Appealing to a younger crowd?

Well, we know now that things are not always as they are made out to be. On Big Brother Uncut last week there was footage of what some pundits have called "sexual assault" with one of the male housemates taking out something he would have been better off keeping in his trousers, and waving it around in an inappropriate manner in the general vicinity of one of the female housemates. There was some comment about it in the press, especially in relation to the number of younger folk who saw the broadcast. Channel TEN, the broadcasters of Big Brother, have come out saying that they wouldn't encourage youngsters to view Uncut. So why was it, in last night's Sunday Eviction show (7.30pm - 8.40pm) that the host, when talking to the newly-ousted Michael (aka the waver), made reference to the incident - without going into details - and saying that they'd discuss this controversial event in tonight's Uncut. Now, if that isn't advertising, I'm not sure what is.
