'Sexist' BBC show leaves viewers barking mad
John Plunkett
Wednesday August 31, 2005
 
The BBC has been forced to apologise after 200 viewers complained about 
a hidden camera show in which women train their husbands like dogs.
BBC2's Bring Your Husband to Heel features dog trainer Annie Clayton 
using traditional dog-training techniques to improve husbands' 
behaviour.
The show, based around the premise that men share 85% of their DNA with 
dogs, uses hidden cameras to film the men, who think they are taking 
part in a documentary about relationship roles.
Dozens of viewers complained on the BBC's Points of View website, 
branding it "sexist, offensive and degrading".
"I am utterly appalled by this programme," said Paul Hayman. "I can 
take a joke like anyone else but dedicating a programme to assisting 
wives to train their husbands like dogs is outrageous."
Other viewers branded the show "grossly insulting" and "scandalous drivel".
"If this had been a woman that was trained as a dog, the programme 
would not have aired," said another complainant. "The entire tone of 
the programme was demeaning to men, and while the producers may argue 
that it was tongue in cheek, it was way over the line. I was left 
incredulous that the BBC would show such a thing."
The show, which began on BBC2 last week, was described by the BBC as a 
"bit of fun". An advert looking for women to take part asked: "Does 
your husband drive you mad? Does his attitude need re-training? Is it 
time to teach the old dog new tricks?"
The first programme featured volunteer Margaret Elliott and her 
unsuspecting husband of 37 years, John. It ended with Margaret 
declaring that her husband was now a "good boy", and Clayton giving her 
a "rosette for bringing her husband to heel".
But the London Evening Standard TV critic, Victor Lewis-Smith, said 
John "looked so thoroughly emasculated by the two women that they might 
as well have taken him to the vet to be 'done'".
The BBC said in a statement today: "There was never an intention to 
cause offence. But we recognise that some viewers have felt the 
programme to be inappropriate and we are sorry if any upset has been 
caused.
"Bring Your Husband to Heel plays on the longstanding stereotype of 
wives nagging husbands about their failings and attempts to explore in 
a humorous way whether it is possible to find solutions to the 
stalemate using a different and unique method of instruction. The 
nature of the programme was clearly signposted."
But the Guardian TV critic, Nancy Banks-Smith, said the show, produced 
by Talkback, was a "real stinker - I am embarrassed for the dogs 
involved".
Another critic wrote: "Disappointingly, this isn't a spoof, rather 
another week, another TV nanny helping us to lead sunnier, sparkier 
domestic lives. This one really takes the biscuit."
A BBC spokesman said: "The thing to remember about this programme is 
it's a bit of fun and there is room for a bit of fun in the BBC2 
schedule.
"It is part of a rich and varied schedule which runs the whole gamut 
from comedy to investigative journalism to hard-hitting documentaries.
"It is pure entertainment, a fun show with a provocative title which I 
am sure a lot of people picked up on. Well over a million people 
enjoyed it."
The BBC apology comes a fortnight after Michael Buerk, the former BBC 
newsreader, stirred up a storm of controversy in the media when he said 
modern men had been reduced to little more than sperm donors.
"Life is now being lived according to women's rules", he told the Radio 
Times. "The traits that have traditionally been associated with men - 
reticence, stoicism, single-mindedness - have been marginalised.
"The result is that men are becoming more like women. Look at the men 
who are being held up as sporting icons - David Beckham and, God 
forbid, Tim Henman. What are men left with?"

Arabs lose Israeli terror stipend
Families of Israeli Arabs shot dead on a bus in Galilee are not
considered terrorism victims because their killer was Jewish, the
defence ministry says.
Under Israeli law, only attacks by "enemies of Israel" are considered
terrorism, the ministry said.
The ruling means families of the four victims will not be entitled to
the lifelong monthly payments given to Israeli victims of Palestinian
attacks.
The ministry says it has offered them an unspecified one-off payment.
The Arabs were killed by a 19-year-old Israeli army deserter who was
thought to be trying to derail the evacuation of Jewish settlements in
Gaza.
The architect of the Gaza plan, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, called the
shooting "a despicable act by a bloodthirsty terrorist".
He is reported to have asked for the Galilee dead to be treated as
terrorism victims - but to have been prevented by the law.
An Israeli Arab member of parliament, Muhammad Barak, said there was a
strong scent of racism about the decision, because it distinguished
between Jewish terrorism and Arab terrorism.
He has submitted an amendment to allow Israel to compensate anyone hurt
in "hostile activities by a terror organisation" - not just those hurt
by "organisations hostile to Israel", Haaretz reports.

hurt in "hostile activities by a terror organisation"
Anche in questo caso non sarebbero stati pagati, visto che e' stato una
persona che ha agito da solo, senza alcuna "terror organisation" dietro.

 uccidono ebrei, cittadini di israele.
Si?  Vuoi dire che le vittime di QUESTO attacco sotto non sono
considerate da Israele vittime del terrorismo? facce ride!

