   Yo.
Well hi. I'm sitting in the study room, sitting typing away my life...when I should be revising politics/learning french/finishing history/starting my english...but I can't.

I'm going to leave the weekend free, so it's cool. It's unfortunate though: I'll have to tell Chiara I can't go swimming with her. I'm kind of stressed out about the work I've been given, so I guess she'll understand. She's just down a whole bunch of tests, so surely she would understand??

The thing is, when I get stressed I tend to just get up and leave the situation. That makes things even worse.

Anyhoo.
What do you all think about this situation in the Big Brother house: the 'racism' one. For the benefit of those who don't watch this Big Brother drivel, lucky Americans, there is a Bollywood superstar staying in the house. She's meant to be able to speak over five languages, and has had a really great education. Her housemates are failed popstars and flailing entrepreuners. See what I mean? Whenever people what to attack someone, they do it in the most personal way they can. In this case, they're attacking Shilpa Shetty's race. Comments like "She's trying to be white" and stuff are said about her behind her back. Things like "I'm not eating that chicken, you don't know where her hands have been" or "The Indian's don't cook their chicken properly and that's why they're so thin."

And the ringleader is a girl that doesn't even know the proper word for 'racist'. She says 'racial.' As in, "I'm not racial."

Of course you're not sweetie. You're a racist.

And also!

The British politicians are spending more time publicly speaking about this than spending time on other stuff, like the NHS or the situation in Iraq. It's just an oppertunity to make themselves look kind and decent human beings. Which they aren't.

Big Brother is a ludicrous, crass show that's structured to sensationalise the modern social structure. The producers have deliberately gone out of their way to secure 'stars' with the maximum amount of freakishness. The combinations are planned so that conflict and ::ahem:: 'hanky panky' is rife.

Grr.

Big Brother had the potential to be a really good social experiment, and now it's just centered around getting those three and half minutes of fame.

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.
