Philippines' Pinoy Big Brother suspended because of kissing, bikini dancing
The Philippines’ edition of Big Brother, known as Pinoy Big Brother, got in trouble because it showed kissing and houseguests dancing in a bikini.
The show has previously been warned “to make [the show] more wholesome.” But it crossed the line and the Movie & Television Review & Classification Board took action.
The MTRCB said in a letter that the PG rating was inappropriate because the series included “kissing scene between housemates Chx and Sam, gyrating dances in skimpy bikini, double entendre dialogue and use of skimpy bikini.” Thus, the show did not air today.
Damn. What would happen if, hypothetically, “stripped down to his underwear and [danced] about with the broom” and later “put an orange in his pants … dyed his hair blue … passed out on the lawn, and then barfed his guts out several times”? Or if a player was an unrepentant liar? Or called all the show’s viewers “pieces of shit”?

As of this blogging, Pinoy Big Brother is on its last day and the winner will be announced tomorrow. I'm not into reality shows, and much more of the Pinoy Big Brother. Although the stakes and prizes are high, it's just plain manipulation of an individual's life. Manipulating the characters to follow rules and orders just to make interesting confilcts and dramas is just not my definition of entertainment... these are just my own opinion..
