UK Media Regulator Blindsided by Explicit Content in “Sexy Girls Next Door”
Playboy Television has been fined by a British media agency for what can only be described as a Trojan-horse style assault on unsuspecting UK living rooms: sneaking sexually explicit and offensive images into programs called “Sexy Girls Next Door”, “Sexy Urban Legends”, “and “Adult Stars Close-Up.”
According to Reuters, the fine was levied by Ofcom (the UK’s answer to the FCC) and amounted to 22,500 pounds – about $33,000, or what Playboy founder Hugh Hefner likes to call “what I make in the time it takes Miss February to help me put on my diamond-encrusted pajamas.”
