Parafox Posted 26 January 2011 Posted 26 January 2011 Has anyone been watching Channel 4 Big Fat Gypsy Weddings? Almost unbelieveable the Chavviness of the people shown, are all travellers like that or have C4 picked on the most outrageous for effect? And what the girls dress like... some very fit, I have to say but OMG, they look like sl**s when they dress... not to mention the dancing! Shocking I think... Anyone else have a view?
I am Rod Hull Posted 26 January 2011 Posted 26 January 2011 I`d rather watch a documentary on 16th century glass blowing..
z-layrex Posted 26 January 2011 Posted 26 January 2011 It's weird how everyone is suddenly talking about it, the first series seemed to slip by almost unnoticed! I feel bad for them to be honest, people treat them like sh**. I do find it funny how the girls dress like utter sluts, but they only have 1 partner for life. I dunno, it seemed like there were some very good-hearted people in that programme, who just go through life having people treat them worse than shit on their shoe...
Bellend Sebastian Posted 26 January 2011 Posted 26 January 2011 It's no 'Louie Spence's Showbusiness'. Now that's what I call a television programme
Guest BlueBrett Posted 26 January 2011 Posted 26 January 2011 Some of them have houses though. So what is it exactly that makes them a gypo? Is it a state of mind or something?
StanSP Posted 26 January 2011 Posted 26 January 2011 Some of them have houses though. So what is it exactly that makes them a gypo? Is it a state of mind or something? They're Irish. Or they have daaaags. Or both No offence intended.
Babylon Posted 26 January 2011 Posted 26 January 2011 Funny that they call themselves travellers, Most of them had been sitting in brick built bungalows (on someone elses land) for the last 7 years with fitted kitchens and bathrooms etc, now last time I looked a bungalow isn't exactly mobile!!! You keep hearing "where do they expect us to go, what about the childrens education". How about get a job, buy a house and put your kids in state school (not that easy I know). To be honest, the only education they need is to know by the age of 18 how much to charge for a blowy... christ they are dressing their kids up as hookers at the age of 6.
Tommy G Posted 26 January 2011 Posted 26 January 2011 It's a funny programme. Had to switch off last night as on my screen were 8 year old girls dancing like beyonce, the kind of scene thats bread and butter for a paedophile. Not sure if the wedding last night was over the top or not....
Guest BlueBrett Posted 26 January 2011 Posted 26 January 2011 I don't think that kind of behaviour is exclusive to gypos though. I reckon if you went to most weddings you would find really young kids trying to dance sexy. It's all this glee and high school musical shit wots dunnit
Houdini Logic Posted 26 January 2011 Posted 26 January 2011 Im going 'grabbing' at the weekend.... My friend explained grabbing to me and it sounded cute. Watched the program myself and it turned out to be mild rape

Haha I was thinking the same thing, there wasn't much travelling going on considering they're travellers. A lot of them have the money to be able to buy a house, just look at the cars they drive and the fact they've never paid tax in their lives but just seem to be happy moaning about being moved around.
Fox You Forest Posted 26 January 2011 Posted 26 January 2011 Some good looking women on it (of the correct age) I find myself muttering all the way through, I'd smash that.

It's all this glee and high school musical shit wots dunnit Glee and High School Musical doesn't really involve 6 year olds slapping on fake tan and a mini skirt and grinding boys(i'm not sure though, ask ACF ).
WardyisPukka Posted 26 January 2011 Posted 26 January 2011 Glee and High School Musical doesn't really involve 6 year olds slapping on fake tan and a mini skirt and grinding boys(i'm not sure though, ask ACF ). very true!! some of their culture and ways are truly shocking!! 6/8 year odls fake tan crap loads of make up and disgusting dresses , its true last nights episode was a peados dream!! i cant and probably wont ever understand their culture and why they do certain things!!
acooling08 Posted 26 January 2011 Posted 26 January 2011 In france they chase their gypos out of the country, here we pay them to show us their shit lives.
Parafox Posted 26 January 2011 Author Posted 26 January 2011 My friend explained grabbing to me and it sounded cute.Watched the program myself and it turned out to be mild rape Is there such a thing as "mild" rape? The grabbing thing is more like a sexual assault, a male forcing a girl who may be only 16-17 to kiss. It may be 'traditional' for them but it's just illegal, surely. And I agree with an earlier comment about showing the younger girls, under 12, cavorting around in very sexually suggestive clothing being a magnet for peadophiles, but I think that is an issue about the way C4 shot those scenes which made it so creepy to watch. Its almost as if C4 wanted to show the girls in a sexual way.

Not just Glee and High School Musical though is it. A lot of dance games too, like the ones for Xbox Kinect, where they have to copy the moves on screen. Plus just about any RnB music video.
Parafox Posted 26 January 2011 Author Posted 26 January 2011 I also had to smile at the beginning where the Pikey cutting the tree was described as a "tree surgeon"

A lot of dance games too, like the ones for Xbox Kinect, where they have to copy the moves on screen. Plus just about any RnB music video. I simply wouldn't allow my daughter (who's 12 BTW) to dance like that whether she'd watched HSM or seen it on an X-Box game. It's JUST NOT ACCEPTABLE.. to us anyway. Incidentally, the only parenting being done, it seemed, was by the mothers, who pretty much looked slappers themselves in spite of the so-called fact that they can only have one partner for life. Where were the fathers? Out tarmacking?
Itsthejoeker Posted 26 January 2011 Posted 26 January 2011 Travellers that want to stay in one place? Sound a bit like squatters to me...

The birds in it might not be six but the programs are definitley targeted at a pre-teen audience. Well, pre teens and gays anyway.

Not technically true, they OWN the land, they just don't have the planning permission to build owt... but they do anyway.. hence the bulldozers!
