Trust me - haven't given it a moments notice, just said I'd give you some feedback.

Still not sure why in this day and age you feel the need to complain to the BAI about it.

Just a bit eighties and Mary Whitehouse - but then again I made that point previously.

Certain words being banned on boards has nothing to do with it !!!

And I pointed out that Senator David Norris complained about Tallafornia on TV3, I doubt that you could think that Senator David Norris has a similar prudish out look to Mary Whitehouse. But then I made that point a while back.

IMO it is a free world and if you want to complain about a word or phase on pre-watershed TV then you should be allow to be offended and yes to complain. And I think it is a bit Mary Whitehousish of Boards to star-out bad language.

The UK are much more strict on bad language on TV then here in Ireland. You will rarely hear bad language used on UK soaps, and TV stations in the UK are fined for the use of bad language (pre-watershed).

And as I pointed out before Comedy Central and E4 edit Friends. A show that comes from a country with even stricter rules surrounding bad language. I think that is far more Bizzare. Comedy Central even blanked Red from "That 70's Show" from saying "ass", imagine
