This is a link to the 10th episode.

You can't click on the link for the first episode to get to it. You have to go from inside the video. Although you could click on the first episode, go past the error message, and then go to the first video from that video.

It's weird, I know.

^ Thank you for sending that link, I watched the first episode. It certainly was...different. Not what I expected at all.

Yay another quote!

If I was locked up in Big Brother full of strangers I would be able to sleep I think however I would be really paranoid that someone was going to come in and do something to me (e.g. shave my eyebrows off - a bit random) but I would never be in a room full of strangers because I would most probably just sit in a corner and cry if that happened, that's why I don't like parties, because it's mostly strangers who I would have to socialise with and the thought of doing that just overwhelms me completely

I can only think of one person of was in Big brother and stayed famous for more than 6 months, and that was Jade Goody, firstly because of her controversial race row with Shillipa Shetty so everybody hated her but then she gets Terminal Cancer and then everyone is her best friend (this is nothing against Jade Goody, I'm just having a go at the naive public who believe whatever they are told to believe). I did feel sorry for her when she became terminally ill but in the same breathe if a random member of the public was to become terminally ill then no were near as many people would take notice.

Yeah fame = no privacy is unaminously agreed formula now

People who do genuinely good things to help others deserve fame but the Big Brother idiots don't at all. As much as I now hate Big Brother. I despise MTV. They're the worst for exploting members of the public and turning the into false idiots which is how everyone is supposed to act. Programmes like Made (think that's its name) and My Super Sweet 16 (I LOATHE THIS PROGRAMME) are great examples of exploiting the public and also tells the viewers that you should be a size zero and wear 10 tonnes of make up and should act like a spoilt brat who has to always get their own way (Whoever made My Super Sweet 16 If I ever meet him/her I'm gonna tell them straight)

Magazines like The National Enquirer are good at brain-washing naive fools into believing that only being stick thin and being married to a rich celeb with loads of money is what everyone should aspire to.

Rant Over with, seriously though, MTV is my number 1 enemy I won't watch their crap.

Eep, good point. There would be the paranoia to cope with too. I'd be worried of them shaving my eyebrows off too, or even just talking about me behind my back. I hate parties too, they completely stress me out. I never know what to do with myself and generally just sit in a corner not talking to anyone and trying not to look lonely. Hence why I don't go to parties like that.

The whole thing about Jade Goody drove me mad. Getting cancer doesn't miraculously make someone a good person. I'm not saying she deserved cancer, I'm just saying that her having cancer shouldn't change the public's view of her so drastically. If everyone got such ridiculous media response when they got terminal cancer, there wouldn't be time to report any other news. I hate how fickle the general public can be. One minute everyone was ranting about how much they hated Jade Goody, and then the next they were wondering around with "I love you Jade" banners and declaring that they "always liked her from the start". It's hypocrisy to such an extreme degree that it's almost unbelievable.

I've never heard of those programmes (I don't have MTV) but I can see why you don't like them. The world seems to be intent on making everyone feel like crap.
It's like in all of those celebrity magazines, when they show pictures of a celebrity who is perfectly thin but has gained a couple of pounds, with the statement: "_____ has let herself go!". Do the people who write these magazines have no conscience?

Yeah I don't go to parties because I know that I'd be just sitting in a corner by myself and I wouldn't be good company for anyone in these kind of situations. I can get paranoid very easily as well when with people I'm not too familiar with cos I'm always wondering if they're gonna turn on me and do something which makes me feel uncomfortable.

Jade Goody was controversial at best, alright I was feeling a little bit sorry for her family when she passed away (especially her two sons, since she died on mother's day) but prior to her death all the news was about her and proper newsworthy material was being shunted out (e.g. the credit crunch) which should have been given greater coverage at the time instead of her (a little news about her would have been perfectly acceptable, but there was waaay too much). But the people who were saying they hated her one day and the next day saying she's the best thing that's ever lived are extreme hyprocrites, as you correctly stated

You should be really glad that you don't have MTV, they show loads and loads of $hit (sorry to swear, but that's he only way I can put it) which naive teenagers will watch with such intent and interest that they must act exactly in the way they seen on the TV. it's sad really that self image and peer pressure dominates the teenage years these days

I feel the same way in such situations, well, most situations actually. Social events just make me feel even more alienated, because I end up sitting in a corner being ignored, wondering when is an acceptable time to leave. Fortunately I don't get invited to many parties.

That's true, I think it's awful for her two sons. I'm glad she managed to raise some money for them before she died as well, I guess if she's going to get that much attention it might as well go to a good cause. I think the news people need to sort their priorities out. There are much worse things going on in the world than, for example, some celebrity breaking up with their spouse, yet the latter often seems to get more coverage. I don't understand it.

