The Media Guardian reports that a series of documentaries about masturbation scheduled for next month have been pulled from the channel's schedule and may be broadcast outside a themed week at a later date.
The three films included Masturbation for Women, in which three women "experience the revolutionary masturbation tutorials of Dr. Betty Dodson, the world's first orgasm coach"; I Can't Stop Wanking, described as "an entertaining, thoughtful and moving film" that follows two men addicted to masturbation; and a film that follows the organisers and participants of last year's Masturbate-a-Thon in London.
So, autopsy - OK, human disection - OK, mock presidential assassination - OK, celebrity racism - OK, but masturbation - no way!
I used to think that nothing was sacred for Channel 4 but it seems that i'm wrong.

Well, I'm pretty sure it's not week long TV specials about hand shandies.

Interesting... what actually is the 'real purpose of life'?

I have to say that this scrapes the bottom of the barrel. But, no doubt I will be proved wrong in time.
I wish these so-called creative geniuses would put their collective imaginations together to come up with a show that actually gets people thinking about the real purpose of life and not perpetuate the disease of shallowness that western 'civilisation' now has.

You have to wonder if these idiots who run TV studios do these things just for the publicity, or to actually make good shows.
To think that someone got paid to come up with the idea of 'wank week'.
