Well Not Even the Racist Nazi-Doctor-Loving Contestants of Big Brother can Help Their Poor Ratings

Well it seems that CBS putting a bunch of racists on TV is not having the desired effect on their ratings.

Regardless of all the “buzz” surrounding BB15 — or perhaps because of the nature of it — recent ratings have registered all-time lows for the summertime staple.

Because of the controversy, Aaryn and GinaMarie have, still unbeknownst to them, lost a modeling contract and a job as a pageant coordinator, respectively. Other houseguests on record as having made racist, homophobic and/or misogynist remarks, such as Spencer, were not singled out in the segment.


The comments heard on the 24-hour web feed from CBS.com included gay slurs; commending Nazi leader Adolf Hitler as a gifted speaker, as well as the work done by Nazi doctors; and use of a derogatory sexual term for women.

At least his employer is running for cover.

"The values represented by Spencer Clawson's comments during the Big Brother show do not at all align with Union Pacific's values. Mr. Clawson is on unpaid leave of absence while participating on Big Brother. Union Pacific does not condone his comments," the company said in a prepared statement. "Union Pacific is acting in accordance with Collective Bargaining Agreement terms regarding Mr. Clawson."

I'm pretty sure Union Pacific would be against someone who is praising the wholesale torture and slaughter of Jews and Roma at Auschwitz. Hopefully the union hinted at in that collective bargaining agreement will step aside and make this anti-Semite find work on the Holocaust Denial circuit with former Iranian President Ahmadinajoke.
