Yeah.
Back in 1999, Simon Boyce, maybe beat that out.
It's on the public record.
Complained to television in New Zealand, the broadcaster, what he called gratuitous swearing on the program, which includes the use of the word,
Fuck.
Breached the good taste standard.
He complained about the episode, which he said, the usual contextless examples of gratuitous swearing for the first minute.
First minute, Jerry.
As for the 17th August episode, he noticed that Havoc called someone a fuckwit.
Highlight of the sequence, Mr. Boyce suggested, was the person spitting on a car.
Yeah.
Awesome.
Not upheld, by the way, that one.
Yeah, so how the BSA works is a member of the public needs to complain in the first instance, then internally...
Your company, so for us, NZME, they will then have a look at it themselves if it's passed on from the BSA and then decide whether to uphold it or not.
It's a pretty weird system as it is.
Yep, it is a weird system.
And with them binning the BSA, they want it to be entirely self-regulated, which it kind of is anyway.
Yeah, it's something that happens anyway.
So it's not going to be a huge change.
