Melon Squirter’s Nutter Watch~Eaves Women’s Group For Protesting against Channel Five’s Brothel Sitcom

Eave Ho Hum 2nd September Five has been branded “way out of line” by the women’s nutter group, Eaves, for broadcasting a sitcom set in a suburban brothel. Respectable breaks Ofcom guidelines by portraying prostitution as “glamorous” and “risk-free” and should be taken off-air, Eaves have said.A Five representative said the channel took the subject matter “seriously”. Its publicity material describes Respectable as following a group of young women working together, squabbling, chatting and bonding, like any other workforce. Like thousands of brothels throughout Britain, it’s outwardly respectable, it’s twee – and it could be next door to you. Eaves said it had gathered a petition with 1,500 names. It has written to Five, Ofcom and Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell to ask for the programme to be pulled: Respectable will perpetuate the myth that not only is buying sex acceptable, rather than degrading and exploitative, but that it can be fun and enjoyable for the women involved and add glamour to their lives. A spokeswoman for Five said Respectable is not intended to be as an in-depth investigation of prostitution. It is a comedy, and we would expect it to be viewed as such. Melon farmers are obviously classing Eaves as a “woman’s nutter group. This is hardly surprising for a web site dedicated to removing any so called ‘censorship’ promoting a porno free for all. Any form of misogyny or exploitation of women and children are viewed as ’fair game’ Heaven forbid anyone may censor their blatant hatred of women.
