The first thing that always comes into my head when I read lepreporn is leper porn and I get an image of ragged people with missing limbs........ man Im f***ed up

aidan_walsh

Huh. So this is why they cancelled their homemade stuff.

Mr E

The "Hairy Bobbing Man Ass" monologue by Bill Hicks springs to mind.....

Meh, no one seems to watch that channel anyways. Ireland will remain a haven of sweet purity for a while yet.

Dude, nobody wants to see home-made Irish porn!

the word 'porn' is getting thrown around fairly loosly.

we feel this block will appeal to our late-night, primarily male audience

I wonder how many NASA super-computers they had number-crunching to come up with that prediction?

Not gonna happen now apparently - Fergal Quinn, the Barry family and a few other shareholders have had the plan for porn pulled.

Ah well, the moral fabric of Eire has been preserved for another while so.

Wimps. May I suggest a petition to have late night pron? A letter writing campaign to the national papers could be fun.

CHANNEL 6 TO SCRAP SOFT-PORN PLAN - The Irish Times reports that the management of Irish television station Channel 6 is expected to abandon plans to screen pornography after objections from some board members and investors.

The paper says the controversial move was the main topic of discussion at a board meeting of the company in Dublin yesterday. It is understood that it was agreed the soft pornography programming should not now be aired by the entertainment channel, which is aimed at 15- to 34-year-olds.

Channel 6 is backed by a number of prominent local investors, including the Barry's Tea family in Cork and Senator Feargal Quinn.

The paper says reports that the channel planned to show such movies are understood to have embarrassed both Mr Quinn and Deirdre Clune, Peter Barry's daughter. Ms Clune is a Fine Gael councillor and is contesting the general election in the Cork South Central constituency.

This softcore bollocks that Channel 6 would have been showing in available on plenty of channels already. It will be a long time before you see proper porn through a Sky Digibox.

Haven't a Clue

Yeah. It probably would've only been American porn from about 10 years ago anyway. If you want that, watch playboy one. Channel 912.

In a rating of 1 to 10, how pathetic is it that I know the channel number off by heart?

Well it could be worse. The channel might be blocked on your telly.

qwertplaywert

lostexpectation

it was cheap and tacky but the fact that the directors pulled it for their reputation in catholic Ireland still?

The real reason rears it's head then.

Nobody really cares if they show or not though right? I mean it's Ch6....sure no-one watches it anyhow and I doubt the temptation of the glance of a moist nipple shot in ultra soft focus with some cheesy backing music was really going to send the viewing figures skyward.

Here's an idea....try putting on some sh*t that people might actually want to watch on your crappy channel.

They were probably embarrassed that the channel planned to show this kind of sh*te in a bid to win viewers. Soft pr0n went out with the invention of the Internet.

GretchenWieners

OK everybody put Fergal Quinn or Deirdre Clune bottom of theri ballot now!

Do you spam much?
