“Seven defended the depiction is being commonplace on dance floors and ballroom competitions”

Seriously? That’s just, well, bizarre.

In some 22 years of DJing in nightclubs, I have not yet seen pole dancing happen on the dance floor, and I doubt many ballroom audiences have either.

Not that I have any problem with the content – surely by now ACMA realises that there’s hardly a parent in the country that gives a toss about classifications, and hardly a kid in the country who hasn’t already seen plenty of not-even-suitable-for-tv content by the time they’re 12 – but Seven’s defence sounds like that of a child caught shoplifting. “But mum, EVERYONE is doing it!”

News isn’t subject to the same classification as drama. It’s all about context too. ie. the way the character felt about the situation was crucial.

I think I’ve seen racier content on the news! Seriously even Dancing with the Stars have had “hotter” moments.

Big deal. The Simpsons and Neighbours FREQUENTLY surpass the G rating, and don’t get me started on Neighbours dropping the F bomb.
