I was just watching "I'm a celeb etc" and couldn't look while George Takei ate a kangaroo penis and was supposed to try and eat the camel testicles.

It got me wondering why the general public object to Chris Moyle's alluding to the suitability of eastern europeans as prostitutes but accept that a bloke on television is ok to put a dead animal's penis in his mouth.
Don't tell me it's ok because we eat meat. I don't think I know of a restaurant wher they serve kangaroo penis or any supermarket where it can be bought.
If they found and filmed some perfectly fit and sane bloke out in the Australian outback chewing on the body of a dead kangaroo with it's penis in his mouth I'm sure there'd soon be an outcry.
Would both he and the filming be seen as depraved? Would it be screened?


"The Obscene Publications Act"
definition:
The British Obscene Publications Act defines as obscene those publications which are 'likely to deprave or corrupt'. This immediately raises problems, of course. What is depravity? What is corruption? Who might be depraved or corrupted? Note that this is a definition of obscenity, not of pornography. It is presumably possible for a work to be pornographic but not obscene.

I personally don't consider it obscene.. these things are are obviously ok to eat and are eaten.
BUT I can see where you're coming from Alg!

It's call bush tacker trial has native Aborigine's eat that sort of thing but really i find it quite repulsive to watch i even feel like gagging with them but that's reality TV for you.

Just look at x factor i even feel like gagging watching Eoghan and Diana trying to sing tell you what let's do a harry hill TV burp which is worst Joe Swash gagging or Diana trying to sing rem.
