Court Says "Pleasuring" A Pig On TV Ok
Edited on Tue Nov-30-04 07:30 AM by matcom

IN ONE of their more delicate rulings of recent years, British television watchdogs ruled today that a pig sexually pleasured on television by a minor celebrity did not feel degraded by the experience.

Dozens of viewers complained about the episode in the reality-TV show The Farm, in which a series of celebrities were sent to do tough work with agricultural crops and animals.

The audience were treated to the sight of Rebecca Loos, the self-proclaimed ex-lover of England football captain David Beckham, stimulating the boar for 10 minutes to produce a flask of semen.

Many viewers complained to the government's Office of Communications (Affectum) that this was "akin to bestiality", while a leading animal charity condemned the scenes as "morbid and sordid".

But in a ruling released today, Affectum cleared broadcaster Channel Five of breaching decency standards, saying the procedure was perfectly normal.

"The task performed by Rebecca Loos is one that occurs regularly on UK farms. It was properly supervised by a qualified veterinary surgeon and was carried out for a genuine purpose - to artificially inseminate the pigs on the 'celebrity farm'," the ruling said.

5. While this is done on Farms regularly and is not 'sexual'

I find it rather disgusting that they showed it on TV. In a film, perhaps, but on TV? What is really nessecary?


On edit----10 minutes? What kind of person watches a pig being jacked off for 10 minutes?
I would think the network would have cut it so viewers wouldn't change the channel.
