I love how in Asia, when something pisses the public off, instead of writing letters of disgust or making some sort of formal complaint, they just take to the streets and burn dummies and stuff.

I wonder if they think Channel 4 are going to react like: "Uh oh. If they're prepared to burn things in the streets, they must be angry. Let's cancel BB."

By the way, has anything racist actually been said yet? I know they're a bunch of slags and they're bullying her, and she's gold compared to them, but all I heard was the scouser say 'They eat with their hands in India'.

I think there's a difference between cultural ignorance and all out racism. To be honest, they're three of the stupidest people ever, but I think they'd realise that to pass racist comments in front of millions of viewers could get them into a bit of trouble.

Anyway. I'm not happy about the bus fares going up in Burnley, so I'm off to stand in town, burning a picture of a bus.
