Some people are absoloutely pathetic when it comes to complaining. Every year during BB we will see a report that Ofcom were inundated with people who were offended by the show, such as last season when Chanelle was talking to Isabelle about sex. There were warnings before it, infact there were warnings during breaks and at the start yet people continued to watch - I can understand not liking it or being disgusted but why complain? Why watch actually? The show has tackled much worse, it's viewers know what it's about.

As for the 'Nutter' chocolate bar, that is so silly. I would just ban those complaining from the shop.

I do think that entertainment (TV, films, games etc.) should be a different matter though... There should always be a place for satire, that's important, and a place for honesty in reality TV (though most of it is just trash now tbf) and in documentaries.

However I think people need to realise that, to use an example, Basil Fawlty frog marching around Fawlty Towers doing a Hitler salute is very different from Bob doing it round the pub. The South Park kids calling their black friend "Token" is very different from kids in a mostly white school calling the only black kid Token in reality (even as a joke), etc.

I think people also need to remember that it's different when you know people and are in private. Id never come out with half of what I'd say in front of my wife, or close friends, out loud in public and there's a perfectly good reason for that.

A good example of that was Emily from BB, who assumed that because it was OK for her to call her close black Uni friends "N***a" it would be fine to a relative stranger on national TV. It's not... It's different. Some common sense needs to be applied.
