Foxtel’s bestiality billboard is last straw: industry must be regulated : Comments

By Lyle Shelton, published 2/5/2013

If ethics is so confused that its teachers have no moral compass, why should we be surprised a large company seeks to cash in on the controversy it knows it will generate by advertising in this manner?

Classification Board: "Films will be classified RC if they contain depictions of practices such as bestiality"

RC = Refused classification.

The irony of the Foxtel smartypants, telling people to "Watch The Forbidden" is that Foxtel could never actually show what they're promoting.
Real clever, guys.

Nothing on Foxtel is "forbidden". It's all approved by the Board.

I think the market itself can "regulate" this kind of thing.
Just look at all the anti-Foxtel sentiment it's generated.
Other companies may now think twice about making the same "mistake".

The broader issue is the new totalitarianism of sexual permissiveness, i.e. unhinged from any substantive mooring outside the ideology of Power - which basically means the government will administer sexual lives, family and procreation. The sexvote amounts to "enslave yourselves to lust, while we accrue to ourselves total power". Note how they are abolishing marriage, freedom of speech and the press, invent climate catastrophe's to get money, and train their own 'experts' in universities to lobby government into making government bigger!

"If we're made to believe we're just rutting animals they will have even more power over us." Tracey Rowland.

This is not a conspiracy, it is simply what happens when late stage democracies and their hyptertrophied central governments, corrupted by markets that respect nothing, are too-big to fail and too-big to be accountable. Certain ideas just seem to gather prestige around them and go unquestioned because they grease the tracks of power. Our political culture has taken on an uncontrolled preternatural life of its own.

That this billboard could get passed multiple levels of scrutiny is deeply disturbing.

Why does it always have to be Christian organisations that speak up for families, no one else seems to be doing it, where is everyone? Have they *all* been assimilated? I mean we're being directly attacked by power and money stuffing themselves with our money and children. Don't we have any dignity?

"There was no ethical consideration by Foxtel of the mental health effects on children of being exposed to something like this, let alone that of adults"

As opposed to the abomination that is Religion foisted upon so many children without their consent ? Let alone the disgusting way the ACL attempts to foist their perverted moral views upon the nation by lobbying Politicians.

One only has to look to the Catholic Churches current hand wringing about abuses over the decades to see the true nature of religion.
