Pre-Emptive Strike

Child protection groups weigh in on the Big Brother 'turkey slapping' assault:

Campaigners are concerned turkey slapping, males rubbing their crotches in females' faces, could become a playground game when school resumes tomorrow.

"The Big Brother audience is made up of a great number of young children, who are pre-pubescent and impressed by this sort of behaviour," Family Association secretary Angelique Barr said.
Not unless they're watching the program's live video stream on the internet in the early hours of the morning. The incident never screened on TV. That's why Ten got away with it.

Hetty Johnston, founder of child protection group Bravehearts, said: "Children have to be told that this is disgraceful behaviour.
Indeed. If they saw it. If not, raising the subject with them is, well, child abuse.

"Unfortunately, many youngsters will have seen this incident and think it's funny, and believe that if they do it they will look cool.
They'll only see it if adults google it, download it and show it to them. But you can always count on hysterical Hetty:

"I wouldn't be surprised if this was the latest sexual offence to go around the schools." (emphasis added)
In Hetty's especially damaged world, it appears our schools are full of junior rapists looking for the latest thrill.

She needs to take a reality check and tune into Channel V on pay TV sometime - the Monday after the BB incident, it was teen and twenty-somethings texting their opinions on the big story of the day who thought it was cool. In reply to one SMS asking 'what happened?', another reponded:

"I think he slapped her with his d*** or j**ked on her face. Hilarious!"
Only if you get her permission first, moron.

Sheesh.
