India will be declaring war on Britain any minute now. The reports of the street protests and burning of effigies (Jade?) over what's going on in Celebrity Big Brother are just surreal. Hopefully this will be the beginning of the end of reality tv here in the UK. Though I won't be holding my breath.

Background info for those not in the know.

heh, I was reading earlier that the Indian Government were waiting on a report and planned to raise the issue with the British Government, I always suspected Jade Goody would bring about nuclear apocalypse.

As they've apparently got a million extra veiwers though, C4 will be cackeling and planning to put a BNP member in the summer show, Heat'll have Goody on their cover when it's over saying 'Im not a racist bullying bitch, Im just thick and dont meant it really'.

Suddenly that nuclear apocalypse doesnt look so bad in comparison. ;)

I don't know which makes me sadder...that they are doing this to the girl or that a million extra viewers tuned in to see them doing this to the poor girl.

Simon, could you tell me more about these people? I haven't heard of them ever - just how thick are they? (I do know "Heat" - they used it last week on the premiere episode of "Extras.")

Thanks!

Shilpa is a very well known actress in India and very bright and lovely by all accounts. Her three persecutors are really thick, Jade was the star of Big Brother 3 and has had huge media interest ever since. Jo was one of the singers in a teen pop group called S Club 7 and Danielle was a former Miss England.

The rest of Big Brother are pretty much non entities apart from Dirk Benedict and Jermaine Jackson.
