True lol

But if any gay person phones up Ofcom about this then they're fcking nobs tbf

[iRyan]

Why the **** did he get warned? He didn't say anything prejudice or racist or threatening. That's just ****ing ridiculous. This isn't a kids show (well on second thought...)

If they did, then Ofcom should just say "Don't be so gay" and hang up

Could have fooled me. Glee and Jedward?

[aliacid]

I actually quite like Sam so far and I wanted him to go in since seeing the initial 80 possible housemates prior to the launch.

I think a character like Sam will be beneficial as he will stir things up a little in there and we need that

[BB_Eye]

Damn regulators. If it hadn't been for them, Sam might have been in there from the beginning.

They'll keep him in if they want to (doing sound dips on live feed perhaps as they do with others like JJ or ignoring very minor remarks), they'll throw him out if they want to. The producers as usual will interpret the rules as it suits them to get whatever result they want. They can use Sam to undermine JJ-Josie or they can use him to get sympathy for them.

[THE WATCHER]

An aussie by the name of Keith bloody Wilson sings songs that are perhaps not PC, one being "You can't say ****** in Canada", hilarious, do a search LOL

It could all be a wind up by Sam.

[starry]

And apparently Josie has taked about him getting thrown out through the fire exit and JJ about the possibility of him getting decked.

[Zippy]

all the feed delays and censorship yet they still feel the need to warn HMs about what they say? Just stupid and pointless. And very patronising to a bunch of adults.

If the producers dont want things airing then censor it. God knows they censor tons of other nonsense.

[Chuckyegg]

teenagers pikeys uneducated morons and the general great unwashed sometimes use the word Gay while referring to something lame or rubbish or crap that they are not bright enough to find a better word for quick enough. This further propogates the myth that being gay is a negative thing and invites people to participate in low level homophobia. It is unacceptable in this day and age and outrageous considering how homophobia destroys peoples lives.

Imagine if the new word for crap was "asian"

"oh that's so "asian"

[Jamietwo]

LOL i am a gay and i love and use the new meaning for the word gay all the time...it offends who it needs to. If your so pc and up your own arse that your offended you bloody need to be... gay originaly meant 'happy, then 'homosexual' now it means homosexual OR naff and stupid...some people are both gay AND gay...

I don't think it is right to call any girl a flat slag though, that is a straight up insult.

freedom of speech is more important I think unless it is a direct insult at someone

for instance if i called someone gay or asian or whatever an offensive name I would be out of order

but if I talkin to friends and I say somethin like thats so gay I will say it till the end of time and nothin will stop me

can shove PC BS up my arse

political correctness OFFENDS me

is pikey not an offensive term?

[brian3]

If years ago Gay ment happy. Why should the meaning not change again?

[Bigbrofan25]

it may not be seen as offensive by some but it does send out the wrong kinda message to younger viewers or may be watching

I mean what if people were going around saying thats so Black about everything would that be allowed? would that cause offence to black people I am sure the media and the country would be up in arms about it

I agree that this country as become too PC these days but does anyone actually think why we have become too PC in the first place

Homophobia is emdemic in british schools at the moment its been in the media even the Government has talked about how bad it has become

So by using such language could be deemed as making the current problem worse than it is already

Society and culture does not yet treat gay people fairly still even though they may have equal rights by law nowdays

Its the same with what happened to black people in the 1960s PC rules were brought in to try and outlaw racism mainstream it took 20 years to take effect the same thing is happening with Homophobia

I wish people were aware that there are now laws against certain homophobic language and treament

Once society in this country has got past its silly phase of making homophobia the new racism and for it to be seen as a cool thing to do maybe in 2 decades from now the Over political correction can then finally be scaled back and removed because when people have finally grown up they`ll be no need for these so called silly laws

LOL i rarely laugh at a post but i find your idea of the new word for crap being 'asian' really funny. (no i'm not racist against asians) I love messing around with words and meaning. You know what, mabey on some levels , used with a certain context or inflection, it could perhapes be homophobic, but you know what...we can't control what other people think and trying to control what they say will only provoke reaction. It is far better to tune into the humour and own and use the word in a positive way . gays have done this with words like 'queer' and blacks have also done it with '*****' . You can't really say to people don't hate me your being horrible....Personally i hate gansta rap and find it really offensive, but it's none of my busiiness really.

[Chuckyegg]

Well i'm off to bed now and I'm not getting into this argument but if people think that preventing morons from equating homosexuality with negative things is "political correctness gone mad" and "up its own arse" then i will fall asleep an unhappier man.
