I previously raised the question about whether Interference Inc. was prompt in letting the authorities know that the so-called bombs in Boston weren't bombs. Now a new question has been raised - was Peter Berdovsky prompt in letting Interference Inc. know that the guerilla marketing campaign had gone sour? And should he have informed the on-scene officers that there was nothing to worry about? The issue was raised because Berdovsky videotaped police at a (supposed) bomb site. This is what the Associated Press said : One of the men criminally charged after placing blinking cartoon advertisements around the city videotaped a police bomb squad removing one of the electronic devices, but did not tell the officers the object was harmless. Surveillance cameras caught 27-year-old Peter Berdovsky videotaping officers removing what they thought was a possible bomb.

i know you know i'm nuts.
When Big Brother first came on in the U.S., I was interested in the entire concept - the whole idea of lack of privacy and lack of information, and how willing participants would respond to such a situation.
In the U.S. Big Brother 1, the lab rats did not perform as expected. The houseguests had the power to vote their own out, and they consistently chose to vote out the more confrontational people (starting with Will Mega). This made for a happy house, but very unriveting television. Things got somewhat bizarre when George almost incited the entire house to leave, in some type of "nobody wins...everybody wins" convoluted thinking.
Enter Arnold Shapiro of "Scared Straight" fame, and Big Brother 2 became a lot more competitive. And a lot more TV-friendly (read: cast aspiring actors and actresses). Unfortunately, it became something that my (then) young daughter couldn't watch, and actually didn't want to watch.
I continued to watch it over the years, but looked at it less and less. By Big Brother 5, I think I only watched one show (wow! the twins are changing clothes!), and I didn't watch any part of Big Brother 6.
I may check out Big Brother 7, depending upon whom they cast.
