Later in the same episode, a clip was shown of macaroni and cheese being stirred in a pot. A young man in the clip compared the squishy noise with “what good p***y sounds like.” That also was translated into French subtitles.

The episode also contained two instances when the f-word was uttered. Someone in a clip said, “Ah, for f*** sakes,” and one of the hosts described a clip showing a bizarre art installation as “f***ing creepy.”

The show contained no viewer advisories, but did post a 13+ icon on the screen for nine seconds near the start of the show.

The complainant, who says she was “shocked” to discover her two children, ages 8 and 11, watching the show, sent a complaint to the broadcast standards council on the same day.

“It is the height of vulgarity,” she wrote.

In a decision issued Oct. 19, the council’s french-language panel said the dildos shown in the clip, while “not in the best taste,” were used mainly as props and not “sufficiently explicit” to constitute a violation.

The council said in order for a scene to be deemed “explicit sexual content” — and relegated to nighttime viewing — it has to show actual sexual acts or conversations that describe such acts in detail. The council said the macaroni clip similarly failed to meet that criteria.

As for the language, the council said there have been times when it deemed the use of the f-word to be inappropriate, but this was not one of those occasions.

The primary language of the show is French and the f-word in French “does not have the vulgar connotation it can have in English,” the council wrote. The adjudicators said they were willing to accommodate the word if it was infrequently used and not used as an insult against an individual or group.

MusiquePlus was not completely absolved of wrongdoing. The council found the show failed to post a viewer advisory at the start of the show and out of commercial breaks mentioning the coarse language and sexual content. And the 13+ icon at the beginning of the show was not displayed for the required 15 seconds.

The broadcaster now has the proper advisories in place, the ruling said.
