I'm glad she won, I didn't want our country to be thought of as racist by the rest of the world. Agreed mate, although if the rest of the world honestly could think one pseudo-celebrity as representative of our country, that would suggest they weren't too clever either...

Have you been having naughty thoughts again Jules LOL my mind is not uncreative! One of the London free papers had a centrefold of all the top Bollywood actresses - and Shilpa isn't even the most stunning among them...

You couldn't be more right there. But when someone on WACCOE gave me a link to a youtube video of one of the BB contestants apparently calling Shilpa a 'packi' there were loads of comments under the video by people from Canada, America all sorts, saying things like "well thats Britain for you, full of racists, we don't have any problems like that over here". Lots of comments like that, it's not nice to read.

Important thing is that it stops sooner rather than later. At least we don't have a successful far-right party like France, Austria etc...

Important thing is that it stops sooner rather than later. At least we don't have a successful far-right party like France, Austria etc... ............ or two right wing parties like America ........... there's nothing like freedom of choice!! If Jade Goody and her buddies (who have all abandoned her like rats!!) were representative of the British nation as a whole, then I think I would be ashamed. However she isn't, she symptom of a problem. Which is that being stupid and having no talent is no bar to being successful in this country. Jade is famous for nothing else than being the really thick one in BB3. While there is such a route to fame and fortune, there will be a host of Jade Goody wannabes. Who will attempt to make use of their stupidity, lack of talent and their willingness to sell stories about themselves, at whatever cost to their own dignity, to make a few quid. Danielle is famous for her tits and being Teddy Sheringhams ex (well she is now). Wayne Rooney's girlfriend does nothing but shop. Yet in magazines and on TV these people are held up as style icons, and aspirational role models. I would suggest that ignoring these people would kill off the oxygen of publicity that fuels them. Then perhaps we could pick role models who possess characteristics that people should really aspire to!! <A2V dismounts his high horse>

While they're still getting between 4m and 7m viewers, they won't drop it just means there is about 4 to 7 million retards out there with a distinctly pathetic social life. channel would be doing this country a service by dropping it and making these idiots actually think of something better to do......................like self harming..............or gutting fish "Knife goes in, guts come out~" Ideal in either scenario really! ;D *hunts down his hockey mask*
