30 idiots complain about Celebrity Big Brother.

The Daily Star reported that 30 people had complained to Ofcom about Celebrity Big Brother, specifically the task that required some of the housemates to perform 18-rated entertainment, a task that by the way, producers had to censor for broadcast after the 9pm watershed.

Honestly, what do these 30 people think they are watching?  Celebrity Big Brother is nothing more than licenced and legalised voyeurism.  It's the only way the general public can watch celebrities being themselves without finding themselves in court on a stalking charge.

Unsurprisingly, Mediawatch, the ex-Mary Whitehouse organisation, ciriticised it, but then, that's not news.

It's not high culture, it's programming designed to appeal to the base instincts.  That was just another expression of that. 

By the way, extra hypocrisy points go to Daily Star and Channel 5 owner, Richard Desmond.  He owns the channel that commissioned it because he wanted material to fill up his newspapers and magazines, and now his own newspaper is giving voice to those criticising the programme on his own channel, and partially encouraging the criticism.  That takes a total lack of any scruples.  If you are going to have a programme on your own channel, and you allow your own newspaper to be critical, then you are undermining the staff who produce the programme, and you are also saying that you are only interested in ratings and sales, not in anything else. 

Hypocrisy and the Conservative press.

You can't rely on the Conservative newspaper press for anything, except hypocrisy.

You can't rely on them for facts, you can't rely on them not to change their minds in order to get the most readers, you can ONLY rely on them to be total hypocrites.

Case in point. The 2010 World Cup in South Africa. In particular the Vuvuzelas that have been so prevalent a sound at every match.

Yesterday, every conservative paper was practically begging for these horns to be banned from the World Cup.

Today, the Sun decided to slap their logo on 5,000 and give them away as prizes, so now we'll be hearing them at every Premiership match!

Total hypocrisy. The only thing that you can rely on from the Conservative media.
