How do BBBA react to the mainstream gossip columns getting the early goods on the House? (Oh, no. Not again, guys??)
They suddenly get all principled about rules and stuff, and even invent something called a "standard same-day media embargo".
From BBBA yesterday:
"The WA arm of news.com.au, PerthNow, has broken the standard same-day media embargo and given out details about tomorrow’s three gatecrashers."
We'll leave that 'arm' thing alone and get on with a couple of basic lessons, okay boys?
An embargoed release is a press release or announcement that is shared with the media in advance of its publishing date. This can be one hour, four hours, 12 hours, three days, one week, two weeks... pick any timeframe you like. There is no such thing as a "standard same-day media embargo".
Lesson number two.
Regardless of how long you must have positively agonised over whether to run with this - appaaaaarently - duplicitous and ill-gotten story, you don't whack in a few Wiki bits and then try and pass it off as your own by saying:
"Please link back to this site when using this info!"

Telling tattle tales in their own game.
Heh.
BBBA's day 8 podcast
Yes, they're still using the podcast idea they copied from the OS (an outdated one that no one cares about now, not even the OS).
Their latest topics and a summary:
- Do we really think so? - They bagged the show, as usual.
- All about the launch - They bagged the show, as usual, and even vibes's family got in on the act (surprise, surprise).
- Official website talk- They bagged the site, as usual, despite the fact that BBBA is crap.
- Rima’s blowout leg - Who cares? They don't. They think it's hilarious and would have the public believe that insiders say that producers aren't happy. Well, der, obviously!
- Racism, Australia, Racism! - Who cares? Worthless discussion.
- The BB host expiry date - Same old bagging.
- Booing Corey - Naturally, they support that, which is strange given that vibes is the internet version of Corey (no one likes him at all).
- Bits and pieces - Mostly ignorant, misinformed crap.
- The real deal with Travis’ voice - I don't think so! As if these guys would know.
Then the say: "Support the podcast and write us a good review on iTunes!"
In other words, they're inviting you to bag them for their hatred. Great, let's all give it a go!
And they were having a chat to their "good friend" Tim Brunero. vibes bragged months ago that Tim would be a big help to BBBA this year, but he is rarely heard from by BBBA. Such a good friend.
They even said that Big Mouth starts at 10:30pm. Wrong! It's an hour earlier.
So basically, it was two gay guys that know nothing, admit they didn't really watch the show (as usual) and have no idea. Typical BBBA! Who bothers to listen to this crap? Is all they can come up with? And they think they'll do these podcasts more regularly. God help us all!
Who bothers to listen to this crap? YOU DO! Haaaahaha Pwnd!

Yes, but never again, and I wouldn't recommend that anyone else bothers. Podcasts are yesterday's news. Get with the times BBBA!
