‘Big Brother’ contestant expelled over ETA wisecrack
“There are jokes that cannot be accepted on a media outlet,” says broadcaster Telecinco
A contestant on Gran Hermano, the Spanish version of the reality show Big Brother, was expelled from the program for making a bad joke about the terrorist group ETA.
Argi Gastaka, a 20-year-old from the Basque city of Bilbao, said on the air that she had only been to one public march in her life: “I only went to the demonstration to get ETA to come back.”
Although the contestant immediately apologized, a spokesperson at Mediaset, owner of the private station Telecinco, said “there are jokes that cannot be accepted on a media outlet.”
The same source would not comment on the fact that other contestants who have cracked jokes about Marta del Castillo, a teenager killed by her boyfriend in Seville, still remain on the show.
