Report: Gay Kissing Banned Today!

Letting Children be Children - Report of an Independent Review of the Commercialisation and Sexualisation of Childhood is published today.
This is the fabled "Brookside lesbian kiss ban" report which says nothing of the sort, and has provoked some of the most monumentally stupid press "reporting" Fagburn can ever recall.
Which continues today.

Here are its recommendations.

These are just recommendations and are not government legislation.

We have already seen a silly press release from various retailers saying they won't sell "inappropriate" paedophilic childrens' clothes.
Well done various retailers - a brave stand!

The Tories believe businesses should be self-regulating, so Fagburn suspects all that will happen is that corporations - not the government - announce they will "take action" ie do fuck all about a media-driven moral panic no-one really cares about.

My guesses; music DVDS will no longer be exempt from classification (now being mis-reported as a "ban on sex videos" on TV), "lad mags'" and gay mags will be covered up by more retailers (as fagburn has warned), and a wonderfully meaningless "restricting outdoor adverts containing sexualised imagery where large numbers of children are likely to see them, for example near schools, nurseries and playgrounds."
They will still be allowed where small numbers of children are likely to see them, one presumes.
Or anywhere else large numbers of children are likely to see them - ie everywhere.
Oh and the government will set up another of their pointless websites so people can complain about "stuff" - I hope someone proposes a ban on children marrying horses.
The Daily Mail - who began the NONSENSE that this independent report meant there'd be a ban on gay kisses on TV - illustrated with several photos of lesbians kissing - today claims there will be a "pre-watershed crackdown on smut", illustrated with some smutty photos you can see above.
Hilariously Bailey's report doesn't mention "smut" in the tabloids.
What an avalanche of effluence, hypocrisy and stupidity this story has unleashed.
Well done all!

You can read the report here - more from Fagburn when he has properly, and on today's coverage.

Update: On Tuesday The Sun polled its readeers asking if they were concerned about "the sexualisation of culture" and "raunchy vids sexualising kids". Lead showbiz story?
Update2: Actually most tabloids and some broadsheets have run comment about the Bailey report alongside "smutty" photos...
