Be Excellent To Each Other

The other night on Film 4, they showed a film called "body song"

It's a 90 minute long montage of archived clips showing human life, from birth to death, and all stages in between.

At one point, they naturally show some free love and sex and stuff. During that particular section, they show 2 scenes of men receiving blow jobs. One from a man, and one from a woman.

I thought that sort of thing wasn't allowed to be show on TV?

Not that I'm complaining, but if they are allowed to show it, why isn't there more of it?

(Granted this film was shown at 02:00 or something)

Claiming your film/programme is "educational" gets a lot of leniency. I thought the displaying of an erect cock was still flat-out illegal though.

It's okay if you can't see the knob, I believe. You're not allowed to show erect cocks on the tellybox, lest Mary Whitehouse's grave-spinning puts the earth off its orbit.

Pretty much anything's allowed if you can't see the knob though, and has been for decades (after 9pm, obviously). So I assumed Malc meant that's what he saw.

Malc, what did you see?

HEH!

"Describe knob, please".

Er, yes. No need for detail, and especially no pictures, thanks.

So what counts as erect. Is it above 45 degrees, or something? Can you show a semi on TV?

These are burning questions I've wanted answering for a long, long time.

I think it's something like "able to support its own weight in the fight against gravity".

I saw a sex ed program with a thermal image of an erect knob once. And an *internal* cumshot. As in, the camera was inside the woman. That can't have been comfy.

The 'mull of kintyre rule' as it's know

I saw them discussing this once on a behind-the-scenes documentary in some magazine or other. They said what DavPaz mentioned, it's the Scottish Coastline rule:

No more upright than that, apparently.

You can show a hard on as long as it's partially obscured by a mist rolling in from the sea?

As long as Paul McCartney's strolling up and down it with a guitar.

Dur, that's the money shot.

They usually use the lady's hair though.

No. You can show the whole shebang, ejaculation and all, if you turn the camera upside-down.

I bet the cameraman was a happy chappy, though.

not after the, erm, 'release'

A man, deep throating another man, slowly pulling back, to show most of the penis, but not the tip.

The woman was going up and down on the penis, you could see the shaft of the penis, but once again you couldn't see the top.

That's quite a bit more than I was expecting to hear. I'm not objecting, because I don't care, but I haven't seen anything like that on television before.

What if you can't the the knob because it's buried in a donkey. That OK?

Did the over excitement cause the typing stammer Craster?

Ahem. Perhaps so, yes.

PLzs c Clerks 2.

Good girl.

Semi-relatedly, has anyone seen the Brit thriller Donkey Punch? It has some of the most gratuitous rumpy I've ever seen in a mainstream movie.

torrenting that, then.

/edit no I'm not, looks shit.

Surely as this is Film Four and not a terrestrial channel, the rules are different?

Either way, it's a stupid rule that should be scrapped anyway. Anyone who's too insecure to see an occasional cock on screen doesn't deserve a television.

I don't think Justin Lee Collins counts as an occasional cock.

I saw that, it was on 'the girls guide to 21st century sex' or something (a sex show showing actual real bonking and stuff, presented by some kind of beefy and funny looking woman). It made me feel quite sick actually

It's actually surprisingly good. Some of the kills are gloriously inventive. It's what every glossy Hollywood thriller wants to be (but rarely has the balls to carry off).

Edit: Regrettably, the best looking chick doesn't get nekkid.
