Right On, Lefty Tim!
According to The Source Of Anything Worth Knowing, some of the lads spent part of tonight’s birthday festivities telling racist jokes about “N-bombs” - apparently slang for “niggers”.
Feed watchers report Tim attempting to step in to stop the jokes. The boys were joking for around 15 minutes before the feeds were cut for a couple of minutes. When the feeds resumed the jokes had stopped.
If this story is true - well then, way to have big righteous balls, Lefty Tim! Especially in the face of peer pressure!
Of course, I don’t exactly know what the jokes were in order to properly rate the shitheadness of the lads involved - and as we all know, the inappropriateness level of jokes is notoriously hard to judge and totally subjective. That said, indulging in any sort of racist humour on a show like Big Brother isn’t just offensive and hurtful, it’s just fucking stupid. Hello, microphone! Hello, cameras! Hello, millions of viewers!
Keep on keepin’ on, Lefty Tim. We heart you and your wee pointy head.
PS: We would like to point out that indulging in “nigger” jokes is generally fucked whether you’re on a show like Big Brother or telling jokes down the pub. It’s just that if you’re on the telly and telling poor taste jokes, you’re not just lame, you’re a fucking moron.

Some of the jokes were very racist. I will only tell you 2 of them just so you can see what sort of jokes they were and as I don’t want to offend people. “What do you call an n-bomp with a sheet of tin?” “A tenant”
“What do you call an n-bomp with ten sheets of tin?” “A real-estate angent.”

Elitist prat speaks
Normally, in Post-Keating Australia, I wouldnt risk the Populist fatwa that the following rant will invoke. But fuck it, Ive had enough. Call me an elitist prat all you want. I cant believe people can physically watch that shite.
Every time Ive ever accidentally come across BB while surfing, there’s either been some bloody surf-moron saying “wot oi reckin, is, roight, she’s just spewin coz of wot x said …” OR, absolutely bugger-all is happening. Zip. Nada. Sweet f’n Football Association. Some guy scratching his arse in bed…. and a captive nation, holding their breath, wondering, “..will he fart?”
