I'm Shocked At What The ABC Dishes Up...

[icyfroth]

...for entertainment!

Last night's finale of Ja'mie was disappointing, and the language and the some of the scenes were gross.

I left the TV after that but was sitting nearby at the computer when "Shock Horror Aunty" came on. Some of the language in that was so disgusting I made OH change the channel.

Is that what's being served up as entertainment these days?

I always thought the ABC was more conservative.

Icy, I totally agree with you.

A long time ago my father told me that people who use foul language to express themselfs, are showing a lack of intelligence.

Just shows the kind of people in charge of ABC.

Another reason I hate Facebook.

I prefer smutty humour in preference to the blatant lies from the likes of Bolt and Devine in the Telegraph.

Give me the ABC and SBS any day.

The ABC needs to be gutted & sold off.

Where will all the lefties go then?? the Guardian online or Fairfax? no because they are already getting rid of their left wing journos because that's what has brought Fairfax down, they print stuff nobody wants to buy, ergo, broke.

If the Coalition had half the chance they would do just that, they hate the truth being told.

There's a difference between smutty and outright filth.

 I don't know the program?. I didn't watch it .We need some media who will inform our Country of  ALL International and National issues...including humanitarian ones.

It's funny to compare the porn etc coming out of liberal democratic USA and Europe to that coming out of the commie countries e.g China and the former USSR.

I have to agree that ABC should not waste time with programs like Ja'mie; I only got the last bit of it as I turned the TV to watch "Shock Horror Aunty", and that was enough.  Sadly the language is what is quite normal among young people now. 
"Shock Horror Aunty" was a documentary to show what was acceptable some years ago - like the horrid sexist advertisement for ABC back in 1970s, and what was not.  And yes , the ABC always  let young entertainers to push boundaries - sometimes in hindsight maybe they should have not.  But this show was not showing highlights of the past, it was showing "Shock Horror", why watch it if that sort of thing offends you?  These highlighted programs were just tiny part in what ABC offered us over the years.

Unfortunately, as the funding for ABC continues to be reduced in the real terms, they cannot produce high quality programs as they used to, and can only buy so many good programs.

omg what's that all about? I'm commenting on the gross indecency seen and heard on some of the shows ABC present, that nobody bats an eyelid about, yet people can get all incensed about human rights and discrimination!

I was shocked to the eyeballs on a recent Q&A show when a gay man said he thought abortions should be compulsory for some people.

I mean, is that sort of hate speech ok with everybody?

It made feel sick with outrage.
