BAD CBS, BAD!!!
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.
