Do Not Watch Live Earth Before The Watershed, Or Flood

LIVE Earth! Do not read before 9pm. Notes the Indy:

The BBC has been accused of a “serious breach” of its guidelines for broadcasting swearing before the watershed at last summer’s Live Earth concert.

The Editorial Standards Committee of the BBC Trust warned that, in the future, the corporation would be expected to avoid a recurrence of bad language broadcast at live events. It also said an explanation given by BBC management to the audience over the swearing was “unacceptable”.

Madonna, Johnny Borrell, Chris Rock and Phil Collins all swore between 1.58pm and the end of the live show, prompting nearly 150 complaints. The word “fuck” was broadcast three times, and the words “motherfucking” and “fucking” were each broadcast once.

It’s Mother Fucking’ Nature, man…
