shouldn't believe all that the Daily Mail print.

ChickensHaveNoLips · 08/03/2012 22:20

That's sweet Op, really, but...we don't give a shiny shit about your forum or your 'babes'. So there really isn't an issue to discuss. Are you trying to convince us of something?

MmeLindor. · 08/03/2012 22:20

Would this not normally go through MNHQ?

As an aside, according to that article, your smut is broadcast between 10pm and 6am.

If anyone is going to complain on the basis of their toddler might watch it by mistake, then they are going to by asked why their toddler is up watching TV at that time of night.

An objection raised due to the fact that it is vile misogynistic wankfodder is fine.

Thistledo · 08/03/2012 22:21

Scottish bloke why do you care that people do not want to watch there are always going to be differences of opinion re this. Are you hoping to change people's perspective on the service that these shows provide?

ElectricSoftParade · 08/03/2012 22:21

But who do you represent? How were you given this role? Serious questions.

Also, DressDown Friday Smile

Marking place. How long till this goes poof?

ScottishBloke · 08/03/2012 22:25

50,000 members of the UK Babe Channels forum decided that I was the best person to present their views to Parliament and Mumsnet. I have tirelessly campaigned for the viewers and Channels to be treated fairly and to no longer be undermined by negative views.

I am here to help.

Must get to bed soon but, before I do, why do you need your views presented to Parliment and MN? Could you please link to the campaigns?

I am trying here to understand.

LeBOF · 08/03/2012 22:27

You need to put this in Media Requests and pay your thirty quid.

Meanwhile, I believe that if you lean on your arm for ten minutes, it can improve your experience.

roughtyping · 08/03/2012 22:28

You have 50000 members? And a dedicated forum?

TheSkiingGardener · 08/03/2012 22:30

You are here to help? Surely that implies we need helping?

Would it be ok if I did not feel the need to be "helped" to change my views to agree with yours?

I look forward to the official thread.

ShowOfHands · 08/03/2012 22:30

Oh give over.

Do you think I came down the M11 on a teatray?

MmeLindor. · 08/03/2012 22:33

I don't need any help to make up my mind. I have already done so.

We don't need persuading.

There are MNetters who abhor porn, those who don't mind it, those who quite like it, thanks very much.

What do you think that posting on here will achieve?

ScottishBloke · 08/03/2012 22:34

Thistledo:

I understand that 98% of the UK population do not want to watch. The people I represent want to watch. The Daily Mail informs me that you (mumsnet) want to deny us the right to watch Babestation on Freeview.

does the OP just keep posting the same thing over and over again? head explodes at mind-numbing boringness of the whole thing

troll fail, it's not even that funny.

YuleingFanjo · 08/03/2012 22:36

The Daily Mail says, The Daily Mail says, the Daily Mail says..... aaarrrgghhh

FannyFifer · 08/03/2012 22:37

ElectricSoftParade · 08/03/2012 22:37

As MmeLindor said, there is no one view on MN. TBH I wouldn't believe everything the DM prints. It may not be representative. HTH.

ChickensHaveNoLips · 08/03/2012 22:37

Yeah, we're going to come around to your houses with giant bottles of Tippex and white out your screens. No more bouncing tits and coquettish giggles for you!

MmeLindor. · 08/03/2012 22:37

ScottishBloke
There is your problem. You believed something you read in the Daily Mail. You really shouldn't.

Why don't you go and get a beer and a Tunnocks teacake and report back to your forum that there really is nothing to worry about. MN is not going to close your channel.

Thank you but I don't think I will link.

LittleAlbert · 08/03/2012 22:39

Yay! We demand the right to watch Babe Station on Freeview!!!!

The Arab Spring has nothing on this...

You fight for your rights Scotty, love
