I'm surprised this hasn't been talked about on here yet (did a search but i couldn't find anything)
Been all over the news the last couple of days.
Basicly, Indian movie star Shilpa Shetty is one of the contestants in this years ********* Big ******* UK. First there was simple bullying because, well, Ms Shetty is a complete idiot. Then it has built up and built up into what everyone thinks is racial ***** (even Shilpa)

The show has been shown over in India, and they ain't happy... In the streets, mobs were making dolls representing Big ******* producers, and BURNING them...
Governments have even been envolved, Big ******* has lost sponsership, and even talk off Channel 4 being sold off...
The most amusing thing for me is the fact that in India they are burning the stick men who are meant to be the producers of the show... If it was the other way round, and a british contestant went over to india and recieved *****, would any brits burn images of their shows producers?... I think not (just an example of their extremely different culture)
I hope this doesn't spark any angry terrorist actions. (I some how always knew Jade Goody would be the cause of my death...)
Anyway, i was just wondering what anyone who has seen this shows opinion is.
