BlueStar Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 I heard someone justify Jade and co bullying Shilpa because she "thinks she's better than her". Come on, thinking you're better than Jade Goody is hardly fucking arrogance. I'm going to shut up now I'm starting to sound like I watch it or something.
Rummy Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 I saw the bit with Danielle when she said she should fuck off home, though she didn't actually say where you classed as home. Big brother questioned her about it in the diary room later and she said she couldnt recall saying it and totally didnt mean it like that if she had. Apprently the complaints now are at 25,000+

BlueStar Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 Is actually she going to get grief from the simpletons when she comes out? Have the rank and file BB fans finaly turned on her? Or are they going to have her name spelled out in glitter glue on their signs and scream "We love you Jade! That watsername, Shizan, she were right doin' me ed in, finks she's so good an that, and you carn't even say nufink when it's one of them can ya cos people fink you's a racialist and that. She got nah clarss, not like yew Jade."
mike-zim Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 i think that this is stupid now. lets see what did i see on the front page this morning? X number of escaped prisoners? no. NHS in crisis? no. Jade shouts at shilpha. yes, thats the shit right there.
Tony_Montana Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 i'm not surprised at all. i have watched a bbc documentary on english hooligans (uploaded on google video) ... looks like racism is very much alive in UK.

Sarka Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 Carphone Warehouse pulls BB sponsorship Day 16, 14:18 UTC - by James Welsh Carphone Warehouse has pulled its sponsorship of Celebrity Big Brother with immediate effect. "The Carphone Warehouse Group today announces that it is suspending its sponsorship of Channel 4’s Celebrity Big Brother programme," the company said in a statement. "Our concern has rapidly mounted about the broadcast behaviour of individuals within the Big Brother house," said CEO Charles Dunstone. "We are totally against all forms of racism and bullying and indeed this behaviour is entirely at odds with the brand values of The Carphone Warehouse. As a result we feel that as long as this continues we are unable to associate our brand with the programme. "We had already made it clear to Channel 4 that were this to continue, we would have to consider our position. Nothing we saw last night gave us any comfort. Accordingly we have instructed Channel 4 to remove our sponsorship name and branding with immediate effect." Good God! There was no racism last night at all.
Fierce_LiNk Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 Not surprised they pulled the plug on that deal. Big Brother's been getting worse than usual press lately, and I think its wise to distance themselves from all that.
Katie Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 Well they have a reputation to protect and don't want to be connected with Big Brother when it's getting such bad publicity. I think the reason they brought Danielle into the diary room about the going home remark was to show they wouldn't tolerate racism, if that's what it was. It really annoyed me that Jade kept saying how rude Shilpa was for saying certain things to her, when the only reason she did was to retaliate to all the insults Jade was throwing her.
Fresh Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 Hummmmm, tbh, Jades done well since coming out of the Big Brother house. She has easily been the most successful of all BB house-mates ever however since she has caused such a media uproar its going to very difficult for her to go back to her old way of just appearing on the front of "OK" magazine. Personally i think it will be very difficult for Jade to ever to ever be taken seriously again (not like we took her seriously to start off with but you know what i mean). She simply has pushed the boundaries and her tabloid world could come crashing around her without some serious damage control, No magazine would want to be affiliated with a racist. About the comments she made i believe that Jade had the right to be annoyed however Jade seemed to be targeting her class more than her race. Danielle's outburst of 'She should fuck off home' nevertheless pushed it WAY too far. I used to think she was a innocent thing however after that we can she her for the racist filth she is.
Owen Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 This show is pretty annoying now...it was ok last week...but now it's crap. I think H (ian) or Cleo should win, i now see why Cleo is liked...shes pretty sweet and Ian is generally a nice bloke! His being 100% himself in there. I was annoyed with Shilpa when she stated 'Is this what the UK community is turning into too'...or something along those lines. That was totally unfair....don't base your opinion on the whole of the UK because of Jade bloody Goody, PLEASE. She hasn't met all 66 million leaving in the UK too say we all act like Jade. (Although alot do...) Overall? The racism thing has been blown way out of proportion BUT Shilpa is being bullied, theres no doubt about that. Get Jade, Jo, Jermain, Dirk, Danielle, Jack out now and it will be all ok...oh hang on...thats all of them nearly... Ian and Cleo for the win!
UziT Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 To right it is that undercover mosques show proved that for those that missed it check out youtube Yea by them showing this kinda stuff really fuks ups peoples head about muslim's, anyways....off to WoW
Tony_Montana Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 in canada, we also have a show about a mosque it's called little on the Prairie http://www.cbc.ca/littlemosque/ nice sitcom one of the most watched show in Canada last week http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tu2-lXDe2to
Ashley Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 I heard someone justify Jade and co bullying Shilpa because she "thinks she's better than her". Come on, thinking you're better than Jade Goody is hardly fucking arrogance. I'm going to shut up now I'm starting to sound like I watch it or something. The "such and such thinks he/she's better than everyone" argument is crap and employed by those who are clearly inferior anyway. My friend said it about someone he hardly knows, and that person is better than my friend anyway. Anywho...enough personal rant. I caught some of the debate at the gym on the TV, hopefully BB will be pulled forever and longer. A boy can dream right?
Fierce_LiNk Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 Would anyone honestly be that surprised if they just pulled the show altogether? I know I wouldn't be.
Ashley Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 Would anyone honestly be that surprised if they just pulled the show altogether? I know I wouldn't be. I would actually. BB is their highest ratings return (granted, pure guess but c'mon). I wouldn't be suprised if it went off air for a while (maybe until next year) and it was just more watered down or something. The producers won't admit it but this is what they wanted. Each year they throw in people who will hate each other for the sake of arguments, and now they're making money from racism.
4q2 Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 I dunno why this is even making the news..... BB was always set as a show to court controversy as controversy gets viewers....Im just finding it a bit pathetic that people don't like the 'wrong' type of controversy. I avoided watching the show with a passion, but its getting a bit impossible when it flashes up on every newspaper and news program you flick past. Now.....If they spiked the water supply with LSD and had Big Brother announce to each contestant "Someone in the house is trying to kill you", I would maybe watch it cos then it would turn into a true social experiment.
Haden Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 I would actually. BB is their highest ratings return (granted, pure guess but c'mon).

Each year they throw in people who will hate each other for the sake of arguments, and now they're making money from racism. Big time they show the programme and try and make teh two things that people want to happen happen. Eg conflict and sex and they dont give a shit about morality.
Sarka Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 To be honest, I doubt the Big Brother execs expected Jade to say some silly little racist things. That's really all that she's done. Accidentally (probably) said some slightly racist things and it's been blown out of the proportion. She is a horrible person though, she's bullied Shilpa terribly and deserves to go for sure on Friday. Oh, and also - Shilpa tells BB: "I don't feel there was any racial discrimination from Jade's end." I think this racist thing will blow over in a few days time I would think, especially if Jade goes tomorrow, fingers crossed or is there even an eviction tommorrow? What's going on? There is no need at all for the show to stop all because of this, it just shows human behaviour, and there is an underlying racism in Britain and I think it was fair of Shilpa to say about is this what British culture is. Three young British girls are horrible little bitches. They don't represent the country, but they do show a horrible piece of it. EDIT: Oh, also last night had 5.12million viewers which is the highest this series, just btw.
Rummy Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 I saw the clip of Shilpa saying she thought she was wrong about thinking it was racism, thanks to none other than trusty...Newsround! I just happened to catch it in passing, I think this will die down soon, but it'll remain a talked about issue for a few weeks.
