View Full Version : apology for porn error
ITV has apologised for an episode of Emmerdale which featured a pornographic website.
An eagle-eyed viewer complained after finding that the address, seen on-screen in the March 31 episode, directed to a less than reputable homepage.
After investigating, TV regulator Ofcom said today: "We accept that this was an entirely unintentional error. Given the steps taken by the licensee, we consider the matter resolved."
A spokeswoman for the soap said: "Viewers didn't see the site on screen, just the URL. The website was intended to be fictional but a genuine error was made. We apologise for any offence caused."
It's a disgrace, axe it now!!! :D
they should never of done it anyway
So someone logged on to double check??!!!
There are some strange people about
This is such a joke, why should they apologise? The made up a URL, unfortunately it already existed as a porn site but they didn't show any of the site - what is the fuss about?

It's a disgrace, axe it now!!! :D It was just a simple mistake. I myself saw that episode and was curious to know if the website used was indeed a real one. And found something unappropriate, but it hasn't caused any harm to anyone. I can't see 5-13 year olds typing the URL and finding a porn site. The people responsible have apologised, so let's leave it at that. :rolleyes:

No this is too terrible :p
it could of been a child porn site
Exactly, somebody could be using that website now thanks to them and even worse things could happen.
they could of been Responsible for more kids been Abused makes me sick thinking about it
are you all for real jesus christ grow up
just Voicing our opinion nothing wrong with that is there?
its no big deal so what they made a mistake its not serious and whoever complained really needs to get a life
People could be in danger now thanks to this one website. I am allowed to voice my opinion without you belittling it.

It kind of is a bit serious.. I would not like my kids to look at porn site which they would not have gotten if it was not for an error on Emmerdales part...
well kids will see a porn site eventually one way or another and walford queen people be in danger are you having a girrafe LOL
No I'm not, if somebody e-mails the webmaster and gets invited to meet them, it could be a seedy photographer or anything.
All you have to do is google the word porn and your away. I could understand it if it was a kids TV programme, but it's not.
If some one underage want to look at porn on the net they are not going to to it via a website they saw on emerdale
It's a disgrace, axe it now!!! :D
Change of opinion WQ?
Nope, no change of opinion. As a mother myself I cannnot condone this. I may have to keep my own children away from the TV during Emmerdale, I cannot risk them memorising any dodgy website URL's and going on them when they are older :)

Thats true i was looking for something on google and it came up with a porn site
yeah it always doing that to me! drives me bananas
Yep so their hardley going to memorise a URL address from Emmerdale, there's no need to go to that much effort. Also with all the perental blocks you can put on computer now a days there's no need to be concerned
I once was typing to fast when I was looking for the Hilton hotel group, I was just guessing addresses and I transposed the t and l.
I transferred to a hard porn site.
something tells me that if ee had made the same mistake you wouldnt have the same views on it wq? :)

I most certainly would. I know EastEnders would never do that.
but it was an honest mistake so ee could quite easily do it!
EastEnders check their episodes in great depth and they check anything like that before transmissioning an episode.

Oh well accidents happen, it ain't that bad, atleast they didn't actually show the web site

Nah this is bad and could lead to another human being endangered.
I really doubt it.
You could say that for alot of storylines in soap land

Someone could go on the website email the website saying they want to be a part of it and it could lead them down a bad path in their life.