I want it to go back to when adolescents would spend their spare time building wooden carts and riding them down hills (not that I remember that time..but still ). I don't think TV is a bad thing at all, I just think some of the programmes can be more harm than good, especially for those who are easily influenced. I'm not saying I'm above anyone else my age (quite to the contrary actually), as I seem to find myself hating the way I look and the way I am every day, I just wish it wasn't so much of an issue in life.

Self Image and Peer pressure are the number one things that teenagers must face these days, that's why I wish I was a teenager 50 years ago, because I get the impression that these two elements were much less problematic back then. Adolescents are deemed adults as well pretty much these days i.e. teenagers and even kids are forced to grow up before their time, shame really, I used to love playing with toy cars and used to love trains (I still do actually ) When you hear on the news about people in the armed forces being K.I.A (Killed in Action) they're give literally 10 seconds worth of coverage despite the fact that he/she is a hero as they have sacrificed their lives for their coutry which is an exceptionally courageous act, but this is overlooked for "much more important things"... like Madonna adopting another Malawian child, I don't particularly care about here latest publicity stunt (alright, she is also being good by taking a child out of poverty) but because it's Madonna who is adopting a child she gets 30 minutes of every hour of news coverage, if my mum was to adopt a poverty-stricken African child, the press wouldn't care in the slightest, neither would the wider world. TV seems to work backwards, with the least important/most stupid things getting the best TV coverage first with the serious issues being raised last and only briefly. Although Sky News does provide a very good news service compared to a lot of news channels, they still to exaggerate things sometimes.

I think it's shocking how each year the age kids are 'growing up' gets lower. When I was 10, I was still walking around with a 101 dalmatians lunch box, playing with pokemon cards. Yet these days, 10-year-olds are walking around with mobile phones and 5 layers of makeup. It seems such an awful waste of the innocence of childhood that I miss so much. I feel sorry for them, they're missing out on a hell of a lot of relatively hassle-free life. I'm also a bit sceptical about Madonna's new adoption. I don't quite understand why she has to go to Malawi to adopt, against the rules of that country, when there are plenty of 'unwanted' kids elsewhere, whom could be legally adopted in a much more official and relaxed situation. It feels almost as if she snatched those children away just because she could. I understand that the kids she adopted weren't in the best of situations before she adopted them, and I understand that this is therefore a nice thing to do, but it does seem like she's trying to get the public to like her, rather than doing it purely for the kids. I may be wrong and I probably haven't heard the full story but, to be honest, I'm not sure if I would want to. There are many people in the world doing good deeds at a given point in time, so why is it only the celebrity-involved (and usually much more minor) good deeds that are given such weight by the news channels? It seems bizarre that these people who often only got famous by very trivial means could take up such a huge section of public interest.

When I was 10 I loved my toy cars, Crash Banidcoot and I'd only ever been on a pc in school, I'd hardly ever heard of a mobile phone and I didn't know anything about make up, who wore it and why. A kit of parents would say that giving their 10 year old child is for them to use in case of an emergency, which I understand completely, and agree with. But everything else isn't right now. 10 year olds won't be playing toy cars or child-themed videogames, but instead they'll be on the net on stuff like facebook, (I think that this a waste of time and a way for paedophile's to do part of their work), porn is ridiculously easy to access for anyone on a pc and I hate the fact that so many girls aged 10 and up wear make-up which they don't need at all and shouldn't really want to wear in the first place. Childhood innocence and hassle-free life are hardly allowed to exist these days. The pressures that magazines and tv creats just makes things even worse.
What I didn't get with Madonna's adoption was that at first she wasn't allowed to adopt a second child, however a few weeks later this was overturned and then she was. Why did this happen? I didn't get that at all. The judge should either have said no for the first child and then no for the second child, or yes for adopting both children (the first time of asking). The Malawian judges can't just say yes to one and then no to another really, it's not like the children are part of a Pic N Mix. Allowing one child to be apoted and the other not to be (at first) is completely wrong in my opinion. I would like to know what Madonna's motives are behind these adoptions, I certainly hope it ain't for publicity, but it most probably is. The news channels made her out to be the best thing ever when the reality is children get adopted all the time but 99.99% of adoptions aren't given any news time at all. If no other adoptions are given news-time, then why should Madonna's?

The first time I properly started using the internet (for anything other than homework) was when I was 13.5, and then I still had dial-up so didn't go on it much. I've never joined any site like facebook or myspace, as they've never appealed to me at all. I prefer sites with community and anonymity. I think children are expose themselves to a lot of adult content on the internet and television these days. I was still watching kids' cartoons until I was about 14. It's a real shame because I know I miss the childhood innocence, so I just think it's a waste that these kids seem so keen to leave that age behind. I dreaded being a teenager when I was a child, but most children seem to look forward to it.

