‘East Angular’ Momentum
Sadly, far more people are interested in Big Brother the TV show than in Big Brother the all-seeing state that punishes thoughtcrime.
The utterances of some under-educated, famous-for-nothing Londoner to Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty has caused international discomfort (of sorts) between Britain and India.
The show has precipitated a record 30,000 complaints to Ofcom, the British Communications regulator. (This may be helped by the fact that they have a great big “Complain to Ofcom about Celebrity Big Brother” link at the top of their homepage to drum up business.)
Comment of the day however, and advice that more people should listen to, comes from Conservative Party leader David Cameron:
“There’s a great regulator called the off button and I think we should use it.”
