Isn't there anything else going on out there?
Mat, having had a weird day in which he fell asleep multiple times when not supposed to, checks his LJ friends list. Everybody in the UK, it seems, is talking about the same damned thing. I agree with
liadnan, where's the news?:
Even the main news blogs are at it. I expected Pickled Politics to cover it, it's sort of their remit, but Doctor Vee and Chris Dillow? No, just please, no.
Seriously, it's dull. Now the Guido/Tim Ireland Blog Brother spat? That's worth watching, handbags at dawn everyone...

Obnoxious and ignorant woman famous solely for being obnoxious and ignorant on reality tv show is obnoxious and ignorant on reality tv show. This sentence really ought to be followed by "film at 11", not by "international furore and mild diplomatic spat follows", surely. What did anyone expect?Jade, and family, are stupid, ignorant bigots. I could've told you that just from her damned media profile. Endemol are cashing in and looking forward to the eviction vote with greedy anticipation. No one is actually watching anyway (less viewers than the vegetable show on BBC2 according to Private Eye).

I'm not talking about it...

That is an opinion that you are entitled to. Not one I share, but then, no TV= no watching, regardless.

I'm sorta with D2 on the whole thing, but am wondering if Tim's got a point.
no subject
Staying neutral on the whole issue though; both blogs have much to commend them.

I wonder if there will be a moment of realisation where Jade realises she has effectively killed her career?
no subject
Oh, let's hope so. But we'll likely get 6 months of repentence and awareness work or similar. Which'll be worse.

Ah, I see, December. Um, hi.
But yeah, no tv, not watching it, but it's all over every newspaper, and half of LJ seems to be talking about it. And, of course, I've joined in, which makes it worse, but, y'know.
I just buy DVDs of good stuff these days, works much better.

I haven't watched any of Big Brother since the first series, but honestly, even with 'celebrities' do they really expect a reality tv show containing someone who's solely famous for being stupid and rude not to include bullying and racism all over?
In real news, London Bridge station was sealed off last night. We suspected foul play, and still do because of the huge area they sealed off. Statement from police this morning claims that the skylights were being blown out due to high winds and they wanted to ensure customer safety. I suspect ninjas.

Which of course it is.
I hear there were lots of weather affected things yesterday. I was due to be leaving the house and being in town when the first fatigue attack hit, appears I missed little.
Ninjas are always a possiblity of course, because everyone knows the denials are part of the plot.

Plus aside from Jade 'I look like a pig in a wig' Goody, and her career killing words, it just seems like a huge culture clash.
If the asian actress in question were white, little would be said.

Yep, they are pretty much just picking on her because she is genuinely attractive, genuinely nice and has some actual talent.
El oh el.
I have to say I don't think there is any racial motive but their horribly stunted intellects are unable to even comprehend why they dislike her so much.
Even if they did, you can't make much bitchiness out of "You're only famous for successful movies, I'm famous for being queen of the chavs!"
no subject
Which pretty much sums it up.
Shilpa is likely to come out of this incredibly well, and will now have a career pretty much wherever she wants one. Hopefully, Jad is dead in the water, but I have fears she'll do something to sort it.

Still its easier than contemplating climate change which is truly scary.

I'm definately not obsessing over Tosh. Not at all, that's someone else...
