Did he get banned? Can we have him back please?

Hours of fun reading those complaints

Liked this one:

Ad
A TV ad for durex Play O, a gel for women, depicted the facial expressions of a number of women who were experiencing sexual ecstasy but who appeared to be singing an aria. The ad closed with a pack shot while the voice-over said "Feel like never before. durex Play O. Pleasure enhancing gel for women. durex play. All you need".

The ad was cleared by Clearcast with a post-11pm timing restriction.

Issue
Two viewers, who saw the ad at approximately 10pm on Channel 4, challenged whether it was offensive and unsuitable for broadcast.

No, but I'll let you keep DTexas if you like.

Just as long as you promised to feed and clear up after him...

Nah, it's exactly the same type of glaringly obvious sockpuppet (according to other people, not me of course) that you should be stomping on as a Mod. Feel free to stomp on the sockmasters too.

Well if you know the sockmaster, do tell because I have no proof regarding who they are.

You end up banning people who turn out not to be sockies (I know I thought FBB was one).

What is this forums obsession/paranoia about "sockies" all about?
