That is the single most idiotic comment I have ever read whilst browsing a forum.
And before any 'hey, unfair, kick him out!' arguments crop up : Their is a huge difference between Coolio using it, Charley using it, and anybody else using it. Endemol were right not to take action. A black man, who's presumably been on the harsh end of that word more than once in his life, wanting to use it is entirely different to you wanting to use it.

so me using the C word makes it less offensive what a load of cock,, oops I mean fanny

Yes, if you yourself did not find it offensive, hence your decicion to say it, and if the person you were speaking to did not find it offensive.
Because that is Coolio's position. He said it without being offended, and the person he was saying it to was not offended, and it never made it to broadcast in any way, shape or form.
Are you worried some of the mice in the camera runs took offence?

Nope, I'm more concerned about the double standards, nobody took offence when a white girl was ejected for using the word in BB8.
At the time that was not deemed relevant, it was the word itself being used which led to the descision.
Fast forward 18 months and now we have yet another double standard on race and BB.
I personally could'nt give a toss what some old has been rapper wants to say or do, I dare say he refers to his lady friends as bitches and hoes and wishes his best buddies gansta popped at christmas, the guy as far as I'm concerned is a highly paid circus act.
What I do get annoyed about is the standards TV execs (usually white middle class men) set on race, as to protect the poor offended black person from certain words whites say...yet allow white people or even mice to judge themselves what is an offensive word or not, all that does is make matters worse and we have a socierty that thinks racism is only a charge white people can be guilty of.
In that socierty its no wonder Coolio (if you say so) has been brought up being called a n***** it seems a word for him alone is a perfect description.
