||Never Trust Big Brother||

Just goes to show you, what looks like fun on TV may not be so great in real life...

Via SkyNews:

Nine young women have been duped into appearing in internet pornography after starring in a fake Big Brother-style show.

"The 16 to 24-year-olds were locked in a house and filmed round-the-clock for two months.
But instead of fame and fortune from becoming reality show stars, naked pictures of the women were sold on the internet.
The scam in Turkey was uncovered when one anxious set of parents contacted police.
Officers raided the luxury villa in Istanbul, where the women were being held, last weekend.
The victims had all responded to an advertisement on the internet asking for contestants for a new Turkish show called Somebody's Watching You.
They signed contracts agreeing to stay at the house for the two-month period and to pay a forfeit of £20,000 if they walked out.
Initially, the women were delighted after moving into the luxury villa, complete with swimming pool.
But, within a matter of weeks, they realised that something was wrong when the show failed to follow the usual format, like test and evictions.
When they demanded to be released, the victims were told they would have to pay the £20,000 fine before they could leave the property.
None of the housemates could afford to pay and they all continued to stay in the house for the two-month experiment.
When police arrived at the villa, they could hear the women calling for help from inside.
The victims were released on Sunday and one Turkish man was arrested, as the investigation continued."

It's crazy, because the whole Reality TV craze has sent people into a frenzy. Everybody and their mother wants to be a "star" now - and go through such great lengths to do absolutely nothing. Many leave with criminal records and mental damage, and some just end up looking like trash. Look at the case of the reality star who killed his wife and then himself the other day. Tragic! Who knows if that would have happened had he chosen to lead a regular life. Jeeze.

And the person who did this obviously had to be someone of wealth, or at least had access to funding - can you imagine? Being watched for two months in the most intimate manner, with your permission - yet against your will? How tormenting must that have been. Gotta pray for these ladies, cuz they bit off more than they knew they were gonna chew...
