Lol that does sound like fun, i cant wait
aorry posted the link because the article was long, but it's just about how BB is being probed for racist bullying...just wonder what took them so long.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article...549502,00.html
I just think it's stupid that a bloody dog breeder, some wannabe wag, someone who got famous on BB, and someone who dates said person can actually look down on someone who actually did something to earn and keep her celebrity. I used to actually feel for Jade because she seemed like someone who was fundamentally good, just not very bright, but she's a vicious cow.
3 new people are enetering this moring according to another website! A spokesman has told viewers to tune into e4 this morningto see what happens! Apparently one new housemate is american the rest who knows!
So e4 is now on next to me and im ssitting glued to see if anything hapens!
If they are putting three new people in, will that mean that BB will be evicting Jade, Jo and Danielle for their bitching towards Shilpa.
I doubt it, 3 people ran off and quit, it's probably them being replaced.
I know I just find it disgusting and jack in another one who says the odd comment like he said last night to her saying you should get the stuff out the toilet with her teeth!!!!Quote:

I know, I dont think they know they are doing it, and I agree they are so think, they keep forgetting she comes from a different culture and I feel really sorry for her when she says she doesnt fit in, cos she could, its just the others wont let her if that makes sense.Quote:

I do as well, They should be booted out.
You should have heard George Galloway talk about the whole issue on the radio. How there just ignorant and dont know any better.
OOooo saw a clip of whats going to been shown tonight, looks good, as there is an argument between Jermain and Jade
really?? Jermaine and jade!! blimey i wouldnt hvae thought he would argue, hes so quiet!
I saw that to, It looks like Jade is arguing with everybody. Shed start a fight in an empty room that one.
I think jade was arguing with jermaine because he stepped into the arguement with her and shilpa (finally).
I think they know exactly what they are doing since danielle was worried about how people will see her and has made a mends and the fact that they only do it between themselves. How can they possibly think that picking on her culture is not a racist thing to do. Thatwhole "you don't know where her hand have been" thing, jesus like we don't wash our hands before eating...if they really are that ignorant they need to go back to school and start in the special needs class.
FROM A reliable source on another forum!
.
The ex-footballer is a BIG personality who will really liven things up.
The other fella whose name has been rumoured here is a HUGE personality.
Neither are Brits.
and sadly its not the hoff :(:crying::crying:

