Big Brother and the sadness of our culture

I'm at SAGGA camp which means daily newspapers! Last year having been in Sweden I'd nearly forgotten this phenomenon.

I was drawn to the Johann Hari column in todays independent. It made for really gut wrenching reading.

It is irritating enough that there is no shame in ignorance these days, without aspects of our culture having people aspire to it.

Fourtunately, having had a new computer to assemble and get working followed by lots of pictures to clean up, my exposure to the recent events of the BB house has been blissfully small :)

Unfortunately the anti-aspirational problems Big Brother has highlighted aren't caused by the programme itself.

Whether you watch it or not, whether it is broadcast or not even, makes no difference to the issues raised in the column.
