I think BB reneforces Daily Mail style stereotypes in Britain. I watched a whole episode of it last night. I also watched Big Brothers Little Brother. I was interested by three incidents.
Firstly that the 'Asylum Seeker' (who more accuratley was granted asylum 15 odd years ago, whos name ive temporarily forgotten) and Marco had an argument. In this argument it appeared that Marco was having a go at this guy for critiscing the government when he had 'chosen to come here' . It looked to me like this Marco guy was such an incredible moron he didnt even know what he was saying. But in many ways he appeared to win the argument, due to his flouncing and popularity in the house.
So then there was an argument between that kitten woman and some other girl along the basis that as she had broken the rules she was bad and why couldnt she keep to them. In that 'isnt it great to live under a fixed set of rules and do what authority tells you'. This idea seemed to be backed up by all the calls on BBLB, of wierdos ringing up and saying 'she broke the rules! she must go!'. At least the girl was trying, a;biet rather embaressingly and badly, to stir something up.
And then that black geezer in there in my opinion is such an oaf he can only create a negative black stereo type by his boorish shouting and girl groping.
So this program seems to have found a group of people to touch on all of these issues and half argue them. They all seem to lack the brain power to do these subjects justice.
But it is an entertainment program of course. But it seems to be dragging up all this stuff and showing the bad side of the people out there watching it. God maybe im just worrying about nothing. But at the end of the day it seems to say to me that having massivley generalised badly thought out opinions, respecting authority and behaving like an oik while preening all the time is a GOOD thing. I don't think it is. Although I may be guilty of all those things...
