C4 escapes censure over big brother swearing

[ILoveTRW]

Broadcasting watchdog Ofcom is to take no further action following a foul-mouthed outburst by two Big Brother contestants on daytime TV after Channel 4 apologised to viewers.

Evicted housemates Noirin Kelly and Isaac Stout both swore within minutes of each other after being invited to appear on a lunchtime edition of Big Brother's Little Brother - despite being warned about language.

Presenter George Lamb immediately apologised to viewers after both occasions, as did the contestants, and Channel 4 broadcast a further apology moments later.

Ofcom said: "Given the immediate and appropriate action taken by the broadcaster, we consider the matter resolved."

Channel 4 said Isaac's use of the word "*******" in the pre-watershed programme on a Sunday was "highly regrettable".

It was just a slip up, it happens alot on TV before 9.

Sad, sad people that complain when they apologised numerous times.

They should find better things to do with their time instead of worrying about them/their child hearing a word on TV, Jesus.

I'm sorry but obviously enough wasn't done to PREVENT them from swearing.

Apocalypse Now movie quote :
They train young men to drop fire on people. But their commanders
