    .....for late night radio nudity.

    This was prompted by one complaint. They've also made sure no one can hear the offending reference to somebody with their langer out by removing it from their i-player.

    It's all gotten a bit "silly" as they might say.

    Radio. Nudity.

    God/FSM!

    People really need better things to complain about. Anyway who listens to the radio these days?!

    Barrowman should find out who complained and skull fuck them. This is really stupid. WTF is up with BBC? They apologise for stupid shit like this, yet I have still not recieved any form of apology for Anne Robinson making my eyes bleed.

    But langer is also a German word, I am of the opinion that anyone that complains about something so inconsequential as this is an idiot, therefore they probably took it out of context!!!

    Old people whose life is given meaning by having the ear of someone at least temporarily.

    You'd be tempted to ring a show....

    'Hi, Nod, you're Irish?'
    'Yep'
    '...in late 30's...bit of a beer belly, it says here'
    'yep'
    'and you're sitting at home now listening on your pc?'
    'Yeah, here in me y-fronts with the head of me lad pokin out....'

    Radios and television should be taken away from old people.

    The thing there is that he's one of the gays.

    If he was straight, I'm sure there wouldn't have been any complaints.

    Also, I doubt it was an old person.
    They usually hit the sack (no pun intended) at about 9pm.

    Well there was only one complaint. I think it's hard to say it was because he's gay....I'd doubt that. Some people will just complain about anything.

    Possibly because of the face aids he got.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,012 ✭✭✭✭Cuddlesworth


    Its a slippery slope, pretty soon we will have Granny porn and shows that are only entertaining for their immediate shock value. Oh wait

    Someone complaining about nudity on a radio show :confused:

    Was it on a webcast? Some radio shows have webcasts of the presenters in the studio
    Or was it just an old crank?
