That said it could also be argued that if only those who liked the show spoke up about it and those who hated it stayed silent - well then people might assume that there were no people who hated it! ]]> http://www.upsu.net/go/int/rss/-/forums/v/message,13,2645.htm#2645 AlexA Sat, 20 Jan 2007 17:39:12 GMT General student chat > Random distractions http://www.upsu.net/go/int/rss/-/forums/v/message,13,2639.htm#2639
Want further proof? Read what BBC News has to say about it:

The key to the evil cunning of this "scandal" is that it even has those of us who absolutely detest BB talking about it. Wheel out Dr. Freud - this is going to be a long night... ;o)

Lets step back here a second and realise a few facts that - while not pretty - are quite true.

1. Racism is not a new thing and if Jade was being racist, she certainly isn't the first (not that this makes it alright).

2. BB is a damn TV show, and a crappy one at that.

3. Therefore the massive amount of complaints/problems/media reaction are vastly overblown and seems to further the idea that people just love to complain about something, especially if it's something that doesn't fit in with the idea of political correctness.

For me, BB sums up everything that is wrong with this country. Idiots like Jade are awarded fame for being run of the mill, average and boring whilst great scientists and achievers are overlooked. We'd rather discuss a silly mistake that she made than focus on more important world issues. The media (and unfortunately it's papers like The Sun and the Daily Mail) are clearly in control of the populace.

Meh. ]]> http://www.upsu.net/go/int/rss/-/forums/v/message,13,2638.htm#2638 AlexA Sat, 20 Jan 2007 12:05:46 GMT General student chat > Random distractions http://www.upsu.net/go/int/rss/-/forums/v/message,13,2635.htm#2635 http://www.upsu.net/go/int/rss/-/forums/v/message,13,2635.htm#2635 milannium Sat, 20 Jan 2007 10:41:19 GMT General student chat > Random distractions
