hurrah the first big brother thread
inspired by restlessboy guntrip and devon_malcolm.
What sort of demographic mix would you like to see?
OK so its lowest common denominator tv.....yet in this respect its quite a pure reflection of the sort of mentality behind our democracy. The mob mentality.
It could also be an interesting social experiment in that people actually discuss other peoples real behaviour, as opposed to those real behaviours dreamt up by soap writers.
for instance it would appear that when laid bare the UK public has proven that it knows that racism and bullying is bad....I dont know if it would have caused anyone to examine their own actions though.
But could big brother be useful in any way? (maybe if changed slightly)
Should they have more intelligent people on? Not put them under duress, and encourage them to have a big massive philosophical debating holiday for instance (but with the promise of some rumpy pumpy to keep the viewing figures up)
Personally I would love to see a political big brother
