Big Brother Report on Queer Planet

One of the best reports that I have read so far on the viral media coverage of an ex-media student of mine, John Bric, and his involvement in the Big Brother incident, is in a little known magazine called Queer Planet.They suggest that it was an elaborate media stunt by the 10 Network. I wouldn’t put it past Chanel 10 and Queerplanet’s article has got some pretty convincing evidence.

Since the disqualification of John Bric (Michael) and Michael Cox (Ashley) from the Big Brother house on Saturday evening, accusations and careless reporting of an alleged sexual attack against Camilla Halliwell have gone hysterically over the top. The two men have since faced the public in an official response to the media on Network TEN last night. Making it clear that it was not a sexual attack, however a mere practical joke which was laughed off by all three parties afterwards. The allegations of a sexual attack was simply a product of the media. (link)
