Anyone who was offended by that better never watch any episode of Family Guy or South Park. Fair enough if BB was some family show but I can't see how that joke was so distasteful when you had Rebeckha talking about urinating on someone in the first episode.

Besides that joke would be considered as a compliment to most.

I remember a girl got a warning in BB Australia for a racist joke that was actually offensive.

Also my opinion of Aaron has fallen after tonight's ''performance'' , he really is truly playing the game he said on opening night he would. Playing the game is fine but not at the expense of someone's reputation (Jay, yes I know his rep isn't great to begin with but still).
Its pathetic the sad thing is nobody thinks it was racist but there are some real strange people that place supporting their housemate of choice above telling the truth about what they think.
There are a lot of silly people willing to pretend they are offended just to try and protect their own favourite housemate its pretty retarded and quite disgusting really.

Yes a film directed by a black guy written by a black guy and words spoken by a black actor
I have had this conversation with a black friend of mine this morning and the only thing he found offensive is people jumping on the racism button just to try and make someone look bad and also pissed off at the patronising attitude of some people that think black people need looking after like they cant defend themselves.

I would agree with him as well, the same thing would piss me off.
