Can you honestly tell me that you believe Endermol have no people on their production team who
a) Have no prejduices
B) would not manipulate a disabled hm for the sake of entertainment

and finally
C) would you like the risk to be taken, just to find out if I am wrong in my assumptions?

I mean it's not as though they would look for these kinds of personality traits in a disabled people on first impressions is it? And they would surely have an open, clear unbiased mind before they cast judgement on them wouldn't they?”

i dont like where this thread is going at all....look at the "black winner" thread!!
is that really what you want??
are you now saying that a human being (or BB producer

)should not notice a disabled person is even disabled?

what evidence is there to suggest the BB producers have a "disability prejudice attitude"?

for someone who refused to believe that marco was posting on the forum on the grounds of no evidence (despite beth hart verifying it to you personally) you surely must have evidence to support your claims

a) & B) i do not know any members of the endemol production team nor do i have any insight into their beliefs or views on certain subjects so i shall pass judgement until i gain such knowledge and i will get back to you. i dont think anything to that extreme has ever been done in previous big brothers but it depends on the extent of the manipulation

C) i would not like to see it happen, no. but there was a disabled person on catchphrase once and i wasnt thinking " i hope roy walker doesn't start cracking tastless jokes about disabled people or just start beating her round the head with a brick...etc." as i had no reason to believe he would and therefore awarded him the benefit of the doubt. i suggest you do the same.

The programme will film in London between 14 February and 15 March 2005, although you will not required for every day of the shoot.

Does HE tune out to you when he tunes into the TV?
Is map reading a total mystery to HER?
Can HE never find his keys?
Does SHE always want to talk about EVERYTHING?
Are you fed up of constantly bickering about this?
The BBC is making a new science documentary about differences between men and women, and we want to help couples who are total opposites to understand each other better. If this sounds like you, or someone you know,

I think it's a good idea not to restrict anyone because of age, sex, sexuality, race or disabllity.

They should concentrate more on watch the actual person will add to the show and take part in; not these other factors.

Oh come on, a disabled person in there would be downright ridiculous. I don't even need to give examples.

No offence btw.

Actually if they were to discriminate do to disablity they would be wrong not to mention illegal!

Whilst there would be problems to overcome, that's the point! They should be actively overcoming those problem.

I'm not being PC here, but to suggest that anything reguarding disablity as "downright ridiculous" IS going to course great offence to many!
