But it was to catch the fans that go home for lunch and don't have school dinners. That's why it was released then.

I saw it within 10 minutes of it being released pmsl.

Does that get the envy juices flowing or what?

Does it sting like a bitch knowing they did it deliberately to hack off all the tweenies who would be at school today?

Mwahahahahahaha

Some people are never satisfied.

Of course they can release it when they want, I just find the time they picked stupid.

There's anticipation with a midnight embargo, without one, there isn't.

But that's a very small demographic.

Releasing it at a time where all, or most fans would have been at home would've been more reasonable.

Jeez.... it's only an eye.

Thanks

+ may I add that a midnight embargo was a nightmare for me as midnight in UK is 1am in France so I had to stood up until then. And when you have to get your ass up at 6am the next morning, it's not good.

So midnight is better?

Come on mate, it was going to be in the papers and all over the internet the next morning, you'd have seen it somehow.

And it's not like the biggest event ever. I mean, as much as I love BB, the launch is the most exciting thing of all and that's what really matters.

Well not necessarily, but an embargo until a reasonable time is.

I think the moral of this story is don't be tragic and wait till 12 midnight for a logo to be released.
In C4's defence, they probably figure daylight hours are MORE reasonable for their tweeny fans than midnight.

Oh, I know. I just like the anticipation of an embargo at a time when most fans can wait for it.

Because you know it's coming, and you can see it when it comes. It's the build up I like. This way I think is just...dull.

Who decides what is reasonable?

Patrick · 21-05-2010, 06:15 PM

Must agree here,

I got home and went on MSN and the news popped up and in A SMALL THUMBNAIL which just spoilt it all..

'Channel 4 release Big Brother 11 Eye'
And I was like 'YESSS' but at the same time 'YOU BASTARDS' because of the way it was released.

Also I got into MSN and bloody Jessica had already made an emoticon for it again in small, which just spoilt it.

It was all hard to take in, all I wanted to do was to go on TiBB And see it in all its glory on a thread but instead its all over the net in and stuff and I was like 'WOW Slow down'

pinkmichk · 21-05-2010, 06:17 PM

people are really getting cross cos of when the eye was released i've seen it all on here now

A 'reasonable time' is a time in which the majority of fans will be able to view it, when it arrives.

Considering most people have finished work/education by 5/6PM, I think anytime after this is 'reasonable'.

So had you been home and on TiBB when it was posted, this is what you would have seen, a 100x75px thumb. Would you have been happier with that?

And to think some Ethiopians won't get to see the eye at all!

Weird reckoning. I don't understand it. Never mind.
