When there was violence on the last BB it was highly cut, you didnt see them really fighting, although we knew that things were getting heated in there.
Most kids go to bed for shool the following day...well thats responsible adults like myself who think 9 yr olds should be in bed 8-8:30 on a school night.....BB used to start at 9pm during the week.
When BB goes live they are warned about swearing, she says "Big Brother house, this is Davina, you are live on Channel 4, please do not swear"
They see more violence on Eastenders or Corrie so I aint got the foggiest why dr is making an exhibition out of this for.
Not really on the late repeat.
I don't have a welsh accent do I rolly? :eek2:
Sorry, I meant on the earlier showing.
Id hope kids were in bed at the time the later one was shown.
Define "kids".
Younger teenagers are just kids, but 14 year olds would see it. And they are the most impressionable, far mroe than younger kids.
14 yr olds would probably be like myself.....pissing themselves laughing at the contestants when they have a squabble.
If you want to take it that bit further then look at it this way. They see people arguing but then they make up....everyone says sorry and its all forgotten.
Now on some of these action movies they see 'the good' and 'the bad'......they rarely make up and are out to kill each other......so yes I agree on BB there is arguing, but not to the extent that some people are trying to make out. BB is no where near as bad as some of the movies we see.
At the end of the day mate it was 'real', they could have just as easilly seen the fight in the street or at school.
True.....very true.
:banghead:
The who? (No references to Roger Daltrey please.)
:yes:
but i don't watch BB.......because it's crap.
infact i don't watch much TV at all.
and only little shits who think that they can own the world are THAT impressionable by the age of 14.
if a corwen person goes for a drink in bala ...5 miles apart ...a huge fight will ensue often involving a stabbing.
i am not exagerating here or taking the piss ...if your from one village there is a tribal thing ...mountain boy mentality ...that you do not come into their terrortry.
being english is dangerous. but ...they are that busy fighting each other that you can get away with it.
wrexham is a medium sized industrial town on the english border which the sawmill boys see as being england.
thisis hillbilly country ...seriously. tribal warfare. stabbings are a regular occurence.
Definitely.
I just don't like BB because it is cheap and tacky- it is exploiting otehr people's emotions of entertainment and for money. Yeah, they chose to be on it, but it's voyeurism at its very worst.
Violence in films was what I was talking about, though.
Not necessarily. 14 year olds are sometimes so rash and unpredictable that you have absolutely no idea what they're going to do next. You can link more murders by 14-16 year olds to what they have seen on television, movies and videos than you can to any other age group.
I'm trying to say that kids will watch BB and then go out and start fights. I'm saying that we ought to be careful, because this show is heavily billed as 'reality tv', hence creating the illusion that 'this is reality, this is what people do'. I know you and I know it's all been strategically engineered to create these situations, however we can't seriously know how a kid sees it unless we have some psychic power.
Ah right. I see. It's simillar in some parts of the Highlands.
I do, however, stand by what I said earlier in this thread, and i'd like to add that we cannot truly say that nothing is absorbed about socially acceptable behaviour from BB. I'm not saying things are absorbed, i'm saying we need to be careful with this type of programming.
I think it's totally shite anyway, but that's my opinion.
