...big brother has gone too far...

Not content with giving people a group of surrogate friends to reduce the amount of time they can spend in the company of real people, they've now created Big Brother's Efourum to stop people having to go to the pub to talk about what a bunch of cunts the housemates are.

It's an interesting experiment ratings-wise - instead of competing with the other channels for audience share they're trying to invent an audience of people who wouldn't otherwise be watching TV at all.
