Ofcom has criticised 엠티비 for airing a 작살, 공연 where Lady Gaga used the word “motherfucker”, while letting the BBC off the hook for broadcasting formula one champion Jenson Button saying “fuck”.
엠티비 aired a 30-minute performance 의해 Lady Gaga as part of a broadcast of the Isle of 엠티비 음악 festival, which took place last summer. The show went out on 2 November at 4pm. Ofcom received a complaint that that the word “motherfuckers” was aired at a time when children could be watching.
엠티비 apologised, and said that a mistake at the company’s Italian offices had resulted in the replacement of its edited soundtrack with the original. 엠티비 broadcast an on-air apology. Ofcom ruled that the show was in breach of rule 1.14 of the broadcasting code which states that the most offensive language must not be broadcast before the 9pm watershed.
However, Ofcom has cleared the BBC over its broadcast of a post-race conversation between formula one drivers, on the afternoon of 1 November, which featured Button swearing. As in the 엠티비 case, one viewer complained that the language was inappropriate given that the Abu Dhabi grand prix was broadcast in the daytime and Jenson swore at 12.10pm.
The BBC said that the post-race coverage was provided 의해 formula one management and therefore the corporation had “limited control over the output and the conduct of the drivers”. The BBC also said that the majority of viewers would understand that live coverage of the “highly charged atmosphere” may lead to the occasional strong language. The BBC also pointed out that the programme commentator apologised on-air at the time, the word was used in “non-aggressive, friendly banter” and that it was removed from replays offered on the iPlayer.
Ofcom said that it accepted that live broadcasting poses “special compliance challenges”, especially when dealing with coverage from a third party. Ofcom ruled that the issue was “resolved”.
“Ofcom notes that the BBC does ask formula one to remind drivers to take care not to swear and that the BBC plans to reduce the risk of a similar incident happening again,” it said in its ruling. “In light of these factors, including the context and tone of this use of strong language, Ofcom has decided that the matter is resolved.”

I want your whisky mouth
All over my blonde south
Red wine and cheap perfume
And a filthy shout
Tonight bring all your 프렌즈
Because a group does it better
Why river with a pair
Let’s have a full house and leather
Ooh-ooh-ooh-who-who
Who-who-who ooh-who-who
Who who
Heavy Metal Lover
Ooh-ooh-ooh-who-who
Who-who-who ooh-who-who
Who who
Heavy Metal Lover
Dirty 조랑말 I can’t wait to hose 당신 down
You’ve got to earn your leather in this part of town
Dirty pearls and a patch for all the Rivington Rebels
Let’s raise hell in the streets drink 맥주 and get into trouble
I could be your girl girl girl girl girl girl
But would 당신 사랑 me if I ruled the world world world
Oooooo
Heavy Metal Lover
Whip me slap me, drunk funk
New York clubbers, bump drunk
Budlite, liquors, bar slam
Wash the night, with St. J-ameson
Like a baptism
Heavy metal 연인들 play
Because we were born this way
All over my blonde south
Red wine and cheap perfume
And a filthy shout
Tonight bring all your 프렌즈
Because a group does it better
Why river with a pair
Let’s have a full house and leather
Ooh-ooh-ooh-who-who
Who-who-who ooh-who-who
Who who
