Another IDIOTIC Formal Warning!
 
For Big Ron!!!!!!!!!

jackc1806 25-08-2013 08:43 PM

That one was justified

DanaC 25-08-2013 08:44 PM

I think that one was fair enough.

Equating looking like someone in a turban or arab style headscarf with being a bomber is wrong.

RichardG 25-08-2013 08:44 PM

I didn't even think of it at the time he said the comment, but after Big Brother explained it I definitely see why it could be seen as offensive. :joker:

FFS is this Forum PC MAD?

No.. we're not racists. :rolleyes:

aman201 25-08-2013 08:47 PM

I love Big Ron, but definitely justified.

lime 25-08-2013 08:47 PM

And I was starting to warm to him

Brother Leon 25-08-2013 08:47 PM

Jesus. Both warnings were reasonable and fair.

You havent learnt that yet? Its like a WI meeting on here at the best of times

Videostar 25-08-2013 08:47 PM

I agree OP...it looks like no jokes are allowed anymore.

smudgie 25-08-2013 08:47 PM

It was very very stupid of him.

Racist jokes are unacceptable.

Don't be silly...theres a huge difference between not being PC and being a racist.

Big Ron just isn't PC.

Jake. 25-08-2013 08:48 PM

It was justified. They haven't kicked him out, just given him a warning about how it would be offensive.

smeagol 25-08-2013 08:49 PM

he is so stupid. you dont make those jokes on tv lol. the warning was right .

Roy Mars III 25-08-2013 08:49 PM

It wasn't racist....it was not PC.

If jokes were all PC then humour would have died.

That is quite untrue and is twisting his actual words.

RichardG 25-08-2013 08:52 PM

It definitely was quite offensive

Gstar 25-08-2013 08:52 PM

That warning was deserved tbf

SSL2012 25-08-2013 08:54 PM

Complete over-reaction...typical example of everything that's going wrong with society over here.

You say a joke or anything deemed slightly contraversial and boom your penalised for it. Yet it's okay for other's to take the piss and have slurs against us....

The average muslim would laugh and probably find it funny.

That IS what happened and what he was rightfully warned for.. how can it be made up if he was caught up for it.

Did you actually watch the video? It appears not!

I doubt it. Would being equated with a genocidal mass murder murderer like the (Christian) Adolf Hitler be found amusing by a Christian?

Obviously you didn't if you think he was not warned for making that remark... deary.

I am totally disgusted ,really taking the pee now

[QUOTE=reece(:;6331247]Racist jokes are unacceptable.[/QUOTE

How conformist of you.

Vicky. 25-08-2013 09:08 PM

That one was actually justified IMO.

Ammi 25-08-2013 09:08 PM

..it was totally justified as was the one yesterday as well..the only thing that's still stupid is that BB were guilty themselves last night as well..

Fingers my friend ,yes it is

joeysteele 25-08-2013 09:09 PM

I can see why he got a warning for it,even more so after Carol's warning last night.
I actually hadn't taken it the way it was pointed out,I thought at first he meant it some other way but then I saw why,once it was pointed out why he would get a warning even more so.

Doesn't change my opinion of him one bit, I still really like him but you do have to be really careful and more to the point very sensitive as to what you say and how you say it on TV.
I am not saying that is right too but it is a fact that you have to be, or you can find yourself pilloried and in deep trouble.

Jack_ 25-08-2013 09:10 PM

That one was actually justifiable because he said it and it wasn't a quote, though once again I wish they'd reprimand them rather than just immediately giving them a 'formal warning'. They never used to do that and it's so OTT

Lord Of The Garden 25-08-2013 09:10 PM

*

It was a badly judged joke but i don't think there was any hatred in it

There is much more hatred in the BB eviction crowd towards individuals like Hazel, Courtney etc

But in today's society, racial jokes are considered to be worse than non-racial hatred towards individuals

Ron should know that by now and he should and have kept quiet

Razor 25-08-2013 09:11 PM

Defo a racist comment.

Vicky. 25-08-2013 09:12 PM

You would think Ron especially would be minding his Ps and Qs when it comes to stuff like this.
