What do you get when you put an ignorant contestant on CBS's, "Big Brother" and air it in front of millions of viewers? You get news like this, from Yahoo's website.
A National Autism Group is in an uproar and for a good reason, too. Apparently, a contestant from CBS's show, "Big Brother" proclaimed that people with developmental disabilities are retards. What's worse is this is a man who works with disabled people, everyday. He went on to tell his partner that he could call them whatever he wanted, since he works with them. Gee I wonder who hired him in the first place?
So, what did CBS's do to prevent this from being seen by millions of viewers? Not a damn thing, apparently. How nice of them, huh?
I could go on with this, but I won't. Neither the contestant nor CBS deserve the publicity.
One thing I will say, Not only does CBS need to apologize, they need to get rid of that damn contestant and make him apologize as well. Enough said.
I don't watch big brother but I heard about it from one of my blogging friends. Personally, I'm hoping the guy loses his job!
ReplyDeleteYour right CBS needs to say they are sorry for all this Bull they have on their show. I do not watch them anymore like I used to because of this stuff.
ReplyDeleteThere's a reason why I don't watch lame-ass reality shows like that and I think you just mentioned it.
ReplyDeleteDeb,
ReplyDeleteYou're right. The company he works for needs to boot him right out the door. This makes me so angry!
Lily,
I still watch CBS because CSI is on that station. Sad, but true.
Celise,
I agree. I have never seen "Big Brother" and I don't care to either.
This is terrible! This person should not be working with autistic kids and have a mentality as such.He should resign from his job!