Suicide bomb dismays Arab citizens of Israel
By Matthew Kalman, USA TODAY
DEIR HANNA, Israel - The shock waves of Sunday's suicide bombing in a
train station in northern Israel were being felt Monday by the million
or more Palestinian Arabs who are Israeli citizens.
Initial reports said the terrorist who blew himself up in Nahariya,
killing three off-duty Israeli soldiers and injuring dozens more, was
48-year-old Muhammed Shaker Habashi, from the village of Abu Snan,
about 30 miles from here in the Galilee, the northern part of Israel.
Israeli Arab leaders and organizations lined up Monday to denounce the
attack.
"It's very serious," said Shawki Khatib, chairman of the Israeli Arab
Leadership Monitoring Committee, which represents Israel's Arab
citizens. "We condemn such people, and we spit them out - not only
those who carry out such attacks, but even those who think in this
direction."
Khatib and other Israeli Arab leaders warn against concluding that
Sunday's attack indicated a new extremist tendency within their
community.
"This does not indicate a trend and it is not a turning point," said
Abdel Malik Dahamshe, one of 10 Arab members elected to the Knesset,
Israel's 120-seat parliament. "We have proven ourselves for 53 years.
We don't need to prove afresh twice each day that we are citizens."
Israeli observers said Sunday's suicide bombing has generated greater
concern throughout the country that the attack by one of their own will
add a dangerous new dimension to the 11-month conflict. Writing in
Monday's daily Ma'ariv, Israeli commentator Chemi Shalev said, "For
much of the public, a suicide bomber from among the Israeli Arabs is a
nightmare that has come true."
Relations between Israel's Jewish majority and Arab minority have
always been complex. From the founding of the Jewish state in 1948
until 1966, Israeli Arabs lived under military rule. The Druse, members
of a religion that grew out of Islam centuries ago but that Muslims no
longer recognize as part of Islam, make up about 10% of Israeli Arabs.
Christians represent 12%-15% of the Arab citizens. All have long
complained of discrimination by the Jewish majority. Despite recent
attempts to bridge the gap, Arab Israeli communities suffer from a
deficiency of health, welfare, education and transport services.
Palestinian activists had been largely unsuccessful, until lately, in
their attempts to exploit the feelings of alienation among Israeli
Arabs. Despite feelings of solidarity with the Palestinians of the West
Bank and Gaza, who often are relatives, Israeli Arabs have been absent
from any active role in the recent intifada, or uprising, that has
claimed more than 700 lives, most of them Palestinians.
However, with the rise of the extreme religious Islamic movement in the
past decade, these feelings have shifted toward political activity on
behalf of the Palestinian struggle for independence.
Fundamentalist Muslim groups are trying to enlist young Palestinians to
fight and even sacrifice themselves for their cause: an independent
Palestinian state and the destruction of Israel. For the first time,
observers say, it appears their message is reaching inside Israel to
Arab citizens.
"This confers legitimacy on those on the Jewish side who recently began
to claim that Israeli Arabs are a fifth column," said Elie Rekhess, a
professor of Israeli Arab politics at Tel Aviv University, alluding to
a group within a society that helps the enemy.
Thirteen Israeli Arabs were shot dead by Israeli police during a wave
of riots in northern Israel last October. The unrest died down after a
few days. Since then, Israeli Arabs have been largely quiet, especially
after the Israeli government set up an official commission of inquiry
into last year's riots.
In Deir Hanna, Sunday's suicide bombing hit especially hard. The
village's 15,000 Muslims, Christians and Druse were still reeling from
the arrests Thursday of four local 16-year-olds on suspicion of
planting a bomb at a major intersection 3 miles away.
Israeli security officials say they believe the teens were recruited by
a Fatah group loyal to Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat in the West
Bank town of Jenin. Two of the teens have confessed, Israeli police and
their Israeli Arab lawyer say.
But Rasmiyeh Khatib, whose nephew is among the teen suspects under
arrest, said Israeli Arabs are good citizens. "We are loyal to the
state. We don't want problems. My nephew is a good boy who was led
astray. I'm sure he didn't know what he was doing. They played with his
head."
In Abu Snan, home to the suspected suicide bomber Habashi, there was
outrage that the village could should have produced a terrorist. Most
residents are Druse. The highest-ranking Druse soldier in the country,
Maj. Gen. Yusef Mishlev, comes from the village.
Sheik Mohanna, the local Druse leader whose son died fighting for the
Israeli army in Lebanon, expressed the shock of his community. "Abu
Snan has given its best sons for the sake of the country. We are in
trauma here in the village. Such people have no place amongst us,
none."

killing three off-duty Israeli soldiers
Se attacca i soldati di Israele che rappresentano lo stato, allora e'
"un nemico di Israele".
Ma libero di mostrare che ai familiari delle vittime di quell'attentato
si sia applicata tale legge sul terrorismo, se pensi di esserne in
grado.

Due fotografie molto molto simili:  Abitanti di New Orleans che
attraversano la zona colpita dall'uragano trascinandosi un pochino di
cibo che hanno trovato in un negozio.
In un caso, la didascalia dice che il cibo e' stato saccheggiato.
Nell'altro e' stato semplicemente trovato.
Dimenticavo un particolare insignificante:  Il cibo "saccheggiato" lo
sta portando un nero.  Il cibo "trovato",due bianchi.

Ora ti resta solo da dimostrare che i "due bianchi" quel cibo lo hanno
"saccheggiato" :)

IMHO la ragazza nella foto con due persone e' nera.

Se, nel lontano 1955, quando osň rifiutarsi di alzare il suo culone da

no".
2. Che tu avevi scritto quel post per assurdo, per ironizzare sulle
