These idiots missed the whole point. The whole idea behind the term ‘Big Brother’ was to showcase the horrors of a totalitarian state where all our actions are watched by a government cult of personality that may or may not exist. Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell is a work of much prophecy and wisdom. It aims to speculate the situation when there is usurpation by the state of the freedom of its citizens, to safeguard its political prowess and agenda. Big Brother is not supposed to be celebrated and waited for every summer. These idiots missed the whole point.
At first I was amused by this decline of common sense in the public and I thought that maybe they simply wanted to entertain themselves for a while. But now it is scary; it’s the seventh bloody season for crying out loud. People who feel elevated and addicted to this ‘reality’ television perhaps forget that just outside their borders, there is a much more serious reality playing. It is quite sad that one of literature’s most famous and powerful villains is conceptually now used to make celebrities out of fools. These house-mates are immature, headless horsemen riding the horse of their imminent but undeserved stardom.
Is it not frightening, even in concept that every action of yours will be watched and accessed by people who you can’t even see? It doesn’t matter why you need the privacy; not every person behind a shut door is a paedophile or serial-killer or even a sex-addict. The question here is why am I watching twelve dickheads on my telly 24 hours a day? Just because 12 million dickheads want to watch 12 of their kind doesn’t give this useless indulgence any worthy cause. Have you noticed that the people who watch the show 24/7 have a Kim Jong look in their eyes? That look of unapologetic stupidity which seems to say that they know what they are doing but don’t know exactly why….
