Oh if only the people who say they didn't like it had the sense to turn it off. Obviously there are a lot of secretly depraved people out there because the show it still on. We are all drawn to the things we really shouldn't be - it's human nature. That's why we give kids boundaries. That's why society has rules. The ideal of a utopian society where all live in a communist dream of 'to each according to their need and from each according to their ability' has already been tried and failed dismally. While we live Godless lives it will happen.
So, 'freedom' you say? Freedom is a relative concept. What good is it without food on your table, clothes on your back and a roof over your head? Should we all be free to do exactly as we like? I don't like my next door neighbour so I shoot him? I need money for a holiday so I go rob a bank or con an old lady?
Get real. Freedom is an esoteric, ephemeral notion. Without boundaries and controls human society disintegrates - take Lord of the Flies as a literary example.
Sometimes we need someone with a little common sense to place boundaries on the mindless masses.
GET RID OF BIG BROTHER!!
I want the freedom to channel surf without being accosted by such crap (in every sense of the word).

Well done Bill. I completely agree with you.

All those posters that keep saying "if you don,t like it just turn it off" miss the mark altogether. I DO NOT watch and NEVER have watched BB but still I have been bombarded with this rubbish. Unfortunately all the other networks have picked it up and replayed and replayed it, so much so that it seems like another TV stunt just to get some free advertising. Either TEN is completly ignorant or they were apart of the event.

Ban th Big Brothel now!

So you are complaining that your ability to CONTROL your children , “The parents’ capacity to maintain control is diminished …” is being usurped by a TV show? Setting boundaries is not necessarily a good way to raise children . Teenagers especially are testing boundaries every single day. Open and frank dialog with children is the best way to raise them, giving them a sense of right and wrong where they know themselves what to do, not hiding behind arbitrary boundaries.

Would I like what done to me? A bit of horseplay between consenting adults. There was no enquiry by the Police because nothing happened.

How dare you raise “those of us with sound morals, ethics and principles” implying that those who disagree with you lack morals, ethics and principles.

I have morals, ethics and principles that may be different to yours does that make me a bad person?

The community is also quickly becoming annoyed at moral and ethical judgements being pushed by a minority to the detriment of all.

George Orwell must be turning over in his grave at the mention of the term "Big Brother" in connection with Channel Ten's nightly airing of post-modernist drivel. One can only hope that there is an afterlife and that when those involved in the current "Big Brother" do pass on, that Orwell will be there to induct the newcomers into a real Big Brother experience. The scene in Chapter Three of 1984 where O'Brien pulls out what remains of Winston Smith's front teeth might just do.

Pornography by stealth, voyerism, ratings from rutting? You have got it all here.
Today's youth is so dumbed down they would not realise they are being exploited by channel Ten and possibly by the sponsors of this junk.
These kids are puppets in a zoo, nothing more, nothing less. They do not have the intelligence to know they are being used because everything that was once out of bounds is now sold as being the norm.
Concentrate on the sponsors , refuse their merchandise and they might find more worthy programmes to back.

Any community only survives when people take care of each other by shielding the vulnerable, such as children and young people, from unnecessary harm.
The very selfish attitude of "if you don't like it turn it of" is no different, and just as irresponsible, as saying "if you don't like me driving at 200 kph on the freeway keep of the road".
A society without boundaries and responsible citizens who care for others more than themselves soon descends into anarchy.
Governments have to then restrict our freedoms even more and we end up with dictatorial tyranny.
Wake up, be responsible, and then we can all live in peace.
