Bearware | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 08:33 am     After reading the 'going too far' thread, I would really like to tell Arnie and the producers of BB that if they choose to air ANY of the filth spewing from the mouths of those women about Jack, I will stop watching. Period. Had there been any justification I would say Jack deserved it. Exposure of your faults if you sign on to live on TV 24/7 is a risk you take. But to pander to America's lack of morals by destroying someone's reputation is completely unacceptable, and I personally will NOT be a party to it. That having been said, anyone know how I get the CBS people to listen? |
Philamom | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 08:42 am     Probably the best you can do is use the CBS feedback form, Bear. Here's the link. Make sure you highlight BB in choose a category field. I'll join you in sending in an email. http://www.cbs.com/info/user_services/fb_global_form.shtml |
Csnog | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 08:44 am     Send a cc to the ADVERTISERS also. |
Bearware | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 08:49 am     Thanks Phil, went there, and sent it. Sure hope it works. I think ALL of us who feel this is totally wrong should do the same thing. |
Bb42c | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 09:23 am     i did it. Told them I would be contacting the advertisers if Arnold doesnt get that action to cease. |
Rob_Robe | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 09:29 am     same here |
Saggkl | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 09:30 am     When did this happen? I have not been watching much this week-end. company. Is it in the live posts? Why are they bad mouthing Jack? |
Bearware | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 09:39 am     Saggkl, read the "This is going too far" thread. It tells the story. |
Sushigirl | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 10:02 am     I'm out of the loop on this subject. It must have taken place when I wasn't around. If they are doing this, it is horrific. Accusations like that cause irreversible harm. That is taking the game to the lowest of lows. |
Saggkl | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 10:16 am     Thanks Bearware |
Gemma120in2002 | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 10:49 am     I think that they should air it, but they should make sure to emphasize the fact that Ali and Jun are making it up. They should play up the fact that they are definately making up all the slanderous allegations and show them laughing and creating it. It can be shown properly so that there is no mistaking what has happened. |
Lancecrossfire | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 10:51 am     Gemma, they could, but if they show it, they won't make it clear Ali and Jun are making it up. Arni has no concern for Jack--at least as far as we've been shown. |
Ketchuplover | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 11:00 am     I thought it was illegal to besmirch someone's character? |
Catkey94 | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 11:03 am     I think there should be a clear cut line between a game and malicious chararacter assassination. Jun and Alison need to be stopped from doing what they are doing. CBS should put an end to it if for no other reason that they could be sued for allowing behavior like this to take place on their show. |
Bluejaxrock | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 11:30 am     OK, I'm in. I also stated that I would send letters of intent to boycott to all of the advertisers and that not only would I cease to watch remaining BB episodes, but any other of CBS' reality shows. Thanks for the heads-up! |
Texasdeb | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 11:41 am     My e-mail's out there too. Thanks for showing us how to "fight" this. |
Seanflynn2003 | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 11:49 am     If it makes you feel better, write to advertisers, but that will have zero impact, particularly since what you are talking about has not been aired on the show. As far as the slander aspects, it would be a matter of whether the HGs in their lengthy contracts signed away rights in this area about suing each other. Not sure if those can be signed away (this would be civil law; criminal law -- like agreeing not to press charges if someone assaults you -- cannot be signed away.) Having said that, since there are tapes of Jack making suggestive comments and flirting and otherwise being mainly a regular guy, he would have no chance of winning the case. This isn't much ado about nothing, but it is overkill at this point. |
Crnchyfrg | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 12:06 pm     I agree after last year they probaly had them sign every waiver available. I'll bet they show it with no explanation. Making Jack look bad. Even though his comments have been no worse than any of the others. I mean Ali made out with have the house,if she is like that in here I would hate to think about outside with a few drinks in her. So whose character is worse. |
Misslibra | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 02:05 pm     A email wouldn't hurt about the filth that have been for some time now spewing from Robert's mouth either. |
