Is this not one of the most obscene examples of hypocisy ever?
Carol McGiffen uses the N word while explaining a story to a fellow housemate, within earshot of nobody else, and Big Brother decides to broadcast it with a bleep. Then when calling Carol to the diary room Big Brother repeats the same word to Carol when repeating the conversation and it is allowed to go out on air uncensored for all to hear...from the mouth of Big Brother itself, in a way it was not from Carol!
Why was Carol's use of the word censored, yet Big Brother's use of the word fully broadcast? WHY?
Carol McGiffen has done nothing wrong at all. Big Brother / producers have committed a huge wrong and made a massive hypocrisy, for whatever strange motives they may be trying to stoke up. :mad:

Precisely! Big Brother have deliberately decided to offend themselves by their own actions. It's that simple. Carol did nothing wrong at all. Big Brother decided to show the exchange between Carole and Louie. Nobody else heard the chat between the two of them. She was simply forwarding a well known factual story about somebody else, and no more than that.
Offended by Carol, no. Offended by Big Brother, absolutely.
Big Brother are the ones here who have caused massive offence, not simply by use of the N word aloud, but more by the staggering hypocrisy they have displayed. Why have they done this? Do they want a race row? Very foolish.
she could have used just the letter N to get her point across, but no, she had to use the word for an effect, nothing more.
Should have aired Carol saying it too, it was nearly 11pm for god sake. Should have been a strong language warning before the final part
Having done so, can anyone offer a decent explanation why they bleeped her use of the word out while moments later allowing Big Brother's use of the word to go out? It's as illogical as it is hypocritical.
Is there a deeper reasoning behind this, or could it just be a plain old cock up?
To show why they gave the warning. Not everyone would have know why they gave her one.
As could Big Brother in that case if they have such a problem with it. The OP is right - rank hypocrisy and all done for publicity. They must think we're stupid.
It pays to be deeply cynical over the reasons why this was shown tonight and why they did so in the way they did.
They are playing a very dangerous game here with this racism warning while having the man in question in the house. No good will ultimately come out of this for Ron I fear. I can imagine his family and friends are mortified by the fact the show has gone down this route within just the first couple of days already. He could be hung out to dry here, and looks somewhat naive about what he has walked into it appears.
I think we saw Dexter's too. However I think Carol may have been under the impression her own warning would remain private. Some have stated that she should not have accepted it and much as I tend to agree, she was not to know if, and how it would be presented on TV tonight.
I wonder who passed the "Naughty" word for broadcast on tonights show? Surely this would have to have come from outside the BB production crew themselves and from the controller or somebody at 5? Are the people we see on BBOTS typical of those who make the show? A bunch of daft, immature twentysomethings out to shock for the sake of it? Where are the wise heads?
There will be some kind of consequence I'm sure. Big Brother was the indefensible one here. They have proved to be offensive....not Carol.
As hypocrisy goes, it takes some beating!
I don't suppose he came cheap either, as he seems well enough off already, and the way he was left as the last housemate to be revealed shows you that he is considered by Big Brother to be the real "star" housemate, however wrong or deluded that might prove to be. It would be nice if he surprised everyone and changed perceptions generally but so far the omens are not looking promising.
We can substitute Carol's name for Ron's now, after last night, seeing a 74 year old man getting a telling off like a 9 year old boy in the headmasters office.

Yet it's apparently OK to be offended by the uncouth vocabulary of the geordie Charlotte in comparison, without a peep of annoyance from Big Brother in her direction. :mad:
