she’s now an embarrassing middle-aged mum who’s desperate to appear cool. you’ll notice that she’s got hardly any commercial endorsements any more, even gap have dropped her.
And snoop dogg doesn’t appeal to young children, his music, shite as it is, is just not aimed at their lug’oles

But there’s also a big difference between Joe Bloggs (who has no influence) doing something, and Snoop Dogg or Madonna (influential as they are) doing the same thing. A point demonstrated by the advertisers, who are at great pains to get their products endorsed by someone as ‘cool’ as possible.

That’s why no-one advertises there.
???…Hang on a bit…
Never mind – Snoop Dogg’s language has helped no end to relieve African poverty, & we are all in his debt.

I’ve heard shit (that’s the word) in at least 3 songs on the radio today. (Money by Pink Floyd, Fast Love by George Michael and a Sheryl Crow song)

I think they only have restrictions on the breakfast shows, and between 3pm and 5pm, ie. when kids are likely to be listening.

But say it on the radio… and wow…
I admit that swearing on the wireless pre-watershed (does radio have a watershed ?) isn’t a good idea. But this is a special case. The BBC DID NOT do the swearing. People wanted to listen to it live. No point of it being live 8 if the BBC have to delay it to monitor for swearing.. Then there’s the chance that people might miss the swearwords…

In events like this parents should accept there may be some swearing, or not allow their children to watch such things….
