I've just realised she's Baga Chipz (derogatory).
Serving Kant is her advice to all future employeesShe’s so recruitment consultant coded we should’ve known.
The sane reaction is to pretend you have no idea what they are talking about.A HINGED colleague in the office was talking about this this morning!
Was your response 'I've got a secret you should know, come a little closer, whisper slow...'A HINGED colleague in the office was talking about this this morning!
The “it’s just a word” in Maltese justification is so disingenuous and I’m sure will be used a lot to no avail. She’s literally saying - repeatedly - SERVING KANT. If it were just a word in a song that happened to sound like something else they could get around it but the context is enough for the BBC and RTE to not even contemplate broadcasting it.I absolutely see no problem with it, the spokesperson will tell Kant is maltese for singing during the postcard and that's it. She could be singing fingering my clit and still be random incomprehensible english to the vast majority of viewers.
Sweetie don’t give me that baloney - you and her know full well what is going on here.She ISN'T singing Cunt.
Oh it is done entirely knowingly but it is right there in the title of the song.Sweetie don’t give me that baloney - you and her know full well what is going on here.
To humour this for a second... there are different watershed rules for CUNT as well. You can't just say it like you can say FUCK after 9pm.What rule is she breaking though? She ISN'T singing Cunt.
Make sure she is after 9pm and the BBC should get away with it fine.
In my opinion we should put a lid on it and just send Heaven Sent - the joke has been made and we need to move onAnd what remedy is there? The whole arena is going to scream KANT at the (in)appropriate moments so short of cutting the audio feeds for the word they'll be broadcasting it anyway
Speaking for France here, you can say whatever you want any time in the day.Not to mention other countries who may have different rules! (Although I suspect may be more lax in my experience of seeing full on BOBS on daytime TV in Germany often a time)
I prefer Heaven Sent as a song. Though I prefer the drama over this even moreIn my opinion we should put a lid on it and just send Heaven Sent - the joke has been made and we need to move on
Well parents will just need to take some responsibility and teach their precious little angels some transcendental idealism then.The BBC isn’t really keen on cunt no matter what time of day, certainly not BBC One, and certainly not on ostensibly a family show that starts at 8pm.
Sincerely I've never seen so much cock in my life as I did on British TV when I was living in the UK, and it was on prime time. And it was the 00s. A few years later BBC had Majela Zeze Diamond coming out of an inflatable vagina on Big Brother. 25 years later, on the campest show on earth will they really have a problem with a playful naughty little lyric that sounds similar to female genitalia? Doesn't sound like the Britain I know and love.If it were just a word in a song that happened to sound like something else they could get around it but the context is enough for the BBC and RTE to not even contemplate broadcasting it.

It’s a different channel, but last week The Last Leg had Brian Cox on and he described Trump as a cunt several times. Adam Hills had to immediately apologise after each of them.To humour this for a second... there are different watershed rules for CUNT as well. You can't just say it like you can say FUCK after 9pm.
@Mary Whitehouse correct me if I'm wrong!
I remember from years ago, my mum having the same hatred of the word. Glad that Eurovision is something I no longer watch with family, though my parents do still tune in and my 10 year old niece watched for the first time last year, as I would be scared of her reactionBut it's not a "playful, naughty little" word in English. "Cunt" is absolutely the pinnacle, highest level of swearing you can manage in English. Many, many people who swear on a regular basis are absolutely massively offended by it. My Mother has always sworn, including regularly "fuck", but goes absolutely MAD if I say "cunt". I also cannot see how it can be allowed- "serving kant" is absolute bullshit- we all KNOW what's being said/ sung.
This is what I was alluding to before. "Kant" on its own could mean "singing" (if they really want to insist that it does). "Serving kant" clearly doesn't.In a weird say it’s almost the “serving” part that makes it problematic. I can see a world in which they let it slide if they translate the whole phrase into Maltese for example.
