As she shouts for help,a small child should spit on her face and curse her every word while the sound of Sunday bells deafen the loudest of birds flying past.

My thoughts exactly Hipster.

You can start with a local favorite.

 

The Indian Oven.

Oh, now I must eat.

oh yeah.

Hip Priest 01.18.2007 07:18 PM

Ah, the Sunday bells. Splendid. I'm glad they are involved.

Perhaps the birds shouldn't fly past. Perhaps they should stop and peck.

haha, yeah, i like the fact that when you move the mouse over california the whole state lights up, when infact there is one restaurant located in one city.
not like it's almost the size of great britain of anything......

porkmarras 01.18.2007 07:22 PM

Disgusted.I do get upset by things like that and i happen to witness it day in day out right outside my doorstep.Sometimes i wake up to it and i just want to move out of here.

racehorse 01.18.2007 07:25 PM

You dont really believe that do you? Im from an area of London that has a National Front candidate in every election, i know that my area is very racist, but Britain as a whole is nothing compared to it

My two-penn'orth:

Firstly, Jade Goody's "fame" is based on her being a big-mouthed dumb bitch, so the fact that she's being a big-mouthed dumb bitch shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.

Secondly, Shilpa Shetty deserves a medal for the way in which she is handling the situation. The temptation to smack Jade Goody, or one of her two thick friends, must be huge, but somehow she has managed to resist.

Thirdly, I don't understand why the remaining housemates are standing by and letting the thickies carry on as they are without saying a word.

And finally, while the prejudice in the Big Brother house is a horribly unpleasant thing to witness, it has actually sparked a debate on racism, and if that issue is getting headlines and being talked about it can only be a good thing.



who???

what???

and should i give a shit???

You're not anybody in America unless you're on TV. On TV is where we learn about who we really are. Because what's the point of doing anything worthwhile if nobody's watching? And if people are watching, it makes you a better person.

It's fun to talk about the Big Brother racism scandal, right, Max?

Yeah, it sure is, Conan, it sure is.

There are also cultural differences involved too, not only in terms of cultural references but also in the way that a remark might be understood. Something that a European might say might be taken as humourous by another European but totally missed by an American, and again vice-versa. That is something that I see happening quite a lot on this board.

OK, confession time.

Who's voted?

sonicl 01.19.2007 09:47 AM

Me. I voted for Jade to be taken from the house and poked with sticks until she shuts up, and for her then to be paraded around the streets of Southall on an open horse cart so that everyone can make piggy noises at her.

Well, that's what I tried to do, but actually all they'd let me do was vote for her to be evicted.

porkmarras 01.19.2007 09:57 AM

And the other two's heads should be stuck into a liquidizer in front of Saturday's afternoon shoppers in Hammersmith.

sonicl 01.19.2007 09:59 AM

Ahh, Chav smoothies - yummy!
