‘This Morning’ Shocks A Nation With Bondage Re-Enactment
Yesterday, This Morning, ITV's flagship breakfast show, long a favourite of bored housewives, bunking school kids and bong addled students, managed to raise a few eyebrows with a section entitled 'Bondage for Beginners'. FILTH! Screamed twitter, although, as it turned out, watching 'sexpert' Annabelle Knight thrust face masks, nipple clamps, and cock ticklers into the withered, leathery grasp of Phillip Schofield, whilst a lingerie clad couple writhed on a bed in the background, was by far the least erotic thing British screens have seen since this 1970s beard-having genius broke down Non-Euclidian Geometry on the Open University. You can watch the This Morning depravity below. I wish I could say NSFW, but c'mon. I mean, it's hardly Charlie 'hot stuff' Dimmock gardening.
That didn't stop the complaints rolling in, with around 50 disgruntled viewers dialing Ofcom to voice their outrage, and, what I believe is known as a 'twitter storm' emerging on social media, featuring such gems as
Bondage for Beginners Masterclass on #ThisMorning – I'm sat here with my parents. I'm 38. I'm dying inside. Slowly.

Dude. You're on the sofa, in the daytime with your parents. Your 38. I think there's more you need to address than bondage on This Morning.
Still, it could be worse, you could, instead, be this charmer:
Who is that badly painted Tarty #Brass talking about Bondage on #ThisMorning? Fuck Off woman!

OK, not actually sure what Stan's issue is – the bondage? The 'sexpert'? A raging and constant red mist of horniness? All I know is that my man hashtags 'Brass', and I find that terrifying.
This campaigner for justice has got a different problem:
If they did a piece on men's wank toys there would be outrage. Why is it okay to show women's reactions to their wanks. #itv #thismorning

I blame the FemiNazis Dick! Vote UKIP!
OK, and finally, I'm not actually sure if this next one is in reference to the bondage section. Jesus I hope not.
#thismorning PMSL! At Phil and Christine with choc all round their mouths!

Pervy sex? Bondage? Inappropriate day time activities? All we know is that this would never, ever have happened when Schofield was sitting in the Broom Cupboard at the BBC. That place has standards.
