Since Most Haunted Live is on TV at the moment I thought I should bring this to everyones attention. During a "Live" link Karl Beattie used possibly the worst and most disgusting language anyone can use on the TV. "Go f*ck yourself you silly little c*nt" What makes it worse is the time this aired and the fact that many children watch Most Haunted, especially at Halloween. After you have watched the video you need to complain to OFCOM www.ofcom.org.uk/complain/progs/specific/?itemid=286480Afterall this was aired on "Live" TV to litterally hundreds of viewers at home. To watch the video and Karls half arsed apology Click HerePlease do complain to ofcom using the link above. If someone can post the OFCOM link on the MH Forums that would be very good.

I am no prude, but I have often wondered why they need to swear, as you don't hear them on the likes of Taps talking every few minutes like that

How someone as classy and as erodite as Evette Fielding ever got involved with that roadsweeper i will never know. Carl is the ultimate spong - he has no talent, he has no personality, his chill-factor is zero and he's a complete knob; he's aggressive, controling, manipulative and his brains (if he has any) are stuffed up his backside. Don't get me wrong i've got nothing against him, but i just can't see what she see's in him.

Personally I think they should be kicked off TV for the sick sh*t they're about to perform. Sick MFs! SICK SICK SICK!

There was only one 'silly little idiot' I could see on that apology and he was sitting on the stage. There's no excuse for that kind of language to be used when it has the potential to be broadcast to MH's impressionable audience.

My thoughts are this, why complain about swearing to ofcom when other people are ripping the general public off by trying to speak to the dead for money? if I do complain to ofcom about Karl Beattie's swearing what would ofcom actually do?

They are never going to do anything about the ripping off aspect. MH have got it covered under the 'entertainment only' disclaimer - safe as. NOT complaining will do even less. If no one reports it, how will ofcom know there's an issue?
If this is a way to bring to people's attention the true nature of MH then so be it. Remember Al Capone - they couldn't get him for murder and extortion etc, which they KNEW he was guilty of, so they had to get him on tax evasion instead? Get my point?
Besides which, I genuinely did think it was disgusting, the swearing and the hanging was irresponsible and stupid and it gets my goat the way this lot have the arrogance to assume they can get away with it, as if they consider themselves some kind of t.v royalty. Why should they? And if this is allowed to go unchecked then what next? They're always banging on about witches; maybe they'll replicate a burning at the stake. Would that be acceptable? What about trial by water (the drowning/not drowning thing?) Maybe a spot of pressing or the iron maiden or the rack? I genuinely wouldn't wish it on them or anyone, but if they are not very, very careful they are going to end up experiencing a very nasty accident. Or, worse still, some idiot member of the public will try to emulate their (badly chosen) role models and copy them in an attempt to 'contact the dead, with potentially fatal consequences. As Jon stated, kid watch this show - and since it's billed as entertainment only and there are no warnings as such as to content, why shouldn't they? Thing is, MH have wanted both the penny and the bun for a long time now, and the fact is that just can't last, one way or the other.
And apart from all that, it's just plain irresponsible and stupid. Did I already say that?

I think doing a fake hanging in the name of entertainment is also a bit sick

edited to ask what day did this happen on as Ofcom want the date it was aired. He was talking to one of several prank callers Amaris.....all the locations numbers were easily available on the net and a couple of forums not to mention yellow pages yet the "brave crew" didnt think to take them off the hook then for the first few nights it happened made out as if it was "paranormal" Hysterically at one point when Ciaran(who now has lost the last shred of credibility he was clinging to) picked up a ringing phone he claimed he could "hear yvettes voice " coming back through the phone and seemed to think this was "strange" .....slightly worrying that the "scientific" bod on the show couldnt even work out that it was of course yvettes voice from the tv the prank caller was watching in the background. It wasnt until Potty mouth had his little "episode" that they made any mention of it obviously being prank callers each night.

Ciaran(who now has lost the last shred of credibility he was clinging to) I've been meaning to ask about this...why is Mr O'Keefe still appearing on the programme? I've seen videos of him mocking it and proudly announcing its all fake bullsh*t. So why is he back on and why are MH allowing him back?

Because he a real parapsychologist, unlike Phil Whyman, thereforethe idea is that he adds legitimacy, plus they pay him lots of cash to appear.
There are very very few real skeptics out there who do not take the cash when it is thrown at them.

Can you point me in the direction of these videos of Keiran lovelyyoungman?
I saw that one of Stewart talking about his manly prowess, was a right laugh.

Personally speaking I think Karl's response was premeditated, he had several seconds to listen to the prank caller so therefore chose to use vile words despite his claims that using such words are against his morals. I do not believe for one second he didn't realise he could be heard as he moved the camera away from his face to say them words & even if he didn't realise he could be heard, how rubbish of a producer/director/thingy is he to not understand that the guy with the microphone & maybe the camera was recording sound?
I found his apology even more appalling. He couldn't just apologise, he had to insult the 'uncuddled attention seeker'. What do you call the audience members that fainted & become emotional? Oh that's right, paying attention seekers
Lastly, does anyone know if Karl's claim that people have to wait 5 years to get on the show to be correct?
I shall be complaining, for all that it's worth
*Edited for mistakes I noticed

Can you point me in the direction of these videos of Keiran lovelyyoungman? I'm fairly certain I saw it on the Bad Psychics News section but I can't find it in the brief search that I did. It was seemingly covert footage of him mocking the MH team during a university lecture. Maybe Jon has a better idea where it is?

I know which one you mean, although cant remember where it is. I did have it on BP< but Ciaran asked me to remove it for obvious reasons. It is on youtube if you can find it

This was the white noise radio interview where C O'K answers "why do you continue to work with people you know to be fraudulent" .
Can't find the video clip though that was asked for ....nothing on Youtube so far.
