Pinching bottom caution
« on: August 01, 2007, 05:35:02 PM »
Can't find the story on the web anywhere, but heard it on the J.V. show at lunchtime.
Some geezer apparently pinched the bottom of one of the Beebs tv reporters whilst she was reporting on the recent floods. She apparently reported the incident to the plod, who issued an official caution to this bloke.

FFS wumman. ::)  Count yourself lucky enough that someone found your arse attractive enough to commit such a henious crime.

I had me arse squeezed in a night club many years ago whilst doing me stuff on the dance floor, and NO, it wasn't by a geezer either. Turned around and there was a gang of girlies all just lookin' up at the ceiling.  whistle:
Bloody great it was, and I invited them to do it again. cloud9:

30 seconds on the BBC news site  point:

Quote
A man who pinched a Channel 4 News presenter's bottom during a live broadcast is being sought by police.
Sue Turton was speaking to the camera from Oxford's flood-hit Osney Island when the man was seen on film walking past her.

She said she found the incident "quite humiliating" but continued reporting. She does not wish to pursue the matter.

Police said they still intended to impose an ?80 fixed-penalty fine on the man under the Public Order Act.

Ms Turton said in a statement: "Many people found the incident in Oxford last week when a man pinched my bum live on Channel 4 News humorous.

"Thames Valley Police, however, saw it and asked for a taped copy in order to identify the culprit, suggesting that a charge of sexual assault could be considered.

"I've no desire to punish this man through the courts.

"But I did wonder, if I accepted such behaviour without complaint, what hope do women who are groped in public in this way have of any recourse?

'Public goosing'

"I personally found the matter quite humiliating and somewhat disrespectful to the plight of those I was reporting about.

"Male reporters would never be treated to a public goosing. Should the women of my profession not expect the same respect?"

A Thames Valley Police spokesman said: "Thames Valley Police is seeking to identify the individual with a view to dealing with him under the Public Order Act."

As well as being shown to a national television audience, the incident has been viewed thousands of times on video-sharing website YouTube.

His name is Rufus Burdett and he lives on Osney Island opposite the old Power Station where I work. All day he's had cameramen and reporters hanging around the front door. Rufus fancies himself as a Bohemian artist but we all think he's a bit of a w*****r mind you she hasn't stopped laughing all day.

I see an opportunity:

His name is DP Dance and he resides in many luxury pads around the globe.  He may presently be found jsut beneath Mr Pilkington in Reading.  It may be worth noting that Mr Dance was heavily disguised during this attack, his normal attire would be M&S Suit, Hush Puppy Loafers and a fetching cravat.

I too heard this on the wireless and had a piss boiling moment?

The police didn?t know the identity of the man, the reporter hadn?t complained yet they intended to pursue him and issue a ?80 fine ? how ludicrous can you get?

It?s like a scene from an Inspector Clouseau film where he concentrates on some minutiae while major crimes are being committed all around him. It is yet another major PR disaster for the police and defeat for common sense.

I think the reporter girl has shown true Christian principles by turning the other cheek and forgiving the chap.

Now, I am going to voice what will no doubt be an unpopular oppinion. Whilst I am for appreciation of a pert botton you really can't go around grabbing fistfuls of peoples flesh just because you feel like it. In a club, bar or pub a pinch of the bottom IMHO is fine. However, I really don't want to be in fear of bruising in that area just walking down the street in broad daylight. Was the reaction over zealous? Of course it was, but really come on chaps. One can't send the message that it's fine to grope women whenever you so feel like it.

I actually saw the clip as it was broadcast and I have to say she just carried on talking. Take more than a pinch on the bum to stop yer average TV wannabe star from talking on camera. Some would call it professionalism ~ me? I'd call it normal female behaviour.  ::)
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

If some drunken crack pot pinched my arse in the street I can assure you that ignoring him would be the last thought on my mind.  eveilgrin:

I agree Wenchy, It just shouldn't be done.
