NEWS: Fingergate. Seriously. That Is What It Is Being Called.

Apparently, the guy in the incident is married and sleeping with the other woman that was drunk offa her ass and in the bed (and was also getting fingered at the same time).

This guy sounds like a real fucking asshole. Drunk OR sober.

Both motions are seconded.

So much anger.

Seriously, Big Brother should hand over all footage to the police and help the poor woman press charges against him.

But "-gate" is so appealing. Visualize a gate slowly swinging open, and the truth emerging.

I'm going to start using "fingergate" as slang for "vagina" from now on. It doesn't sound any more retarded than "va-jay-jay."

I think Africa was considering an anti-rape device that a woman could put up her poonani that would bite onto a guy if he tried to take advantage. When I opened this topic I thought it was going to be about that. But like I always say... they should give the death penalty in certain rape cases.

Also, the fact that the name of the production company is usually "Endemol [insert country name]" is a complete coincidence.

Thanks for your well-informed input.

Apparently, it's still the stone age in parts of Africa -- TV studios, for instance.

The Director-General of the BBC in the UK was sacked for poor editing of a press trailer for a documentary on the Queen. The South African TV producer's (infr)action is worthy of a beheading.

I know you're clever so hope you concur that Kid Nation must also go. Please inform when reality TV viewer hunting season begins. I want to bag the limit in all 50 states.

So... after a brief search, I found this article.

Now this guy sounds like a total pig but lets be sure before we break out the firing squad.

this is only one source, so I"m looking for corroboration


I'm no fan of reality tv... so fucking lowest common denominator shit. But with an impending WGA strike, I'm afraid we can only look forward to more of the same.

There is a version of Big Brother in almost all countries. Please note this happened on the SOUTH AFRICAN version of Big Brother, which is an independent show produced in SOUTH AFRICA and really has not much to do with any other version, in any other country (except for the name.)

Yes, let's please not drag the good name of a show like Big Brother through the mud.

lol. I had that exact thought as I read that post.

It really takes a lot of plummeting for reality tv to hit a new low. This kind of did it.

... I really wonder about some people... what the fuck is wrong with them?... I can only say that I really hope they get theirs... They will. eventually. Kharma always bites you in the ass one way or another...

but still... that poor girl... and what a fuck head loser... sheezus... >.< bleghhhh..

Thank you!!! I couldn't have said it better myself!!!

I'm not sure what outrages me more... the assault itself, the onlookers who did nothing, the camera people who continued to film it, the producers who aired it, or the execs who justified it.

This is beyond merely disgusting!!!

and I thought the Australian one was doing well with the dick massage and the turkey slap, apparently not well enough.
I can't believe they tried to cover it up after airing it I can't believe they aired it I can unfortunately believe they would stand by and let it happen

Am I the only who thinks of a finger getting slammed in a closing gate when I hear the term "fingergate"?

Really bad move on the TV end of things, any crimes committed during recording should be dealt with immediately. What if someone snapped and threatened to kill someone? You'd hope they would intervene before they end up with what could amount to snuff footage (and evidence of negligence on their part)... I suppose if it weren't a live feed though, people might never have known outside of the cast and the television crew, in which case who knows what type of "intervention" could occur. My guess, they'd keep the unconscious woman in the dark after paying everyone else off with hush money. As bad as it is hopefully it will at least bring attention to the reality and prevalence of sexual assault, although I'm not sure if awareness alone will help reduce its incidence.

Dentata?

And I thought American television was the worst.

What the hell is happening to the world when people can get away with this shit? i mean come on now? and fingergate? what the fuck?

glurp

Best reply ever.

Reality series producers seem to mine applicants for the most volatile personalities and volatile combinations of personalities. Amplify that with each individual's seeming hope to gain some sort of quasi-celebrity status via reality shows. Toss in some alcohol as a catalyst, leave the cameras rolling and wait for the "shocking" (aka ratings-boosting and show-selling) footage to pile up.

So Big Brother Africa got their shocking footage. Should've been careful with what they wished for.

Did anyone notice the sign I posted at the door of this band wagon?
