If sad old men want porn, why not go on the net? It's such a waste of time and money for Porn on British TV.
Give it 6 months when the quiz channels are taken off-air and you'll see a proliferation of these channels on digital. The fat cats who own these media companies that produce and broadcast quiz channels will need another revenue source to finance their country mansions and flashy cars.
Is Jamez becoming just a little bit anti-capitalist? Yes, probably.

One of these types of channels had their licence revoked recently. Basically Ofcom found what this channel was a little to adult for a free to air channel so they asked the channel to tone down. Guess what, they didn't listen so the channel eventually got fined which in turn they didn't bother to pay up so eventually a year later the station went bye bye.
Reasons behind this can found here

But the best bit about that link is from page 14 onwards where you will see a transcript of kinda stuff they say live on air and not with a caller.

Those who disapprove of such things should think themselves lucky that UK broadcasting offers and enforces (to an extent) quite a stringent regime.
When i lived in Germany hard-core (and I mean HARD core) porn was broadcast on the FTA cable channels during the day - I was gob-smacked - and glued to the screen for the first afternoon in the country.

The problem with soft porn is that
everyone hates it. People against porn hate it because it's porn, and people who like porn hate it because it's just rubbish.
I don't know how the adult channels on Sky mange to make money when they're competing against the internet where you can watch pretty much anything you want, with all tastes and specialities catered for.

Have you spoken to a Psychiatrist about your obscure word association issues?

No, but I must see a doctor about my piles.
