Semi-nude volleyball girls raise viewer’s hackles

RTÉ must have thought their report on the fundraising calendar of the Newbridge girls’ volleyball team would have gone down a treat.

But it’s hard to please all of the people all of the time.

One outraged Nationwide viewer wrote: “this 2004 calendar featuring simple and innocent local young girls semi-nude is one of the forms of stealth attack upon the intelligence of our society. This tells all young and old that a bad deed done in the name of a good cause is acceptable. I think we have been down that road before. With devastating consequences for the nation as whole.”
