Big Brother is now a McDonalds style franchise and the brits selling those videos is just their version of the dutch McVegitarian burger or the McEuro2000 (ick, btw). They're fucking up with Big Brother for 2 reasons: 1) cultural differences 2) changing things. I mean, you dont mess with McDonalds Big Mac toppings do you? comment:www.metafilter.com,2000:site.2482-13098 Sun, 16 Jul 2000 02:22:47 -0800 unlinear http://www.metafilter.com/2482/#13100 "If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face--for ever." -- <A HREF="http://www.levity.com/corduroy/orwell.htm">Long Live Orwell</A> =) comment:www.metafilter.com,2000:site.2482-13100 Sun, 16 Jul 2000 06:55:06 -0800 ZachsMind http://www.metafilter.com/2482/#13151 <a href=http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~allport/chestnut/chestnut.htm>Orwell!</a> comment:www.metafilter.com,2000:site.2482-13151 Mon, 17 Jul 2000 03:31:52 -0800 Mocata
