So, what's your complaint?

Article Abstract:

Complaints about material used in broadcasting and advertising in the UK used to focus on portrayals of sexual behaviour. However, there are now far fewer complaints on this subject. Instead, new subjects which cause offence have emerged. These include gender stereotyping, the exploitation of animals and lack of balance. People have become accustomed to portrayals of violence or extreme sexual behaviour, but have become more aware of the need to respect the sensitivities of others.

Jack Nicholson loves him. The public adores him. His erotic art has made him millions and his posters outsell Van Gogh and Star Wars. So why is Jack Vettriano so bitter?

Article Abstract:

Artist and former miner Jack Vettriano does not regret the fact that his 'The Singing Butler' is the best-selling poster in the UK. However, he admits that he cannot bear to see it too often and that he is haunted by it. He does not feel entirely at ease with his commercial success, but does not plan to scale down poster sales. He believes that the hostile reaction he has attracted from critics is attributable to his subject matter - sex - rather than to his artistic ability.

Women with clout want Page Three out

Article Abstract:

There is growing pressure on the Sun newspaper to reconsider its Page Three feature, which always shows a scantily-clad young woman. Rebekah Wade, the newspaper's deputy editor, believes that showing submissive naked women is sexist and old-fashioned and, most importantly, will not attract female readers. In contrast, traditionalists feel that dropping the Page Three feature could have a negative impact on the newspaper's sales.
