* the outrage bus!

Raising awareness is what CH4/BB would like the public to think

In reality its viewing figures is what BB really want & why is this idea "only" coming out now, just because this idea is CH4 trying to get good PR using the forces,

Raising Awareness & Education i'm all up for, but BB are only interested in what's best for them and nothing else, CH4 bosses need a kick up the backside,

No doubt if this does go ahead, we'll hear donations to H4H, RBL, ETC ETC to justify their actions, I'd like to hear the views of the Armed Forces charities in relation to this

I'm sure there are many soldiers, injured or otherwise who would jump at the chance for some recognition on tele. There are some right 'fame whores' out there believe me.

I honestly see reality TV as the modern equivelent of the Roman arena. Its sole role seems to be to keep the masses in a state of bovine-like placidness so that they don't question what the Government are doing to them.

You're in luck, then, because it's in the article. The charities who got the e-mail (although neither mentioned on this forum) were the ones who were appalled at the thought they'd ask people they help if they wished to be exploited to help a private company.

I don't see a problem as long as I get an LSW and Davina running at 300 metres.

I'd like to recommend the SLR but it was never that accurate at that range without a bipod.

An LMG would suffice at a push, but she would have to promise to keep that other cnut of a presenter within the arc.

After the Millies, is anyone actually suprised

i think it would be a good idea if you could find a suitable enough bloke who could keep his head in the house and not make a tit of himself. Mass media like BB needs to be tackled head on and exploited, rather than being the exploiter. It would be a good way to show how injured service personell are affect day to day by their injuries.

Unfortunatly i think that out of people who may apply, the producers would end up picking a somewhat unsuitable person to do this job just to be pricks.

Will they give 100% of the money to charity??? They don't even do that in the "celebrity" one!

I am sure the producers would choose the person with the least chance of showing them up as unscrupulous users of people. They would love the chance of priming the chav dogs and bitches to wind up an ordinary human being, as a symbol of everything the creators of this sort of programme stand against.

I am surprised the Animal Liberationists haven't taken up arms against this show; it has so far been more cruel to dumb animals than anything done with rabbits or beagles.
