Headline: ‘Big Brother “Outs” Two Racist Houseguests to Viewers — Was It Enough?’

http://tv.yahoo.com/news/big-brother-outs-two-racist-houseguests-viewers-enough-015559503.html

Right back to “All the world’s a stage” thingy, and Shakespeare had no idea about television. Unless he was a time traveler who centuries from now or next month decided the world needed some serious play-writing, serious in the sense of “a bunch of” and not “dramatic.”

The Yahoo story is BS. The writers had to write something, and that was all Matt Webb Mitovich and Rebecca Iannucci could come up with.

“Side note: Per a TVLine reader poll, 82 percent said that CBS should not edit out all offensive slurs but instead let America see these players for who they truly are.”

Who is surprised? Of course people polled not to edit offensive remarks. That’s one reason people watch drivel, so they can say, “Damn! I’m not that bad. Those people are really sick.” Programs on hoarders, wedding dresses, addicts interventioned … “Damn! I’m not as bad off as they are.”
