WTF: Playboy TV Fined For Explicit Content

For whatever reason you end up switching to Playboy TV I think it’s safe to assume it’s not family viewing. You’re going to have nudity and sexual content. Fair assumption, right?

Well, apparently not in Britain.

British media regulator Ofcom received five complaints relating to seven late night programs broadcast between September and December 2007 including “Sexy Girls Next Door,” “Sexy Urban Legends” and “Adult Stars Close-up”.

Ofcom said Playboy TV UK/Benelux Ltd had failed to ensure adequate protection for viewers from “potentially harmful or offensive material” and fined the company 22,500 pounds ($32,990).

If you don’t want T&A, don’t watch Playboy. Yet more British lunacy.
