Lords of the ratings war

In a 24hrs that sees a furore over a private conversation between some people resulting in a firing:

Big Brother for children: Channel 4 demonstrates why it should be closed down

Yesterday's BBC Breakfast sofa was positively cooking with various folk promoting this... public ser... er.. study... er... rampant ratings grab in the guise of god knows what. To be fair there were a few 'uneasy' at the psychological aspects, so they 'understood' the anguish of parents desperate to be on the telly watching their kids desperate to be on the telly not exactly enjoying the experience of being on the telly. And, without having watched it (my small protest), having been through the edit suite to 'enhance the narrative' I bet most liked the result even less.

Ill-conceived and cynically executed from pitch meeting to press releases. With a complicit MSM ready and waiting to savour the incoming... and fallout. Sick.

Oh, and really, this alone rather puts the whole sorry charade in context: '...without their parents or other outside adult influences (apart from the adult camera crew which films everything they do).

ie: a complete fabrication with no value, but somehow a licence for some adults to mentally torture some minors for some money.
