Oh I know that. But if Brass Eye's paedophilia satire didn't do it, if the nearly-live autopsy didn't do it, we're safe for awhile. Really, I'm comforted by the fact that so many people do seem to like the way we'll show any old bollocks on TV. I think for us it's less about sex/violence/bad taste and more other ways to offend- it's more offensive to say 'paki' on TV now than 'fuck', which I think is the way it probably should be... but you're right- one shitstorm. Probably won't be down to Janet's tit though. ;)
You know the last genuine taboo on British TV? The erect penis, apparently.
