    Holly's Willoughboobies too much

    BBC apologises over Holly Willoughby dress

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-23065542

    Really? I thought it was a very nice dress indeed.

    139 complaints from an estimated 8.9 million viewers - so that'll be 0.000015618% then - or 8,899,861 happy viewers! (But not me - The voice seems to be one gimmick laden talent show too far)

    The dress is symptomatic of the nuclear age though -






    it has a high risk of fall-out!

    Ridiculous. At least the beebs half apology defended her.
    It added the dress "was glamorous and wholly appropriate for the occasion.
    Yup.

    Re: Holly's Willoughboobies too much

    Its a shame BBC have to take these complaints seriously, I mean come on! Any other channel would of laughed its ass off... MTV would of probably public tried to humiliate the people who complained.

    Sigh. Some people just complain because their life is so meaningless.

    Holly in that dress is the only part of that show I wouldn't complain about.

    Re: Holly's Willoughboobies too much

    I saw this earlier today, I think it's pretty ridiculous.

    I didn't see the show, but I'm pretty sure the camera wouldn't sit there zoomed in on them so anyone claiming they didn't want their children/families to have boobs shoved in their faces are just making a fuss over nothing.

    Sure she could have worn something more conservative, but I wouldn't consider it over the line.
    I think if most companies had a complain rate that low they'd be pretty happy

    I think the dress looks great. She's a beautiful woman; what's the problem?

    I'd love to see the state of the complainants.

    Re: Holly's Willoughboobies too much

    If we keep this going, as well as the nearly 9 million viewers that didn't complain, we could easily get 139 delighted supporters on this forum alone

    I feel very strongly that Holly should have the freedom to show her décolletage. The grand masters had no issue with the female form and no-one complains about that nudity.

    Re: Holly's Willoughboobies too much

    The dress? Maybe a tad revealing .... but it's a gala-type event. What do these complainants really expect? And have they ever watched the costumes in Strictly?

    I also thought the apology was great.
    We're sorry if some viewers found Holly's dress to be unsuitable ...."
    strikes me as being PR code for "we're sorry if a handful of sorry prudes that ought to have lived in Victorian England need to get a life", and is tantamount to saying but the rest of the millions of viewers certainly didn't get uppity about it.

    And Holly .... in the unlikely event you happen to see this, great dress, great figure, so if you've got it, flaunt it. Go, girl, and never mind the party poopers.

    ....
    Make that easily 140.

    They're almost enough to make me wish I'd watched the show. Almost.
