The Real Big Brother

Eisenstein102 · 19th July 2003, 10:48 PM

It is an outrage that a daft reality TV programme has spoilt the good name of the darkest omnipresence creared by man. The most frightening thing is that its true, Big brother is watching you. It watches you as you walk down the street etc.

actually -

i was waiting to be picked up in cupar once, at about half 10 in the evening

i was standing on the street wearing a long coat, and was holding a case (my 10 track digital recorder)... one of the CCTV cameras was pointing right at me, so i felt a bit paranoid and walked on a little bit... it followed me further, so i just stood and stared at it for a little while.

5 minutes later a police van pulled up, two policeman promptly got out and questioned me on what i was doing...

is that acceptable in the name of public safety, or is it over the top?

Ha Ha, unlucky, although I can see where they were coming from, you must have looked pretty dodgy. Maybe if you hadn't moved and stared for a bit they would have left you alone.

yeah i guess i was asking for it, but i really didnt expect anyone to actually show up.

This might be slightly off the topic but once when I was walking home from town (straight along the perth road, takes me about 45 mins) I noticed this guy driving past and staring right at me. I just ignored him cos you usually get that when you're the only one around. But then he drove past again going the other way, still staring at me. He drove past me a few more times (always staring right at me) till I eventually got to my street, then he parked just across the road, which just made thing even stranger. So I took a look at his registration and then went in my house, but that was the last I saw of him. I dunno what the fuck was going on to be honest, pretty wierd.

We are all in a truman show type thing on another planet. We all have our own shows. Peak time will be probably at the weekend when we go out etc, although dedicated fans will tune into the Becca show 24/7 - sad i know but fans nonetheless.

Whatever actions we take in life, they are all in the script. When things happen in your life that you least expect its because you're show has been getting bad ratings and the producers need to pep things up a bit.

fun and games, fun and games!
