    As a result of the Jerry Springer opera and just interesting in general, it's an Ofcom report. Rather ammusing to see what people in the UK complain about.

    Two viewers complained that, during ITV’s live broadcast of a football match, a football commentator remarked that one of the teams had had a “holocaust of a start”.

    Response

    ITV said that immediately after the incident, programme executives made it very clear to the commentator that his use of the word – albeit without intending to offend, and with the pressures of live broadcasting – was wrong and unacceptable. ITV Sport immediately issued a public apology.

    Dearie me....!

    Mike.
