"Day 6,296 in the Big Brother house, fiction becomes fact"
In 1999 the Netherlands aired the first ever TV series of "big brother", produced by Endemol and based on Orwell's novel, even naming the show after the fictitious political party. The show places it's subjects in a strictly controlled environment making them live together whilst being under video surveillance the entire time. Whilst the first series of the show seemed to follow the main premise which was basically a social experiment requiring housemates to interact with others who may have differing ideals, beliefs, and prejudices, the programme we see today is very different indeed. let's forget the fact that it is pure "car crash" TV, and that the participants are so odious you would never stomach them in real life, forget all that....the shows aired in the last few years are flawed. Something has changed in the Big Brother house, because instead of analysing the human condition with individuals living together with different prejudices and ideals, now we are merely witnessing individuals with specific ideals and beliefs being scolded and silenced if they do not conform to the media's liberal left persona. Lets take a great example......
