Big Brother Live Launch Show 2009

“Tonight, 16 people move into that house. They have no idea that none of them are housemates.”

-BB Theme Tune-

*screams in excitement*

Awww, I love the BB theme. It’s just that moment at the beginning where it kind of wipes and then it kicks in … love it. And Davina’s opener, although already known by the press and general media of assembled BB fans who read spoilers, was still pretty exciting. Welcome to Big Brother 2009!

We are back … and ready to rock!!

Thank you dave (walking up steps to House) … his first and last mention in the whole series.

Moments away from moving into pure luxury … right?

Diary room chair looks sweet!

Rodrigo is very happy to be here … but nobody is a housemate lol

Board with face sat next to him. Big brother explains no body is a housemate and so not guaranteed a place. No immediate reaction lol.

Has to get another housemate to shave off their eyebrows in the barbers chair witht the clippers , and draw a permanent marker curly moustache and glasses on their face. If completed, both housemates become housemates.

Moustache and glasses have to be redrawn on everyday!!! Haha!

He only has 4 minutes!!!
Everyone quiet!! Haha he says as he walks in

Explaining it, people want to split them.

OMG NOIREEN has been dragged and sat in the chair!! Eyebrows shave doff but may have drawn them on already?!!!

Expressed about permanent marker? Lol

Now she looks very upset in the mirror! Volunteer needs eyebrows shaved off – she still has black lines

Volunteer discussion takes a long time.

Congratulations – they passed and are guaranteed a place.

BB makes an error saying Rodrigo!!

Bedroom now open for these two housemates!!

Viewers decide rest of the cast – live on Sunday we vote for who we want to be a housemate!! See you live on Sunday!

The Sex Education Show vs.Pornography: Review P1

So, Im watching this on 4oD Cathcup (now it works, yay), and I'm also having an online conversation with the friend who told me to watch this documentary! Here is what I wrote:

omg quite a lot to deal with from opening few mins of first episode
im quite shocked already lols

z says she watched it with her dad
embarrasing

OMG
i couldnt cope with that

z: lol i know

my parents would flip and i would die

...

oooo bad times, he mentioned woman and horse
ewww

omg i would NOT want to be those kids
being filmed
what a gross invasion of privacy
hmmmm

gah these advert breaks arent half annoying. in skins you dont notice them, becuase the action is divided into 4 bits for the breaks, but on a dicumentary you want it all to keep flowing

stop bloody introducing everything as if we have just started watching

hmmmmmm
see from a psychological point of view, the research they are condutcing is not the nest way to go about it
and is not ethically sound either

the whole issue over group bias
arg
and social desireability!

i mean, "hands up if you've seen boobs in porn?" there might be one guy who hasn't, for what ever reason
oh i dont want to look like a jerk, ill put my hand up

i applaud the hands on approach, bringing the issue to light etc, well done, but still

i cant help my brain analysing these things from what i have already learnt lol

she just stumbled across a porn site with a video of a child in it ...
hmmmm several thoughts i wish to raise here - some perhaps should be anonymous!

interesting that the men seem to be enjoying the viewing of the freely accessible porn more than the women ..


omg
i can see that these boys are fine with it
but i wouldnt be in this situation
id be soooooo embarrassed at that age
but thats just me [having to look at boobs on a line to find the perfect pair and being filmed]


but the ones in the magazine are not normal, whereas the ones you have been looking at are .. but that guy said they're not normal ... oops

omg yes you interviewed the plastics for the video but ... dont you think 'all boobs have imperfections really' (yes, well done) and 'but dont that just like our bodies?' would promote some kind of response? - in a normal human? or is it just me that already knows this? is it the age thing?

omg full frontal female nudity of teh real life natural models now going down below" as the presenter put it - is the need to shock the children into learning?

"i found it very fascinating to find out that the clit inflates with blood like a penis" - i bet you did, you dirty bugger! lol but in all fairness, is this the reaction most of the kids gave too?

oh i wish these interviewers and presenters knew something about the technology or what they were reviewing
for example, buying a new pc with "adult content filters" would be via software preinstalled

i do know what a router is, she doesnt

(i didnt know you could use a router to filter out porn or adult content or whatever, if you get the "engineer out")
but that isnt the point

im slightly concerned about the pictures of vulvas ... perhaps im already an old fogey who needs to lighten up, this seems to be what the "kids" are seeing now a days? ? ? ?

the teenagers feel the pressure from porn to impress the boys ... becuase this is what the guys (at least the guys surveyed) like ...


Interesting perspective, of course edited for programme but some interesting insights and defiantly things to think about it ... personally and on a bigger scale, both positive and nagative

Thoughts on the New Facebook

I voted 'No' on the official poll
and these are the reasons I posted:


Didn't need changing! After getting used to the old 'new' facebook, I was quite happy with everything, the way it was laid out, the way you had different tabs for different things which separated pictures and status updates etc I was surprised to read you were changing it again, especially after the storm of controversy and unhappy users that created.
Ive got used to the change, and it doesn't particularly bother me anymore, except that it gets slightly confusing and a little of information overload, even though you have made it easier in layout. I do like the highlights section - some good things and some bad things appear here, but my main peve is the middle bit which can get swamped. I don't particularly want to filter anyone out either. I do like the new 'publisher' thing on each page, and the way groups and pages and people look like profiles.
If you were to extend the new design, add how many events one has across the top, with group initiations and application invites ...

