Well it looks like my timing for writing an article about the generation y obsession with Big Brother could not have been better timed. Today Endemol announced that they are to launch a "virtual big brother" in partnership with Electronic Arts. Virtual Me they are calling it, and it will allow people to spend their time immersed in a version of their favourite TV shows such as Big Brother, Deal or no Deal etc. This story is featured on a few sites at the moment, with bbc and gwn giving particularly good reports. So now it's going to be even easier for the public to get closer to feeling like a D List celebrity.Reminds me a little bit of artist Banksy's revisiting of the Andy Warhol saying...
(definitely one of the most interesting artists around at the moment, more of his work can be found at http://www.banksy.co.uk/)
