Victoria, your mother has died...

this sentence, sounds dramatic enough the way it is but it takes an even more dramatic and squalid meaning if Victoria is one of the commoners living in the Big Brother house like place.

This has happened in Germany. An already squalid show has found its apotheosis with this sentence. We might assist to a murder in one of the future editions, or perhaps a group rape. why not?

Everybody scandalised by sex when the true pornography has got nothing to do with a dick or a pussy.

I am no moralist, I got no credentials neither authority to say what it's right and what it's wrong to anyone but I am tired of this way of looking into other people's lives.

At the end of the day, the Big Brother, is nothing else but a voyeuristic show where the morbid fantasies of spectators come true.

Everybody scandalised by sex and fights and swearing but we are all there waiting for something like that to happen. but when this happen, here we go, all shouting at the scandal.

There are people that enjoy Formula 1 just because of the high chance of accidents happening, there are people that look with morbid trepidation the count of heart-quakes victims rising...

I am not a shrink and I would really like to find someone that can explain why we are so morbid.

In the case of the TV show, I am sure that the production has decided to raise the audience but you can increase the curiosity of the viewers only if you know what they want to see.

Why are we voyeur? Is it because our lives do not have any thrill? Is it because, at the end of the day we all wanted to be astronauts or pilots and end up being bankers or plumbers?