Then I ran out of room in the box. Bad times. I hadn't finished what I wanted to say!

... and change the bar on the side, I don't like it! The tabs on the old facebook were much better, as you could seperate groups, links, photos and status updates.

However, saying all this, I have got used to the change and can cope with it, and can't remember the old layout (but this maybe because I use it too much ^^). I generally don't like change and takes me a long time to get used to, especially if the change is unnecessary.

Oh and add a 'Dislike' button :)

Skins, Sereis 3, Episode 2: THE RANT

**May contain Spoilers for Skins (Series 3) (Especially Episode 2) throughout**

OK, so have been soo excited whilst waiting for the new series of Skins, since buying and watching Skins 1 + 2 which I LOVED.
The first episode was poor, it lacked energy, punch and charm, and did little for making me want to like the new characters. It was entertaining, but because of what the characters were doing, and not the characters them selves. They seem to have replaced the old characters with new ones, and are probably going to do the same story lines.

The similarities I have drawn are:

Cook = Chris, Freddie = Tony, JJ = Sid (Boo! Hiss!)
Effy = Michelle (Queen Bee), Naomi = Maxi (Sexuality), Pandora = Sketch? (The weird one!!), Emily = Jal? The other twin would = Anwar out of process of elimination, but I don't think so. (The twins do look like my cousin though lol)

Th introduction of Effy was brilliant, and Cook and Freddie seem Ok. JJ (Or JJJ) is already annoying me - the stereotypical posh, slightly nerdy group hanger-oner, with opinions on 'fun' has been done, and better than the actor who plays him.

The new cast aren't as great as the old ones. Period.
And they set fire to Sid's locker :( :(


Anyway, Episode 2.

After Episode 1, I said I was going to carry on watching them just so I could see what happened, have something to talk about and show my loyalty to the show. At first I hoped it would be amazing, like 1 and 2, if not better, but it wasn't, so I carried on watching hoping and praying that this episode and the series would get better as it went along. They've only just started, I said, lets give them a chance.

Anyway, I tried to stream Episode 2 many many times, and it is either me and my PC, or a problem for 4oD, but it wasn't working, so eventually I started to download it so I could watch it later. (IT TOOK AGES TO DOWNLOAD - literally at least 8 hours. FAIL). Whether this is just because the episode is in demand, or because my PX has issues or just I was downloading in peak time I don't know).

So, I finally got round to watching it, at around ten past midnight, and I'm hoping it shall be good. I have been keeping up with The E4 site with some previews and trailers etc so knew it was going to be about Cook and his birthday party.

Firstly - he is 17? Actor looks much older. Secondly - He has already had a half a bottle of vodka and then does a million shots of tequilla or whatever - and doesn't show any signs of being drunk at all lol?

The entertainment of the party was fun, but it felt like it wasn't contributing to the story. In fact, the whole episode just felt like a massive party - this would be a good thing for Skins, especially since the trailers feature a 'Skins party', but it just felt empty and not linked to the new cast. The introductory episode of 1 has succeeded in showing us what the character are like, but they have failed in making us actually like or believe the characters.

Anyway, the drama continues along, good scene with getting on the boat for the party with the bouncer, but again it is so stereotypical. Blah blah blah - start creating havoc at the party. Great - the food fight and general mess is good - but we still don't care if Cook gets punched in the face . . .

Anyway, so the gang end up in the tunnel after the fight (Great when Cook just laughs on stage) and Effy turns him down - well done. Oh, Pandora on drugs - not believable at all. The fact that they showed them snorting drugs is barley acceptable - yes this is a teen drama and yes it is an 18 and is post watershed - but come on.

Then it starts getting bad. Yes, the whole brothel experience, done by Skins. What fun. NOT. The thing is, I don't actually want to watch the escapades of these new characters. The handjob - verging on the ewwwww. The girls accents = win, love it lol. The nervous guy at the brothel - well done. The kissing - lol.

The next bit I WAS NOT prepared for, and was not ready for what was presented me in that episode - guest star Mackenzie Crook handcuffed with his nipples attached to the electrocuter etc. This was totatlly uncalled for. Also, the violence of the punching in the face was too far, and I had to look away from the screen. No program should make me do this, unless I am scared. I wasn't scared, I was repulsed. The story did not call for this, especially in the second episode, and surely the writers should have found a better way to entertain (or try to) the viewers.
However, the main problem is that they cant justify the drama and the plot and these scenes, because we dont care about the characters! If we had, then it may have been OK, but so far I just feel like we are watching the lives of people, not friends or people we want to care about.

It was so lame.

The episode ended, and I just thought "that was bad - for all the wrong reasons". It wasn't bad as in evil, but was bad as in a let down for Skins, bad as in inappropriate, and bad as in not entertaining. This ultimately is an EPIC FAIL for a show that is supposed to be entertaining, and problems arise as this show is, yes, post watershed, but meant for teenagers. I am normally quite accepting to things people find offensive, as I can see both sides and see the point of view, but at one point I was nearly tempted to actually register a complaint, as so many other people seem to do, which would be a first for me.

Not impressed Skins. Sort it out.

I shall continue to watch the Series, just to see how it progresses, but now I feel its all downhill from here . . .

EDIT: P.S. Oh, and as an after thought - "I'll meet you in the shed! ;) HAHAHAHA

Join my army now!
