Most of you probably don't know that I and others who I invited complained to Off Com about the then, forthcoming program by Derren Brown, when he conducted a live seance.
I purposely didn't urge anyone not to watch the program, as I thought this would only increase the chance people would watch it.
Anyway, good to see that we managed over 700 complaints in the end.

I just hope, nothing like this ever takes place on our screens again.

After of course, being in the crowd for a while beforehand. He’s a practicing catholic. :)

It's exactly like Kevin Smith and the furore he faced before the release of Dogma. The film made an excellent point of demonstrating a loophole in God's law, so it attracted a lot of negaive publicity in the fundamental left of America. So Smith confronted an angry group of placard-wavers outside a cinema and asked if any of them had actually seen the film. What do you think their answer was?

I don't see what your point is? So what if 700 or so people didn't like it. I don't like Eas**tenders, but I don't complain about it to some official watchdog. The type of people "moved" to complain about the seance are the sort that complain about "black"boards, and other PC sh*t like that. We live in a country of almos**t 60 million people, and a fraction of a fraction of them people happened to ring up - so what? Chris Morris managed more complaints with a spoof documentary that highlighted the public's ignorance towards an important issue, yet it is important that the TV networks show groundbreaking work such as his.
Derren "Look at my spooky name spelled with an E" Brown isn't exactly groundbreaking, but he doesn't pretend to be able to contact ghos**t and ghoulies from other realms. He tells us that it's all an illusion, s**tage-managed to convince a panel of gullible volunteers. But the mos**t gullible of all has to be people like Fores**t Fan, if they think that their opinion actually matters.
Troll. F**k off back under your bridge.

Call it my curse; I'm driven to confront petty little bullies like Mary. I know I should really leave it because I've proven a 1000 times over that he's a coward and a fool. But as long as he spouts his self aggrandising ladyhoodjuice, I'll keep making him look like the lying, arrogant smear of scumbutter that he is.

What I'd really like to know is the amount of complaints that Mary (I like that) and his little pack of sheeple make up out of the full seven hundred. I'm guessing himself and at the most five others. As per usual, he's attempting to hijack the fact a small amount of people (third most complained about? big deal. 700 is still 700. Most before the programme was even shown) complained to make himself feel unique and special.
"Listen up, maggots. You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. We are the same decaying organic matter organic as everyone else.”

I don't why you people bother arguing with FF, it's like trying to have a serious conversation with a brick wall.
A brick wall that happens to be a ignorant, religion-induced retard.

Heh. You posted it on Friday evening Mary. Unlike you, most of us have friends to socialise with on a weekend...

Why complain anyway?
You believe in an afterlife and miracles of bringing people back from the dead - so what's the big deal? And what's the big difference?

Does it really matter? Why complain? Why waste your life about a TV program? Its entertaiment. Anyway, what good is complaining.
