I think it is more to do with what the mainstream media will show.Many people use the "different times" argument - it possibly was, but has our sense of humour changed because sex isn't the taboo it once was?
Carry On films and seaside postcards are perhaps just "harmless" innuendo and smut - Benny Hill and Kenny Everett less so even if scantily-clad nurses wearing stockings chasing an old pervert round the park is still the stuff of male fantasy.
The other TV stuff I mentioned is just racist and really has no place in today's society even if it did deal with "real" situations back then - nobody did anything about it so we just accepted it as the "norm".
Jeez, this needs to join the other discussion on the Politics Board! Can we get back to cakes, weather and such inoffensive topics? Notice I didn't mention "flirting" - oh, sh*t just did!![]()

so mock the week bbc 2 early stuff Frankie Boyle holding court.
new world order etc edgy comics being given a national platform.
Of course some of the stuff he comes out with will be found offensive.
But then Chris Morris and brass eye - do not do cake kids its a made up drug showed us all the media whores , and the pedophile special and the media storm and the band wagon jumping by the political classes was brilliant as it was what he was mocking and the reality was just so funny to watch
censorship of humor is the very thin edge of the wedge
I wonder how big the twater storm would be today if the pedophile special was run today or would more people get it?
