apology for porn error

[chance]

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."

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 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.
