Very smutty, very funny.
Excuse me, I’ve just got to go off and snigger a bit more ……

Not that any of this would matter to a frothing tithead like Green, obviously.

I don’t quite get these ones here with the people and their litter…*goes to sit in corner and ponder*

This is censorship and I shall write to my MP about it! How dare the Monitor not let me see a huge cock if the rest of you can see ‘Fanny’s’? It’s disgusting.

Banning ads after they have already been aired is useless, since by that time the damage (if there is any damage) has already been done. Moreover, the ads then get lots of publicity in the newspapers – so the overall situation is arguably even worse than it would have been if they had not been banned. Counter-productive.

It may be unsophisticated, but it’s not really offensive, is it!

But I think they should be given a chance before banning them; there’s no harm in trying.
Just for the record this is *the first* time I have slightly agreed with Stephen Green.

If I ever find myself agreeing with Mr. Green again, I may have to shoot myself.
