Michael “Ashley” Cox and Michael “John” Bric were both kicked off of Australia’s sixth Big Brother after they allegedly assaulted a female houseguest.

One of the two men “held down a female housemate while [the other] male contestant rubbed his groin in her face,” Reuters reports. A blog has screen captures of the incident, noting that it was John who held Camilla down while Ashley rubbed his penis on her face.

But while Internet watchers saw the incident, footage of the incident will not air on TV. And police will make no arrests. “After watching tapes and interviewing contestants, police have decided there is not enough evidence to support a criminal investigation into accusations of a sexual assault,” the Sydney Morning Herald reports. The two men will reportedly appear on TV tonight to talk about the incident.

As a result of all this, Australia’s Prime Minister John Howard wants the show taken off the air. “I think it is just a question of good taste. Here is a great opportunity for Channel Ten to do a bit of self-regulation and get this stupid program off the air,” he said today.

The show has also shown “regular nudity, footage of contestants showering and sexual activity in a hot-tub,” the BBC reports, and last month, an “adults only” uncut version was cancelled because of controversy.

Jeffrey Scott:
Well, at least this hasn't happened on BBUK.

Bashful:
Right.  At least the sex on BBUK is consentual.   Yet it is there for all to see on the live feeds.  I guess that makes it ok.

puddin:
So , Bashful which episode had the consentual sex in BBUK ?

Bashful:
It was not an episode, it was a live feed.  I found the video clip when surfing the web several months ago, so it could have been a previous BBUK season.  Sorry, I didn't write down the info, and I'd rather not go looking for it.  I'm not going to bash Big Brother over and over just because I find it distasteful.  I just felt the need to comment about this one thing.  End of story.  We all have different tastes, and to each his own.
