No idea, but it's not their responsibility to make a stand. It would be great if they did. But you can't criticise harshly if they didn't.
If it was me? I think I would have. I'd like to think I would have.

Here's an example. I really can't get my head around those pyjama-type striped trousers bodybuilders often wear in public. I think they look pretty stupid.
If I went up to some 20 stone bloke wearing them and made fun of him for wearing them should I complain if he smacks me out for it? He wouldn't be right in doing that however my making fun of his choice of clothing would be unlikely to get a smile and high-5 from him.
Should he get a sense of humour or be aware that wearing odd stuff like that opens him up to ridicule? Hell yes of course.

Absolutely correct.
But would say then that the BBC should issue guidance not to take the piddle out of body builders? From now on, no more funny photos of body builders on HIGFY?
