Oh,Big Brother.


Well it was going to happen sooner than later, the Celebrity Big Brother has unleashed a foray of anger at "racial" insults aimed at Bollywood star Shilpa by Londons very own Jade Goody. The press has condemned her as tensions have risen in India at the treatment of a very lovely lady, and are seeking to destroy Jades career. This is "car crashTV" at it's best and worse.
What I actually saw was a very ignorant girl (Jade) doing what she does best, engaging mouth before the brain is in in use. Remember that she was a product of an earlier BB and has achieved quite a bit since with two series on Living TV, Jade's Salon and Jade's PA. A career based around the gossip mags since has brought her a fortune, but unfortunately no further intelligence. I quite like the girl when she is in a happy mood playing to the cameras. I don't think that she is a bad person at all, maybe all this celebrity nonsense has actually changed her in some small way. Stubborn,confident,stupid and rich.
Two accusations were that she was a bully and a racist. Firstly I would say that most people have got it wrong to say that she was a racist. The comments she made were in the heat of an argument with Shilpa that showed the difference between an educated woman and the complete opposite. Secondly, I would definitely agree that she is a bully and saw a chance to put down someone who is not at the same low level species as herself.
The real culprit of this sad event is the producers of Big Brother who have always used the diary room to lay down the rules about bad behavior and bullying. They let it all go without reprimand until it had got totally out of hand. They failed to protect the people they had hired to provide "entertainment" to this fast fading format, and allowed it to turn into havoc to boost the poor audience ratings.
Channel Four and Endemol, you stand accused of bringing the media of Television into the gutter. Guilty!
