paradox, I remember last season hearing from an Aussie friend something about a p*nis being shown on air? Is that what caused the government meltdown? Because it almost caused my friend to have one (she's much older).

It's too bad Jess has his PM system turned off. Otherwise, I would gladly explain to him the meaning of irony.
Oh, well.

I'd rather be on the Real World, actually.

I'm sorry, but all meltdowns are prohibited on Saturdays through Thursdays. Please come back tomorrow and try again.
P.S. I love me some Tylenol PM!
You promised me poems. ~Tricky

The way you worded your original post made it seem like you didn't know about the family's wishes.
So, when you ask, " i think a death in the immediate family should absolutely be an exception to that rule..." we guessed that you didn't know the family, including the father, asked the producers not to tell her.
Turns out you DID know that, but just didn't mention it.
That pretty much makes the post pointless.

Diva and Lizzie, I must again express my love for you both.
If the family didn't want her bothered and she knew that this was a possibility when she went in to the house then what is the problem? Yes it sounds heartless to us, but we are not the people involved. If those were their wishes then so be it.

jess and lizzie--this is a feud? C'mon...if you can't go Di2 batsh!t or lildogs arrogant a$$hole--then you've learned nothing!
The Big Bro thing did remind me of CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM when Larry missed his mother's funeral.
Larry: Where's Mom?
Nat: Well, you know how people do...I'm not going to live forever, you're not going to live forever...
Larry: She's dead?
Nat: Yep, yep. Totally dead.
Larry: Why didn't you tell me?
Nat: She didn't want to bother you.

Feud? Nah, just my usual sniping. I save feuds for things more entertaining.

Posted: 5/31/07 at 5:34pmI don't see the problem. She signed a contract. The family agreed to it. "Them's" the rules. No laws are being broken. It's sad, but.......no one forced them to sign.
