AXN Banned for 2 months

[Vyasram]

I think they should first ban FTV,MTV &V Channel. There are much more skinshows on those channels.

why ban anything?

just put an adult warning on top of such shows, and ppl will swithc to another channel if they find it bad.... why should the govt worry?

What is worse - sensuality/sexuality, which is procreative or all that violence in movies and on TV, destructive by all means? Which one would you rather feel comfortable with - a topless model or a psycho with a hunting knife in his hand?

Next time you bow before a *holy* sexual symbol, think about it.

 

[Vyasram]

^internet streams for AXN?
how does your cablewallah do that?

through p2p i guess, one semi-legal software is in softpedia itself( dunno if it is completely legal)

btw my cablewallah broadcasted espnstar from hong kong during WC 06, he does the same for some channels as well

Psycho with hunting hand is better than a topless model when childrens are viewing the show. Do you like your children exposed to topless models?

^^^ dunno why ppl are so insanely paranoid abt nudity

a serial killer stabbing the guts out of a person would affect a kid's brain ten times more than a nude model

nudity/porn isn't the only adult thing out there.... extreme gore/violence is also an adult thing

 

[mediator]

The channel was banned for showing programmes which Dasmunsi said were against good taste or decency and "likely to adversely affect public morality".

And what about politicians throwing tables and chairs in Parliament? What about them throwing metal rods and mikes at each other during discussions?
Isn't that against "decency" and "morality"? Why don't they think about themselves first before judging whats appropriate for others?

 

[Vyasram]

btw, do you prefer children to get exposed to deadly violence instead of partial nudity( given a choice)

give an X for the lok sabha/rajya sabha channels

 

[mail2and]

Doesn't affect me.

I watch NDTV(cable wala has taken it off air for some strange reason) and Times Now.

I'm speechless! Nudity isn't immoral, indecent or anywhere near any type of violence. I'm not even married, but I would surely let my children watch nudity much rather than violent and stupid movies and TV shows.

Sensuality is procreative. And, it's not the same as pornography and vulgarity. In line with our *great Indian values*, parents hesistate to hug and kiss each other before their children, but they'll happily exchange swear words and violence before all.

Think for yourself, before jumping onto a hypocritical bandwagon.

hmmm.... wud u want ur child to hav a family once he grows up or u want him to become a physco tht hunts hands

This new kind of disgusted me rather than shock or surprise.

We have such a concerned government which cares enough for us to block sites, block channels, decide what is moral and what is immoral while we continue to suffer low internet speeds, high price of commodities, power failures, crappy roads, lack of justice and what not. I guess the government needs something to occupy itself so blocking channels and sites fills their time.

I agree Yamaraj. I'd rather have them watch AXN than the politicians' violent behavior in Assemblies and Parliament and their disgusting criminal activities. Just as you said, sensuality and affection is a taboo and immoral while domestic violence and curses are seen as normal. No wonder the Hippocritic society sees violence and greed as show of power and commands great respect and reverence.

 

[blackpearl]

Lets stop this nudity versus psycho-killer fight. Actually both are unsuitable for young children. But the question is does the govt have the right to dictate to us what to see and what not to? Thats what parents are for. AS soham pointed out most of these so called "indecent" programs are aired after 2300hrs when most children are supposed to be in bed. So why stop adults from watching a few hot programs it they want to? What will the govt do next, ban sex?

 

[Aberforth]

No no, put a luxury tax on sex.

 

[rahul_becks23]

well , how can they ban sex...............

 

[ssdivisiongermany1933]

Who is goverment to teach us Moral things ,it's Upto us what should we watch or not
__________
govt of india is self made moral police

 

[rahul_becks23]

absolutely right

 

[Aberforth]

well , how can they ban sex...............

Well they can't but they can tax it. Read my above post.

 

[shaunak]

Rubbish. This shows how incompetent the Indian Government is. Why dont they try and block all the porn websites present in the world wide web.

I distinctly remember they tried to ban orkut once.

 

[Aberforth]

They not only tried they did. Many people complained not being able to access social networking sites like Myspace and Orkut. Hopefully they are working now at least for most...the ridiculous claim was Pakistani govt. paid the posters to post anti-India messages in Orkut which had me buckling in laughter at the sanity of our own government.

 

[24online]

they r not educated... they r literate... so they want to create influence of their power to ordinary indian ppl... our political parties always want to participate in all issues for their publicity....

In future, remember, internet sites will be banned....like torrent or rapidshare...

b/s we have no options in choosing parties...b/s all r l**khas.. otherwise we have to create our party... like Think India like Yuva
