Default How did this happen?

During tonight's "Exposure" about the "Other Side of Jimmy Savile" Sky
ran an advert where a girl of 'questionable age' told Bruce Willis that
"Sky Broadband was unlimited, AS AM I" before walking off arm in arm
with him.

Was this a subliminal message that Willis is a paedo?
That Murdoch is?

(OMG hopefully that isn't Murdoch senior - that is just too gross to
contemplate!).

Or both?

Who [email protected] up in placing such an ad in the middle of that programme?

You think a woman in her 20s is of "questionable" age?

That ad has been all over the place. I must admit that it was a bit odd
wherever it appears. Unlimited in what way? does this mean she is going to
expand uncontrollably?

Did you ever see pictures of the 13 year old Helen Shapiro ( spellink
warning), when she was actually supposed to be 18?

I remember the event clearly but it only came out years later on and
seemingly was never given much of a thought.

I was one of the many young boys who had a crush on Helen Shapiro.

I was 13, and she was 14.

It was typical, and still is, to have a crush on someone in the pop
media who is around the same age as oneself.

There was never any pretence that she was any older than that.

I don't know where you got that idea.

Hayley Mills was another example at that time.

Yes I clearly remember when I was 13, taking a copy of the Daily Mirror
to the toilet because it had a picture of her in it.

Did it make it more absorbent then?

You think that an actress in her 20's, playing someone with a job, could
be confused with a pre-pubescent child?

Don't be an idiot.


I don't think any of those making allegations are claiming they were
pre-pubescent, although that doesn't preclude further allegation to that
effect, just under-age. Perhaps you should learn the difference between
biological and legislation definitions.

Nevertheless, as others have pointed out, making someone appear to be in
their 20's when they are not is trivial, just as making someone in their
20's or even 30's *appear* pre-pubescent is a major, mainly British led,
industry! Her age certainly looked "questionable" to me, but perhaps I
am a little more conservative in that context than you.

I still maintain that, in that context, that ad should never have been
run. It was reminiscent of NBC running that add for oven cleaners
during the first US airing of "Holocaust" back in the 70's.

Perhaps you should learn what the word "paedophilia" means.

The actress is clearly an adult and the skit shows her working at a job. How
many 14 or15 year olds do you know who work in an office for Sky?

Well, everyone is entitled to their opinion but I think in this case you
jare just missing a sense of humour.