Are the housemates not nominating this week, what will happen on Friday do you think BB will have another surprise eviction and get rid of Jade, Jo and Danielle. It's shocking how things have evolved as up until last week I would have said that Jo or Danielle where in a good position to win CBB but since they have hooked up with Jade they will suffer when they come out.
They have apparently nominated and jade and shilpa are up!
Jade wil go, she is relaly hated at the mo!
i thought jo might win this too, but now she has no chance!
One thing that strikes me is Jade's other half is getting off very lightly here, he is as big a problem as the girls, more dangerous IMHO, he passes these comments, like, "she should be made live outside" and is getting away with it. I don't like him at all. When those 3 "Celeb" witches get evicted, then TV and radio and newspapers should ignore them, not interview them, then see how they like disappearing into obscurity!! its what they deserve, don't give them airtime.
The difference between Jade and the others is that she is not hiding her hatered for Shilpa she is saying what she has to say and is not bothered if Shilpa hears the nasty comments or not, but Jack and the others are trying to be sneeky with their comments so they can play "oh I'm thick as mince and I wasn't aware I said those things card" and when she comes out on Friday I hope she gets booed you will see the terror in Jack, Jo and Danielles face when they hear the reception she gets, what the little weasels change their attidude towards shilpa.
Carphone warehouse have withdrawn their sponsorship of cbb and ch 4 are realeasing a statement at half 2 about the situation!
not statement, holding a press conference!
Carphone Warehouse has suspended sponsorship of Celebrity Big Brother following allegations of racism toward actress Shilpa Shetty on the C4 show.
The company said its sponsorship would be removed from the current series "with immediate effect".
The move follows media watchdog Ofcom's demand that C4 must respond to complaints about 'racist' comments.
"Clearly what is happening is very serious," said Ofcom's chief executive Ed Richards.
A record 30,000 complaints have been made over alleged racist remarks towards Indian actress and Big Brother contestant Shetty.
Three of her fellow housemates have been accused of racist behaviour, with Jade Goody receiving the brunt of the public criticism.
However a spokeswoman for Goody, 25, who had an explosive row with Shetty on Wednesday, has denied she is a racist.
"I would urge anyone who says that Jade is a racist to produce the evidence to support the claim," she said on Thursday.
"I have not heard Jade say anything that could be interpreted as a racist remark."
Ofcom chairman Ed Richards said that "any allegation of racism is very serious".
He said Ofcom will write to Channel 4 shortly but "in the meantime, it is Channel 4's responsibility to respond to very significant viewer concerns."
He added that the watchdog was "taking the matter very seriously and monitoring the situation very, very carefully".
"One can think of other circumstances where people have rushed to judgment and repented at leisure," he added.
He told a media conference in Oxford that the watchdog would not conduct a "kangaroo court".
'Victim'
Shetty spoke for the first time of fears that she is a victim of racism on Wednesday.
She told housemate Cleo Rocos that she feared she was being targeted because of her race.
Rocos, comforting the Bollywood actress following the row over stock cubes, told Shetty: "I don't think there's anything racist in it."
But Shetty said: "It is, I'm telling you."
Reports say Shetty and Goody are to go head-to-head in the next Celebrity Big Brother evictions on Friday, with Goody 1-5 favourite to get the boot.
'Go home'
Contestant Danielle Lloyd has also hit out at the Bollywood star, saying Shetty should just "go home" , adding that "she can't even speak English properly".
In a statement, Channel 4 said there had been "no overt racial abuse or racist behaviour," despite more than 27,000 complaints from the public to media regulator Ofcom and 3,000 directly to the channel.
"Unambiguous racist behaviour and language is not tolerated under any circumstances in the Big Brother house. Housemates are constantly monitored and Channel 4 would intervene if a clear instance of this arose," it said.
However, Channel 4 admitted there had "undoubtedly been a cultural and class clash between her and three of the British females in the house."
However, the explosion of media coverage has seen audience figures rise, with 3.5 million viewers tuning in on Monday, 4.5 million on Tuesday and 5.2 million on Wednesday - equalling the highest figure for this series since the live launch.
The story has made the headlines in India, and a small-scale protest in the eastern Indian city of Patna saw the burning of an effigy of the show's organisers.
Politicians have entered the row, with Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and Jack Straw among those commenting on the programme.
The leader of Unison, the UK's biggest trade union, has attacked Channel 4 over the Big Brother controversy, accusing the station of promoting a "circus of racism" and giving publicity to "louts".
Former England batsman, Geoff Boycott, a friend of Shetty, told the BBC Asian Network that he was not impressed by what he had seen so far.
"It is totally alien to most Asian girls, in particular Shilpa Shetty, who's known in India for being a really nice girl; she's not up her own self; she's not full of herself," he said.
And the National Bullying helpline has reported a rise in phonecalls since the alleged bullying on Celebrity Big Brother.
I want danielle out more than I want jade out, and the way BB dealt with her was ridiculous. It was plain to see what she meant when she said it but she wriggled out of it and they let her.
I soooooooooo hope Jade goes, i hate her so much, I though before she was ok and a laugh on telly but now I just find her disgusting.
Boot this lot out and then can the show, it's a load of drivel.
Jade has told Big Brother that appending "poppadom" to Shilpa's name was not intended as a racist comment.
In scenes to be transmitted tonight on Channel 4, Jade was called to the diary room and asked about a conversation with Danielle in which she called Shilpa 'Shilpa *******awhiler' and 'Shilpa Poppadom'.
"Shilpa Poppadom," Jade reiterated when confronted. "I explained that for the other two trying to get her name out. Her name is not Shilpa Harry or Shilpa Tweed or Shilpa Mackintosh, she is Indian, so will have an Indian name. No racial anything.
"She is Indian, thinking of an Indian name and only thing I could think of was Indian food. Wasn't racial at all. It was not to offend any Indian out there."
I watched that tonight, and have decided that she is definatly not being Rasist, she's just a bit dim, and doesn't think before she speak's, and doesn't really mean think's in the way she say's them, it's just the way she is!!Quote:

