First of all I don't watch any of the BB "uplate" of "Adults only" shows. I used to like the Friday night games though and everything else I found boring. However I do want to say this. I think that when there is an incidence like we have here that we ought tobe discussing what is acceptable behaviour and what is not. Turkey slaps are NOT acceptable behaviour.
As far as the P&O cruise is concerned, it is significant to point out that the young women who were shown a naked, unconscious woman on the floor and pictures of two men having sex with her, did not think that something was very wrong with that and did nothing to help the woman. When we ignore "turkey slaps" and call them "a joke that went wrong" we are desensitizing our youth to accept it as normal behaviour and this leads to the situation which happened on the cruise. Voyeurism is a sexual perversion which many of us have (apparently). That doesn't make it right or healthy.

Good on you Bill. I agree.

Be big people and do yourself and society a favour …. turn away from your self-centred hedonistic existence and ideas and think of others for a change. You’ll find it a rewarding, growth experience.

Let’s choose the more challenging course of tough-love for self and others, over the soggy and sad sentimental preoccupation with “me, me, me”, that forever promotes individual freedom over self-denial, service and responsibility to society.

Liberal views = Lack of concern for others and self-restraint = Selfish and irresponsible behaviour = Accelerated social decline and anarchy.

HERE ! HERE !

Bill is right on the money... how pitifall that I have to keep my children away from trash...and how pitiful that I have to constantly remind my children that TV demographics of reality shows in no way reflects real life....Once again Bill..you have put into words what I believe

Good on you Bill for speaking up and risking the criticism from people who use such simple arguments as just turn the television off and keep your morals off our freedoms.

As surely as other addictions such as gambling have become part of our culture - try telling a problem gambler to just not go to the pub! - television is one of these addictions and for some people, a real social pressure. We all have the freedom to have an opinion or agenda and it is NOT for anyone else to judge why we have this opinion. Certainly we should not discount a very good argument against this immoral program, named entertainment, due to an apparent political purpose.

I agree with Civiliseus that even if you don't watch it then you WILL still hear about it. Let's be adults here and forget our human defensiveness and agree that Bill, and other supporters have a point and that Channel 10 should listen to this as well as ratings - we know there are more responsible ways to make money!!

The Australian Family Association, that Bill is Vice-President of, is yet another right-wing Christian group unafraid to use any form of media to get its rather fundamentalist message out, using its 'troops'. As a long-term OLO user, my suspicion is aroused by the high number of posters whom I have never read on this site before. Sure enough, when you press the button to check out their previous posts, there are none. These contributors have never before appeared on OLO. I name Grahame, barnaby, Bonehead, imperator and there are at least 6-7 others. There are more first-time posters than regulars, and that is quite unusual for OLO. I smell a rat. Obeying 'orders' guys? What drew you to OLO? Genuine interest in sharing and exchanging opinion, or did Bill need some support? Stacking opinion blogs is not a good look. I repeat, get your morals off our freedoms.
