a (slightly altered) viewer complaint letter sent to network ten this morning by yours truly

dear sir/madam,

i am disgusted at the level of tolerance shown by network ten and the makers of 'big brother' to the blatant racism displayed by one of the housemates on last night's show. nelson, the (BRAINLESS, JOHN HOWARD-LOVING, MISOGYNIST, ANTI-SEMITIC FUCKMONKEY*) housemate in question, referred to 'big brother' as a "jew" after the former refused a request for replacement jewellery by another housemate. apparently this is an inane reference to the archaic stereotype that all jewish people are frugal by nature**. swift action was indeed taken, with nelson being immediately called into isolation and warned for the comment. however i believe this is too soft a reaction. by not removing nelson from the show altogether, i believe a message is being sent out that racism is not appreciated, but will be tolerated nonetheless. i am personally offended as a jewish woman, and morally offended as a human being. i would be just as irate were there to be racist or derogatory comments made against any other racial or ethno-religious group on national television. i request that nelson be taken out of the competition for his appalling behaviour, and i doubt that i am alone in this sentiment.

regards,

(la) nadine *****

*okay, so i didn't actually write this on the original letter in fear of my complaint being disregarded and my name being added to the network ten 'foul-mouthed, bleeding-heart lefty' hit list. it exists, i swear. the schmitz told me. really he did. watch your back friend, for you might be next.

**this is hilarious coming from he who confessed to only having entered the competition in order to win a car and/or make a quick million. i'd call him a hypocrite, but i don't think he'd understand what i was saying, what with my funny jew-speak and all.
