Big Brother is influencing you

Big Brother's influence spreads - from the tabs, to the broadsheets, to my mum, to school, where, it was reported this morning, the black kids and the white kids are ganging up on the Asian kids and signing 'apple' to them. This means All Paki People Leave England. Children are so charming. This is kind of unusual for a deaf school, as usual insults would be, for example, an 'L' signed to mean lesbian, or a made-up sign which involved jutting out the lower lip to mean 'Fuck off', which went on amongst the children for a week or so, until the adults discovered out what it meant. Deaf palare. So, an acronym is a bit complex, and must have been picked up from outside of school/the deaf community. Adults are so charming.

On the subject of BB, I don't seem to remember anyone complaining about racist attitudes towards the asylum seeker in the regular series of 3(?) years ago; indeed, no-one complained about the homophobia of said asylum seeker to the gay fellow who didn't like him on grounds of race. But then again, neither were young or pretty. No-one complains about the sexist behaviour of the casting for the regular series when the dimmest, blondest women who think that wearing a Playboy bunny outfit is empowering are picked over more interesting people, such as Anna the ex-nun from the first series. No-one complains about Dirk Benedict's misogyny. Moreover, the Sun (whose own face is pretty much one of HATE), is picking on the fattest and ugliest of the three white girls picking on the brown girl. Plus ca change.
