Matt - That is illegal lol

I seriously will abandon this series of Big Brother if she isn't out this week.

Coming from the country where BB was originally invented, I feel ashamed of it for the first time ever. In the first week Emily was evicted for making a remark (the now infamous N-word) and the whole of (politically correct) Britain complemented BB with this action. However, now that a (negroide, is that a correct word or should I say coloured? I've lost track) makes a completely OFF-track comment, BB takes no action.

I know it's all been said and done, but since the original BB (the Dutch version) has done a live birth in the last ever Dutch BB, Endemol is totally not going to be bothered about a few people on a forum (unfortunately!)

This'll be my first and last post most likely, I just wanted to say something about it. In my humble opinion this is opposite racism. To me it seems that Charley as being a coloured person is allowed to say whatever she wants as BB is not going to evict her for her words no matter what.

Shoplifting isn't "as illegal" as murder but some people serve the same sentence. Why not write a letter to the government complaining about that?

Will you abandon the series if she is evicted by the public?

[Matt]

I am disgusted they haven't ejected her yet. She has been more volatile than every other housemate.

She is seriously frustrating me now to the point where I'm gonna switch off.

If she's not out before Saturday, not caring how she goes, I'm turning off.

This series is the worst ever IMHO.

He didn't say she was a \prostitute', he said she was a slag- which yes, is offensive, but he did not imply that she was a prostitute.

I was liking her- read my previous feeds, but not now, big brother don't know what they are doing, because no matter how they showed it, some dickheads will shout it to Gerry on the street, you know that x

[farhad]

I would suggest that posters email Ofcom and Channel 4 about Charley's comments.

What she said was more controversial what Emily said, and Charley should get the same treatment.

If she does not then there are tollerating homophobia in exactly the same way the previously tollerated racism.

That has gone beyond the normal nasty comments.

This is potentially legally serious and she must be taken out as swiftly as Emily

Charley's comment is not illegal. She said "You sleep with younger men", Gerry was one that brought paedophile into it. Also Gerry started it by saying that Charley slept with old men for money.

Both should have received a formal warning.

Sleeping with old men for money isn't illegal, soliciting yourself for money is however. So his comment wasn't illegal at all.
She insinuated he was a paedophile, in my opinion that was so far out of order, it was sickening. Bringing something so serious into one of her petty arguments to give her some cred is just not on.

That's something for her to be proud of is it? Bringing grown men to tears and saying another has sex with under-age boys?

Agreed.

Tie for best post of the day

Oh god. There are millions of words I could call her right now, but I'll settle for self-righteous b*tch.

Oh, don't you think Ofcom have a lot more serious issues to deal with?

Charley AND Gerry said some things which could be seen as offensive to each other. If one person is going to be kicked out so should the other. You cant pick and choose.

I dont think you could call what Emily did as "normal nasty comments". Emily offended thousands of viewers and millions of people around the world. Gerry offended Charley, and Charley offended Gerry.

[Matt08]

Maybe some people should complain to Ofcom aswell as Channel 4.

[Billy]

Chuck em both out, 2 birds with one stone

Difference being, one insinuated illegal activity, the other didn't.

Now I don't usually bring homophobia into an argument but do you really think Charley would have said the same thing to a straight man? Had a straight man said "I prefer younger women", her first response wouldn't be "You sleep with 15 year old little girls!"

I never said sleeping with old men for money was illegal. She never called him a paedophile, that was a word he brought into it. IMO both of them were wrong and it unfair to say that one of them should be ejected over the other.

[Foebane100]

I think BB has realised it under reacted with the whole CBB and so it overreacted with Emily, but once it was done and they acted they couldn't really undo it.

I mean for god sake Emily is now thinking of leaving the country for just one stupid use of a word basically.

[Billy]

omg do we really need to get into technicalities, Charley insinuated he was a paedophile. Which is wrong and shouldnt be done end of
