Ffs, really? Is an attractive woman showing cleavage actually harming anyone? Is anyone really trying to say that this will impress so much upon their (female) kids that it will turn them into Geordie Shore slags? Erm, sensible parenting would be the answer. If kids turn out like *****, it's probably a good reflection of the parents.

Then again, if the tv is the babysitter and biggest guide in the kids life, lacking moral direction from the parents and assuming tv is the an example of how to live then yeah maybe a point there. The Victorians must have had it right!

Get a bloody grip. So bored of hearing the cry of "oh, think of the children!"

For all the Kenny Everett, Benny Hill and Emannuel shows I saw as a kid, I only ever ended up burying but a few chopped up hookers in the woods....
If she was completely naked and being spit roasted by Tom Jones and Will.I.Am pre-watershed, then fair enough, complain. I don't get offended when I see women out in public showing cleavage, nor is there anyone to complain to - even if there was, would they care or listen?

Just because I think it's ok for a woman to wear clothing she is happy in, doesn't mean it's ok for men to perve in front of their other half. That is just bad manners.

My other half has commented on her *****, funnily enough, I've never gone crying to the BBC or ITV about it.

Like I said previously, I'm on the fence on this one and thought nothing of it, but it was revealing enough for my daughters commented on it. I'm not passing judgement on anyone's parenting ability or their moral guidance, but if I did, well then I'd start with the closet homophobes on here who deem it unsuitable for their sons to see two blokes kissing, though presumably would have no issue with their son's seeing two girls kissing, I'm just speculating here.

Based on the comments made by my daughters, who are at a very impressionable age, and the resultant discussion afterwards, I explained that they shouldn't have to accept that it's okay for females to be sexualised and objectified, case point being proven by the majority of the comments on this thread typifying this. If that makes me a bad parent, well then I hold my hand up. But just so we're clear I made no complaints, all I'm saying a little modesty would not have gone a miss.....if that is little too difficult for some of you to understand, well then I f*cking give up...........

This cleavage business is a controversial one. Kids know what breast is because they feed on it from day one as infants. It's just that when they start to grow up, their minds get corrupted (blame environment for that in which other corrupted mind adults live), and then boob display becomes a problem. I think the ones that are offended are the adults. I don't think children give moneys to Holly's ***** tbh. They must have even forgotten them by now. Ok, they might have said - "Look daddy (or mummy, or even nana)! I can see that big-mouth lady's *****!" So what. it doesn't mean they are going to have nightmares about them. They may have nightmares about her giant mouth, though.

Mrs SWRTWannabe looked at the picture of the lovely Holly and said "What are they complaining about, you can't see her nips can you?"

Apparently, the response "I dunno, I'm still checking" wasn't appropriate.

I think we need more pics of cleavage so as to be able to make a comparison as to what is an acceptable amount of cleavage to have on show and what is Totally unacceptable.

All in the interest of further discussion of course.

Where's Jamo when you need him.
