"I'm a Celebrity" row
http://tv.uk.msn.com/news/articles.a...484&ocid=today
^ two contestants kill and eat a rat on set. Now, do I agree with the killing and eating of the rat? Of course not, I'm Vegan. Do I think, with all the other creatures eaten alive in this programme, that this is entirely hypocritical? Hell yeah.

Re: "I'm a Celebrity" row
I hope they get the most severe punishment for their crime.
Never heard of either of them.

Re: "I'm a Celebrity" row
I agree, it's hypocritical...or more to the point, cuddlytarians are upset. The whole show is full of animal abuse.

Re: "I'm a Celebrity" row
Totally agree with the hypocritical side. But I hope they get punished for it all the same.

Re: "I'm a Celebrity" row
I've heard on the news that an Aussie court has fined ITV £16,000 for allowing the rat to be killed. The fine should have been much higher and the people who did it should have been punished.

They'll soon get it back with advertisements for Quantas airlines.
