I think we can all agree that one of the principal ingredients of advertising is sex and in recent years, this element
has been pushed to a point where most average-minded people might say the tactic is now ridiculous.
In Britain, there is a television channel imaginatively called 'Channel 4' and is State-owned, but financed through
commercials. Via a programme-producing company titled 'Betty TV' -a business with questionable tastes, Channel
4 believed a great ratings-grabber would be to air a series called 'Naked Education'.
With the risk of seeming prudish, I was surprised to see in the Daily Mail an article where one episode discussed
'body positivity' with children and offered this young audience (and viewers) a group of naked adults displaying their
private parts. Of course, this is cheap sensationalism just for ratings and headline-grabbing, but as seen in the image
below, why pixelate the private parts of the exhibitionists?!
I know we have a standards set-up in the UK, with a government-approved regulatory system called OfCom that
adheres to codes of a high moral principles, but wouldn't be seen as a obvious 'outrage-promoter' by blurring the
adults' doo-dahs for the TV audience, but not for the kids?!
Eh, I'm not bible-thumping here or reflecting values from a by-gone age, it's just is this another example of what
the new guys on the entertainment block call 'effective'? I've watched the slow degradation of the established
conduits of news and entertainment broadcasting, but to believe this kind of 'Scandal-TV' will bring a younger
audience to replace the older ones to be successful, shows how desperate this doomed medium actually is.
