In light of recent events, I find it very strange that Channel 4 are showing a film at 3:10am this morning called Bamboozled. It's about a black TV screenwriter who decides to shake things up at his network by devising a deliberately racist series. He hopes to cause outrage, but the show becomes a big hit.......... Does this remind you of anything?

C4 are loving it with rating being so high- they could even afford to lose their largest sponsors. They want people to vote in by the thousands- think about it- each text and message costs between 50p and £1- for every person viewing down to preferance of housemate- they'd be minted. It's hit worldwide attention and they know the world is watching as well as the brits. How disgraceful. At the end of they day- this is about cashing in on the negative aspect. Not good.

Hey Guys,
The Truth is that UK has always been racist. The people out there are exactly like what is shown on big brother. So i wanna thank channel 4 first to bring shipla in the show and second to highlight the real UK and racism, which a common person (other than white) faces in everyday life at UK. Well here in california, when we friends talk about uk everyone start talking about racism that exist in the UK is way and beyond.

nope. absolutely no way. what's going on in there you'll hear in any office, pub, bus, tube - uk wide. it's called life. apparently, (stating the obvious) that shelpa being 'hard to understand', is racist. this comes from a nation who chose banks, insurance companies and whatever, not because they are the best of the bunch, nooo, because they offer uk only call centres. one word - hypocrites. everyone that rang to complain need to sit back a second and think about that just for starters... white people never get to complain that someone is being racist cos its said in another language... that's cowardly. but hey-ho, am i bovvered? nope, i'm bigger than that.
