Big Brother, thy name is controversy
Since when isn't BB about controversies? Last year there were the indecent incident of some housemate rubbing himself on some other housemate and the prime time pole dancing sessions. That created an outrage all right. Or enough of an outrage to make my school decide that we poor students have to write an essay on the negative effects of reality shows. I've been hating the damn stupid show ever since. Not that I liked it in the first place.
This year instead of indecent rubbing there was an alledged sexual assault. Some dickhead in the house decided to slap another inmate housemate with his dick and got himself and his mate evicted. The police have since dropped the charges as no one have pursued legal actions. It's strange that the woman who was alledgedly sexually assaulted defended her assaulters saying the whole incident was "just for fun". I don't see the "fun" in being assaulted by 2 brutes, do you? These people should really get a life. If the BB house is so boring why did they apply to get in there in the first place? But then again, this indecent incidence is just another publicity stunt. By this time next year nobody's gonna remember who smacked who with what.
I reckon the newspaper opinion page's gonna be full with call to put a stop to the whole BB show just like last year. However, I think public outrage's not gonna give BB the boot. Next year BB's gonna be back with a vengence. Maybe they'll do live execution instead of live eviction. That'll maintain the state of constant controversy.
