It's not exactly the most fantastic inflation scene ever, but it was mainstream, prime-time British telly, so that kind of makes it special. There was a lesbian wedding on BBC-1's 'Casualty' at the weekend where one of the wives was heavily pregnant, so her three bridesmaids and her wife-to-be all stuffed vinyl inflatables up their dresses for empathy's sake. There were rubbery balloony noises involved too. Here are a couple of screencaps:

It also got me thinking. What would happen if they covered a medical emergency like a ruptured colon or stomach from an inflation fetishist? It would publicise it but presumably also demonise it. Would we want that sort of publicity?
I presume we're talking entirely hypothetical here, because I can't really see Casualty covering the fetish-related-injury topic on prime-time TV.
There tends to be a lot of concern on these forums of whether something bad will draw publicity and give a negative view of the fetish to people learning for the first time that such a thing exists, like people worrying that some serial killer or will turn out to have the fetish.
Personally I feel that if such a thing happened, most people wouldn't care a lot, unless the media were dead intent on drawing the parallel between a fetish and negative outcomes... but plenty of people have fetishes and know fine well it doesn't make them deranged.
Also I kind of don't really care, my fetish is private so if something happened that had people talking about it in a negative manner, I might feel slight discomfort but it wouldn't change anything, I'm not about to tell anyone what I get up to in my private time.
