Big Brother controversy
Not worth wasting much space on so I will put my post here:
Guardian today Article about racism
Can someone please explain why this media generated storm in a teacup has occupied major news for the last week?
What is this 'Celebrity' that these people are supposed to demonstrate, and does anybody actually watch the programme?
It really is beyond me that we can be so manipulated by the media.
Shilpa Shetty is an actress I understand. She can act.
Jade Goody has been involved in this programme before and understands what the producers want.
Failing ratings mean that controversy is needed to increase viewing figures.
Do we need to be duped by this?
Yes, racism exists
yes, there are people who do not wish to get to know strangers
yes, people are stupid
yes, people bully others
yes, people are intolerant of difference.
that is life.
Without education and example human nature will continue in its defensive mode.
Media hype generates increased fear in our increasingly fearful society. It's a con. Wake up and smell the coffee.
