Brass Vorderman Posted Tue Jul 31 16:22:40 BST 2001 by 'hegarty'

Carol Vorderman was invited to take part in the controversial Brass Eye paedophile programme.

The Countdown star was asked to give an introduction to an anti-paedophile campaign video and website for the spoof documentary.

Speaking at the launch of an NSPCC campaign in London to promote child safety on the internet, she said she declined to get involved in the project.

She said: "I have received a number of letters from Brass Eye trying to get me to appear.

"I had a number of letters under the guise of PC4, which said it was a voluntary organisation, which promotes responsible use of the internet asking me to give an introduction to a campaign video and website.

"But I don't get involved in anything unless I know what I am talking about, I can't see the point.

"I've seen Brass Eye a number of times and as a member of the media I think it is quite acceptable to puncture egos and that it should be done. So, I was looking for valid points in it and there were a few.

"However, there were scenes in it which weren't about puncturing egos or mimicking what goes on in other TV documentaries."

Ms Vorderman also disclosed that several years ago Countdown producers had unwittingly recorded an episode with a convicted sex offender.

The victim contacted Channel 4 after reading in her local paper that he was to appear on the programme.

She said: "The bosses refused to broadcast it and quite rightly so. That programme should not have been shown.

She'll recommend Benecol without checking the facts, though, won't she?

to claim that Benecol actually reduces cholesterol is taking advantage of fat people's fears. Some of those people may have been tampered with as kids. And so I arrive at my conclusion.
Vorderman is a paedophile supporter.
She hounds those poor victims.

I find this slightly silly. I think we need Richard Blackwood to explain to us why convicted sex offenders should not appear on light-hearted game shows ("And when they say 'I'll have two from the top and one from the bottom, Carol' they're actually talking about your children's genitals").

Have you noticed, she can no longer say "reduce" without doing a talky hand movement?

Take a look next time it's on.

They can actually pick special letters which enable them to lure kids into cars after the show.
They use the countdown clock music as a cover to get out their noisy genitals. Yes, paedophiles have noisy genitals. Far noisier than you or I. So watch out for that. You can hear them ticking when they're aroused.

What actually happens when they get naughty words up is that the audience start screeching and squealing like rabid pigs and tearing off eachother's clothes. Vorderman stabs herself in the tits with a biro whilst chanting "No Mercy!" and Whitely bursts into tears as he flings his own filth into the crowd in an effort to calm things down.
I know, I seen it.

I saw Vorderman on an internet peodophile programme, saying things like 'within minutes of logging on we are approached by a man in a chat room, he asks what colour my panties are, we say pink...' There was a case on it of a young girl being groomed by a peodo online, Vorderman went to great lengths to explain the evil of the man involved. After several minutes of this horror, she reveals the name of the website that the young girl was logged on to - www.younggirlsforoldermen.com (i paraphrase the address as i can't remember exactly, godforbid that this one leads to a hell den such as described in the programme). THe amazing thing was, that Vorderman never once said, 'hang on a minute madam, concerned mother, what the bloody fucking hell was your 10 year old daughter doing logged on to young girls for older men dot com?' It beggared belief, and in many ways was a direct 'inspiration' for the brass eye internet section. I think morris has seen this and would be interested if anyone else has...

Even more sinister was an article in the Daily Mail a few months ago written by one of their male journalists who posed as a teenage girl in order to investigate the dangers to children on the internet.

"Benecol actually reduces colestorol. There's no evidence for it, but it is scientific fact."

Obviously.

Was the guy who *almost* appeared on Countdown the same guy who got into the Grand Final of 15-to-1 last year, necessitating some cunning editing to remove him from the show (and the painfully obvious non-appearence of podium number four throughout the programme)?

It does seem silly that a show is banned because the person in it is a paedo. This is discrimination, basically. However, game show contestants are always asked whether they have an criminal convictions on their registeration forms. You also have to agree to follow the rules of the show. It's sort of like a contract and you have to sign it stating that what you have written on it about yourself is correct. I think it's a legally binding document and if you lie about, say, your criminal convictions they can probably take legal action against you. If the paedo on Countdown did lie, C4 are then within their rights to not show the programme.

Not sure why they don't allow convicted criminals on game shows. I'd like to know. It could be for a spurious reason and perhaps be discrimination. Then again, you can't get certain jobs with a criminal conviction either, so I suppose it makes sense.

There's a tip for you kids, don't do crime or you can't go on Countdown and win a poxy prize.
