Not sure people are being exploited if they know what they're getting into from the start. People will do it just for the chance to get their fizog on the tellybox.

BT must think we're all wannabe tv sports reporters. Disrespectful in my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think that the BBC is full of Upper Class twits? Because the only young people who can work for nothing as runners and assistants are ones from families whose mums and dads can afford to support them as they work for free. You just don't get it...and probably never will. The principal is exactly the same whatever the company? Exploit and Prosper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My answer would be Go **** Yourself. Welcome to the 15 minutes of fame and reality TV culture that has scourged our society for the last 20 years. We can't afford to recruit and pay actual talent to entertain the masses anymore so we will pay the talentless masses a pittance to entertain themselves, make 'celebrities' out of them and sell them as a product. Best thing is the stoopid masses will actually buy into this concept as they're undiserning morons! Neither is there a shortage of chimpanzees ready and willing to sell their dignity for fame. There's no need to be rude, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesBCFC Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Of course BT wouldn't pay. They don't give a toss about the fans, just like SKY don't. Very tempting to take part and tell both companies to "**** off" on air though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never to the dark side Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Remember going to Watford a few years ago and they had these guys there with movie cameras which were supplied by the company (on loan) in the photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
