WWF Fully Loaded is only a few weeks away, and the UK's most gratuitous terrestrial station, Channel 4 look unlikely to change their editing ways on WWF programming.

Back in January, at the Royal Rumble, held at Madison Square Garden, New York, we were treated to a live Royal Rumble with only a mere three advert breaks. Only of these interrupted the action, which was during Rock's interview. It was almost too good to be true. But, some felt the need to complain, like babies, that getting a 3 hour PPV, for FREE, with a piddling 3 advert breaks, was enough to break their world apart. And guess what? I hope they got what they bargained for - at Backlash, they earned themselves ad breaks after almost every match, a 50-minute delay, noticeable edits including a mosaic effect over a good blade job, and a freeze-frame when Trish Stratus went through a table.

"Channel 4 sucks" websites are being set up all around the web. The best, at http://go.to/c4willpay, points out that a Channel 4 employee states that the channel "do not believe in broadcasting this kind of violence at any time", hinting at violence against women. My question to you is, why do you allow your successful soap-opera Hollyoaks, to feature a man beating his wife, to a wide audience of teenyboppers? Yet WWF PPV's are screened at 2.00am, yet they aren't allowed to show a woman's body going through a table? Why is Ali G tackling such topics as racism on your channel? Why is South Park, a show "aimed at older teens", drawing in the largest younger teen audience since your other controversial show, The Word (ending in 1995)? You guys are smoking something potent, there is no doubt about that. And I thought Channel 5 was bad.

And this is not all. Today I visited their website, at www.channel4.co.uk. This is a site for all ages, and they're publishing a feature called Generation Sex, a feature which asks for attitudes towards sex in young people. This is not young as in over 16+, but from the ages of 12! Giving free advice away to children this young, in such a glamorous way, makes my skin crawl - what's more harmful - watching a woman sorta go through a compressed table at 2 in the morning, or giving sex advice to kids, as young as 12 - risking them of getting all sorts of sexually transmitted diseases, almost persuading them to go out there and get into bed with the nearest tramp to them. Take a look, there's an A-Z of sex available to all kinds of kids - do you honestly think younger kids of 6, AREN'T going to be tempted? There's advice on everything, including swallowing. Now I've not exactly the perfect kid who didn't watch 18 films until it was legal, or stuck by what my parents have said - but influencing sex (I don't know if it was intended to be this way, but it certainly seems it) to kids this young, makes me wonder what world we live in today.

This is not a proper company. This is not a proper television station. This is a group of drunken football fans, those that caused the riots at Euro 2000, trying to do their best to piece together a set of programs that actually work. Hypocrites. Like preachers, telling people to be a go to church, praise god, and commit no sins - yet when they go home they beat their wives and children, sleep with a porn star, and strain their wrist over a copy of Country Life (good gag, I know).

Channel 4 will still have the contract with the WWF until the start of next year. However, I am very sure the contract will be extended, with the high ratings of Heat, Royal Rumble, and Backlash. People are still tuning in, despite all the edits. Those who want all WWF PPV's moved back to Sky Sports will be lucky, don't expect it happen anytime soon.

Well thanks for reading this rant. As you'll remember I did Metal every week until I left Cable & Wireless (now Ntl). Like Channel 4, they suck.
