	Big Brother television program
		The programme is based around four basic elements: the strip-bare back to basics environment in which they live, the evictions system, the weekly tasks set by 'big brother', and the diary room, in which the housemates convey their thoughts, feelings, frustrations and their nominations.
		To fill in time, the residents of the house have various chores to maintain the house, and are set random tasks by the producers of the show, who communicate with the housemates through one (unseen) individual issuing commands, termed "Big Brother".
		An interesting development in Big Brother is that German scientists have discovered that former contestents may be at risk from Post Container Stress Disorder[?], a condition sometimes suffered by those who leave the armed forces.

		Greer, still best known for her 1970's feminist manifesto, "The Female Eunuch," compared the show, in which celebrities are confined together as viewers decide who goes and who stays, to "a fascist prison camp" where bullying was encouraged and sensory deprivation used as a weapon of torture.
		"The business of the 'Big Brother' house was to bring about a state of abjection among the inhabitants," she told reporters after her departure.
		Even worse, she said, was the way the program makers would "lock down" the contestants in their bedrooms when technicians entered the set, drawing the blinds but leaving the lights on.
