A scandal took place in Beykoz, Istanbul concerning Biri Bizi Gözetliyor - the Turkish version of Big Brother. 9 girls were informed that they were selected to enter the BBG house, who, too happy with the news, didn't hesitate a second to "sprint" to the villa in Beykoz. Their gaiety lasted short however, as they learned later that they were fooled by a gang whose members probably had plans with them, such as selling the girls' video tapes to the news agencies. The shocking news were disseminated to the entire world, with more than two hundred thousand websites mentioning the incident. The event showed us how blindly people (both the gang members and the girls!) desire to become famous and rich, the sinister dual Rushdie has mentioned of. For further details, here's the link!

I find BBG quite boring. Because they always keep fighting and looking quite stupid. And the event in your post proves that the people who tend to be stupid!
ReplyDeleteC'mon! All of us used to watch BBG, when it aired. I used to take a look at it as well:) Admitting time guys:P
ReplyDeleteAnd secondly, this is all those girl's fault. Do they still think that they could become famous through television? That way of thinking would exist at the time when television was first invented..
