Well, someone complained to the Independent Television Commission:
Channel: CHANNEL U
Date & time: Wednesday 19 March: 12.15pm
Complaint from: 3 viewers
Issue
Three viewers complained that a series of unsuitable music videos, including 'Windowlicker' by Aphex Twin, were broadcast around midday. These videos included scenes of nudity, swearing, violence and drug-taking.
Assessment
Channel U explained that a technical failure resulted in videos classified for broadcast only after 10pm being shown during the day (the ITC also received complaints about unsuitable advertising shown at the same time). Channel U very much regretted this error and confirmed it had immediately amended its systems to avoid a repetition of this incident.
The ITC accepted Channel U's explanation and its apology. Nevertheless the videos were unsuitable for broadcast at this time and had caused offence.
Conclusion
There was a breach of Section 1.2 of the Programme Code (family viewing policy).

Hmm, unless they showed the uncensored version, there wouldn't be any swearing...
no nudity, no drug taking either as I recall, or violence (comical car crash aside).
Seems some old fogey has nothing better to do than watch daytime TV. They deserve all they get }:D

Some of the language in the video is quite "blue".

i think it's more funny than unsuitable

Whatever way you slice it, the video is quite disturbing and at 12:15pm I do feel it is unsuitable viewing. I for one would not like my 5 year old niece to view it, for example.
What the fuck is channel u, anyway?

One of the 20 or so music channels on Sky Digital.
I'm just glad there's a channel out there actually showing an Aphex Twin video!
