Be pissed off with the person that said it not the show.

considering the show is willing to challenge pedantic ideas about housemates stealing sausages, i don't think it's unreasonable for them to challenge truly offensive ideas. do you?

Nobody said it was ok ffs somebody said something offhand and was put in their place and told not to be rude theres no need for everyone to piss their pants with outrage at every oppurtunity.

Well what else would I do? Write in my diary as to how pissed off I was at the comment? I think it makes much more sense to raise the subject in the place where others will more than likely have heard the comment and to see what they think.

I'm not sure what you're trying to prove from your pseudo-intellectual snipes at me and others but it is simply not ok to simply put someone in their place over a comment that, BY LAW, is on a par with a racist comment. How many times will I have to explain why what has happened is bad? But obviously you're the all seeing eye of morality and that in the real world we simply give a slap on the wrist to those who demean others. I guess though, from the image in your signature, you're some sort of hero for freedom of speech and that me stating my outrage is somehow trampling on the oh so precious freedoms of morons to spout their ****e on a TV show. God they must feel so surpressed with limp wristed liberals like me on their backs..

The show is cool and has proven it for a while now, they just need to remove that bitch.

I doubt emma gives a fook, Emma doesn't strike me as the most socially or politically aware person.

Joe. 16-07-2012 10:04 PM

Saw this, didn't people see her crying later on in the show? Behind Emma you could see there were tears at least?

cookiemonster 16-07-2012 10:05 PM

i think Emma's a great presenter, i like her. what else could she have done? she had to keep the show moving and so couldn't do much right then. is there a 5*+1?

Channel 219 on Sky

Jords 16-07-2012 10:09 PM

Didnt watch it but shame the show is plagued with ignorant morons like this.

Beverley 16-07-2012 10:25 PM

Word for word, verbatum: Emma asks "So are the right people up?" (after annoucing the nomination results), a woman in the audience shouts "Yes". Emma goes over to her after remarking her strong agreement and puts the microphone to her, the woman says, "Lauren is the biggest, whinging crybaby I have ever seen in my life. Luke A is very calculating, people need to study people, you see I haven't got a degree in Pyscology, but I am aware.... I'm aware". Emma asks, "Why do you think Luke A is calculating?". Woman in audience responds, "Do you know what? Luke A sits there going (does grunting, pulls faces and covers face with her hand), and he just, c'mon now, like, everyone else is kind of bold like, everyone comes at Conor but at least Conor is old enough to say what he thinks. Luke A is all discreet and acts all like a good little boy, girl, boy, whatever, anyway he says......" (Groans from the audience and Emma). Emma replies, "Oh guys c'mon, there's no need to get personal and there is no need to get rude about people" (as she is turning her back and walking away from the woman.

There you go.

Good on Emma by the sounds of it, thanks Bev :)

Its a live adult show aimed at an adult audience they cant control every word that comes out of peoples mouths.

"Faux"? Erm, most open-minded people will genuinely be shocked at such a horrible comment. Nothing false about it.

Actually, the "ohh, such faux outrage" line is massively overused on forums. Bored now.

rusticgal 16-07-2012 10:31 PM

It takes a bitch to support 'the bitches in there'....she was the only one who cheered when emma asked if anyone was pleased with the result.

coll 16-07-2012 11:35 PM

It was an awful comment and i think she should have been removed during the AD break, Have some respect for other people Gender, Race ETC whether you like that person or not, i personally think Luke A is a lovely Guy and i salute him for all he represents, if she did'nt like him fair enough but there was no need to be personal and quite frankly cruel. i for one wish Luke all the best for the future

Fetch The Bolt Cutters 16-07-2012 11:52 PM

she looked really embarrassed for the rest of the show after she said it

and emma looked really annoyed with her too

MTVN 17-07-2012 12:45 AM

Yeah ElProximo whatever your own views on transsexuality while on this board you will accept that Luke A identifies as a man and refer to him as such, comments like he is a "woman who had her breasts cut off" are considered bigotry and won't be tolerated. Consider this a warning.

InOne 17-07-2012 12:55 AM

I can't tell if you are genuinely ignorant on this topic, or if you are trolling. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are genuinely ignorant.

The good news is that we live in the information age, and you can easily do some research to educate yourself about gender identity.

Fantastic comment i wish i could have said all that, Well said:hugesmile:

MTVN 17-07-2012 01:04 AM

Alright this'll be discussed tomorrow when there's more Mods on, for now I'm just gonna delete the posts because of how offensive they are

the truth 17-07-2012 04:42 AM

the show is moronic , the crowd is mega moronic and they just continue to invite these idiots...the cackle and utter drivel, its not even remotely funny.

vortex 17-07-2012 04:49 AM

I just hope that woman is never invited again to the show, BB alone is a mess at this point, BOTS doesn't need to follow the same path.