"Bennetts is strongly opposed to any form of racism and bullying and, in the light of the accusations which have been made against Miss Lloyd, has taken the decision to terminate its arrangements with her with immediate effect," a spokesperson told The Sun.
"Bennetts will no longer use Miss Lloyd for any promotional activities and will remove all promotional pictures and press materials featuring her from its website."
Talking about the poo hitting the fan
Jade's awful, she better not win this.
Jade hasn't got a hope in hell in winning this she will be out tomorrow night. and Jo, Danielle and Jack are going to do some serious brown-nosing (sucking up) to shilpa if they are to salvage anything from their time in the house. Even if any of them were intentionally being racist,which I don't think they were. they still made comments and that is enough.Quote:

Todays Mirror has published and interview with C4s Chief Executive with their views on what he said andwhat he meant
WHAT HE SAID: The level of complaint and comment shows the programme has touched a real nerve.
WHAT HE MEANT: Oh *******. We've p***** off everyone from Bermondsey to Bombay.
WHAT HE SAID: The debate has been heated but it's unquestionably a good thing the programme has raised these issues.
WHAT HE MEANT: Jade is a nutter and a good thing too because it has raised our ratings.
WHAT HE SAID: These attitudes, however distasteful, do persist. We need to confront that truth.
WHAT HE MEANT: Jade, Danielle and Jo are thick and racist. We need to exploit that.
WHAT HE SAID: What constitutes racism is a complex question.
WHAT HE MEANT: I'm totally out of my depth here.
WHAT HE SAID: Producers spoke to Shilpa who said she didn't feel behaviour towards her was racist.
WHAT HE MEANT: They begged her not to walk out because if she stays, she's going to win and that'll make us look good. And, luckily, she doesn't know what they've been saying behind her back.
WHAT HE SAID: The latest series has strayed into controversial territory - the issue of racism and whether or not it remains ingrained in British attitudes.
WHAT HE MEANT: The series was tanking. Thank God somebody thought to put someone from India in with three thick chavs with chips on their shoulders.
WHAT HE SAID: I'm not ashamed of what was broadcast.
WHAT HE MEANT: I'm a total pleb with no shame or dignity.
It's disgusting the way Ch4 are now trying to paint a rosy picture. Its blatantly obvious that the producers have had a word and are on a damage limitation exercise. Too little too late i am afraid. The damage has been done and it will be interesting to see the reactions in the days after they come out of the house. Get ready for headlines such as:
"I'm not racist. I love curries"
"I'm not racist. My best friend is black"
etc
:rotfl: sorry but i found these funny cause this is what I expect to see!!!Quote:

No one bothered with Jodie Marsh when she was suffering bullying, no one helped any other housemates in the past when they were bullied, and no one said anything about Jermaine calling Jackiey white trailer trash, so why is it so different because its Shilpa thats having the same treatment? I do find what has happened disgusting, what should the public do - turn off the blooming programme and stop watching. Doesn't it make it just as bad for us to be watching whats going on? Why doesn't everyone stop watching, rather than tuning in to see the bullying going on?
just read in one of the newspapers that if jade gets evicted tonight there will be no live audience and well be hidden from the media until bb is over.
Jo's sister and PA where on GMTV this morning and they said they are really disappointed in her and whay she has acted
It was the opening topic on QT last night which made me laugh. There is a underlying problem of racism in this country but it shouldn't have made headline news because three uneducated chavs can't differentiate between right and wrong.Quote:

But I agree. The best way to get this filth off the television is to press the off button. But in a society brainwashed by celebrity and reality television that isn't going to happen.
Edit: This is the cynic in me, but I believe that the Government have a vested interest in keeping crap like this going. Any one familiar with Chomsky will know one of his main arguments is crap like this keeps people away from politics and current affairs, effectively brainwashing the people and the government being able to get away with most things. Can you imagine if all the young people following BB were interested in politics and taxes?
