A series of clever yet risque promos for a British reality show about a group of London lesbians has sparked an investigation by a UK media regulator. The promos for Candy Bar Girls, a reality show about the “lives and loves” of six lesbians living in London’s Soho neighborhood, have received at least ten complaints about their mildly racy content airing during daytime hours when kids could be watching. As the Guardian reports, “each of the on-air promos for the new reality show feature teasing close-up images that appear to be of two women engaged in sexual activity, intercut with lines such as ‘Red… hot… lesbians’ and ‘Pussy… loving… ladies’” only to pull back and reveal innocent activities, such as working out, playing chess, or petting a cat.

The promos each include a tag line with an announcer asking viewers “well, what were you expecting?” The British group Ofcom has launched an investigation into the matter, and anyway, that’s the news peg that gives us a good reason to share the promos with you. Enjoy, from YouTube:

It is atrocious that nonnormal behavior is being touted in Public in the name of Freedom of Choice,expression.

Television channels with an eye of TRP rating air these programs.

New York has legalized Gay Marriages.On my comment in the TIME on this subject, I have received comments where(never mind personal attacks on me,I do not respond to them any way),I have noticed that the self-professed Homosexuals do not even recognize that this behavior is not normal and go on to question Normal Behavior.

While it is warranted that Gays/Lesbians be given leeway for their behavior and the Family needs to be supportive and Society ensure their Safety and desist from ridiculing them, this should not be taken to the extreme of glorifying an abnormal behavior especially when they refuse to accept that their behavior is not normal and in most cases refuse Counseling even.

Too liberal attitude may result in the acceptance and glorification of Abnormal behavior.

Coming to the TV show, what exactly do these people and the TV station want to convey?

That Homosexuality is normal and needs promotion, especially among children?

Do these people who ai these programs not have a Family or are all of them of the same ilk?

I was puzzled by a comment in the TIME on’ Gay Marriage Legal in New York’ that these laws are passed because most of the decision makers are Homosexuals.

By not taking action against TV Station and producers of this show might confirm that Media is following the law makers.

I will hate mails. spewing venom for these views.

In fact Newsvine of MSNBC removed my article for my views.

Medicine may be bitter for children.

Parents can not help prescribing .