Yes, I didn't get that at all either. The adoption system does seem to be a bit screwed. Then again, it does depend on the individual child's situation. Perhaps the family didn't want to give up their baby? Perhaps she bribed them...
Exactly my thoughts, hundreds of adoptions are going on around the world but no one else gets a mention for their kindness, just Madonna. I understand that she is in the public eye a lot because of her profession, but I think the media takes this sort of thing to extremes.

The first time I went on the internet was when I was about 13 as well, and like you it was only dial up so it was patchy at best and I couldn't really goon it for very long. Computers bored me at first and I didn't have the foggiest on how to use them. I used to spend a lot of time on my PS2, as I knew how it worked. I did get a MSN and tried to act NT in terms of communicating random people at time, but it never really worked. MSN is rather boring now when I come to think of it actually and I haven't been on it for about a year. Facebook and Myspace I am a strong hater of. They bore me to death and I really really really don't see the point in them at all, to me there's absolutely no appeal whatsoever and It think that they're basically a haven for paedo's. Also myspace and facebook I hear are used a lot to arrange "school fights" as silly as that may sound that is really bad.

Before I joined this forum I used to post on the forum for the programme "24", but even then it wasn't much, because I got nervous posting on that forum (which is a bit weird). Children do indeed expose themselves to a lot of adult content and TV in general these days, because traditional family time exists around the TV now. Adult content is too easy to access and can spread very quickly. I've lost count of the number of porn movies and other violent movies I've seen on people's mobile phones. Phones are used to bully as well now through texts. This is why I'm very, very careful on who I share my number with. I never liked watching cartoons beyond the age of 12 but I replaced this by watching a lot of sport, which I see nothing wrong with. I used to be terrified of turning 18, I remember crying once I got that worried about it (weird I know).

The adoption system in this case is very, very screwed. It makes no sense to me at all, even if it did depend on the child's situation, which in both cases seemed to me to be very similar, both poverty-stricken and both in need of help. She could well of bribed then, it's seems bad bribing them but it could be for the child's good in the future. I hope if I was to adopt a child from anywhere in the future that it would be for the child's good, and not for a publicity stunt...

I go on MSN occasionally but I find it awkward unless the person on the other side is very chatty and I know them very well. I never talk to people I know in RL online because I find that really awkward and fake. I've never had any desire to join facebook etc. even though almost everyone else my age is on it. Even my gran has an account. Part of the reason I avoid facebook etc. is because it would be so easy for people to post insulting comments on there and I'd feel like a loser because I wouldn't have many friends or contacts or whatever.

I feel nervous about posting on some sites too. When I was 13/14 I joined a sim site/forum and it took me about a year to bring up the courage to go into the chatroom and about another year to make a post on the forum. I was worried everyone would reject me or shout at me. I even get a little apprehensive before posting a topic on WP .
I agree, there's a lot of innapropriate videos on kids' mobile phones. Plus, there's the 'happy slappers' who think it's fun to beat people up and video it on their mobiles.

There's a photo about what really happened behind Madonna's second adoption coming on TV soon. I might watch it to find out if it was as screwed up as I think it was.

WTF is with all the quotes??

It's the discussion between me and Hala, and we like the pattern it makes.

Yeah there's a programme on Channel Tonight at 8pm showing apparently what really happened in the second adoption of Madonna's Malawian child. It's on at 9pm as well on Channel 4 + 1.

MSN is just plain boring and pointless to me now, it only vaguely interested me at the best of times and when it comes to chatting to good mates I used to do it a lot but I've found that chatting to them in real life is much better as you get to see the person's facial expressions as well (not that I can read all of them) I hate typing "lol" as iI find it patronising and boring as well. I would be very embarassed if my nan learnt to use the internet never mind getting a facebook account It's ridiculously easy for insulting comments to be posted and I highly doubt that the website is being moderated properly so a lot of these comments remain unnoticed. I don't feel like a loser by not having a Facebook account and you shouldn't feel like one whether you have one or not.

I was shy at all at first on posting on the 24 forum, but then gradually I became more and more shy towards it and I stopped posting completely. When I post on here I'm a little tense as to whether the topic I post about and if it will get a lot of responses as I like to thin that my threads are fairly popular and relevant in certain contexts.

I haven't seen that many happ slapping recordings on phones however I have seen quite a lot of fighting in general, and crappy stupid gang videos which are really laughable. Mobiles are good in the technological sense but in terms of privacy they make privacy worse f anything.

I dreamt that my dad was Dr. Cox the other day. While I tend to have some Coxian traits myself (and think my personality is more like his than J.D.'s, though I am not too much like either of them I don't think), it may have something to do with how I am always seeking the approval of my parents who I respect a lot, and my dad, while mostly pretty even-tempered sometimes gets upset seemingly out of nowhere, especially if I seem to be in the way. (We're moving and times are fairly stressful now.)
