pinoy big brother is a day care center and other musings
if you thought our version of pinoy big brother (at least the first season) was too racy for philippine tv (remember the sam-chx liplock?), get a hold of this story i found on the auusie big brother at theage.com.au and at perezhilton.com (the dirt on perez hilton describes the "sexual incident" much clearer and more graphically, if there's such a word). apparently, according to perez hilton, the two guy housemates (evicted by now and under investigation by aussie police) held down a girl housemate on her bed and rubbed their penises all over her face. it's not clear whether the girl consented to it (but if had to be held down, she wouldn't have. duh), and network ten (which shows aussie big bro) won't run or promote the footage.don't get me wrong; i hate anything that this big brother thing is trying to machinate into our collective consciousness. but really. think about it: it makes our big brother pale in comparison, and in a really good way. (this is one of the days i'd like to think philippine tv is not as trashy as what's out there, even though that might not exactly be the case)
here's the link to the site. but in case y'all lazy to click on the link, i copied the text for you. but please, for the love of gawd, click on the link ( :-D )

Uproar over Big Brother footage
July 2, 2006 - 9:55PM
Footage of an incident which led to the removal of two contestants in the reality television show Big Brother will be reviewed by Queensland police, the Federal Government says.
Security guards yesterday escorted "Ashley", a pseudonym for 20-year-old Michael Cox, of Perth, and 21-year-old "John", whose real name is Michael Bric, of Melbourne, from the Big Brother house on the Gold Coast following what the show's producers said was a "breach of the rules".
It is claimed the two were involved in a sexual incident with fellow housemate "Camilla" in the early hours of Saturday morning.
"Clearly this is a matter for the police and I am advised that Network Ten has provided the footage of Saturday morning's incident to the Queensland police," Senator Coonan told reporters today.
She said it was now up to police to determine if any charges arise from the footage, but confirmed that fellow housemate Camilla had been interviewed by police.
Senator Coonan said she would seek an urgent assessment from the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) which regulates television content.
"I have spoken with the chairman of ACMA this morning and he will be providing an urgent assessment about possible breaches of codes of conduct relating to television content," she said.
Senator Coonan said it was understood that footage of the incident was not broadcast on television but was streamed via the internet to an unspecified audience who logged on in the early morning of Saturday.
Queensland Police later said there was no investigation, and would not confirm if they had received footage of the incident to review.
"We have not received a formal complaint on the allegations," a police spokeswoman said.
Senator Coonan said that as a parent and a viewer she regarded the incident on the footage as very serious.
"I today have been in touch with the chief executive officer of Channel Ten and have obtained an undertaking that this incident will not be promoted or shown by the channel," she said.
"I think you have to be extremely careful about what you allow to be depicted on television as appropriate behaviour."
Although she had not seen the footage of the alleged incident, Senator Coonan said "it seemed to be very inappropriate".
"It makes me very concerned if there are these sorts of incidents on television and I do think we need to get to the bottom of it," she said.
The reality television show has had its share of controversy, with Network Ten last month withdrawing the Adults Only version of the show after complaints by government MPs.
The weekly one hour program featured footage not shown during the early evening version of the reality show.
"I am not in a position to say what might happen with the ordinary version, if I can put in that way, of Big Brother," she said.
"But I think it is appropriate if we take urgent action and have a look at it."
Ten had toned down Big Brother-Adults Only after complaints last year about its late night show, then called Big Brother Uncut.
But it axed the segment after Government MPs again complained about what a party room spokesman said was "gratuitous language and displays of sexuality".
Last year, the broadcasting watchdog found two episodes of the show's "uncut" version had breached the industry code by screening sexual antics, nudity and foul language.
"I am not at all pleased about that fact that these matters keep surfacing," Senator Coonan said.
"It's important that the producers of these shows keep within the rules and if the rules aren't sufficient to deal with matters of taste and matters that offend a lot of viewers I think it might be something we (should) have a look at."
Senator Coonan said she would hear back from the AMCA tomorrow.
"I expect to have more to say tomorrow," she said.
Federal Opposition Leader Kim Beazley also waded into the issue.
"If my advice is worth anything to the folk who run Channel 10, and how they choose to conduct themselves is their business, I'd say 'make this Big Brother the last'," he told journalists.
At the start of tonight's eviction show, host Gretel Killeen said it gave her "great sadness" to announce that John and Ashley were "no longer housemates" after a breach of the rules.
"Today, and presumably for the remainder of the week, you may be inundated with exaggerated ill-informed stories in the media which do nothing but perpetuate ignorance and hurt those involved," she said.
"Ashley and John were fantastic housemates, bringing joy not only to their fellow housemates but to Australia as a whole, and we're very sorry that one foolish incident on their behalf has led to them leaving."
She also wished both well for the future.#

i figure that if they do that here, we'll either have one of many things: either we'll never from big brother again, or the "housemates" will star in their own "duda" porn flick. also some things to consider: if the future pinoy housemates who do that are goodlooking enough, they might even do a keanna reeves turnaround and be matinee idols of some sort. the church will enjoy cajoling "told you so! told you so!" in all high-ass moralist glory.
gawd, it'll be hot, if it happens. IF it ever gets off the ground.

i just was looking at the photos of the two evicted housemates. odd that they use aliases instead of their first real names. and it's even odd that they don't look good to begin with.
they look sooo fugly, except for "ashley" (guy on the right). he looks like one of the american idol finalists, the guy with the jacked-up teeth and the disturbing jawline (i forgot his name). he looks a lot more doable than the guy on the left. but really, trailer park trash don't turn me on so much.

at any rate, it doesn't make me like pinoy big brother any more than i like champoy for candy. ugh, iba pa rin yung first season. actually, iba pa rin yung walang big brother.
