Because where else can this happen?
"Three aspiring Italian Big Brother contestants preparing for a few weeks of easy celebrity in a comfortable apartment got a dose of hard reality on Monday as 60 supporters of a far-right political party trapped them in a Rome piazza to demand housing rights for low income Italians."Waving fire crackers and carrying a banner reading "A home is no game", the protesters attacked and burst a four metre high transparent plastic bubble set up in the piazza to host the hopeful contestants, who were appearing live on TV waiting to hear if they had been selected to enter the Big Brother house.
The live footage was quickly blacked out as chanting protesters stabbed holes in the bubble using knives...
By the end of the evening, the student had been voted into the Big Brother house, set up at Rome's Cinecitta film studios, joining an entire Sicilian family and a transsexual from north Italy among other contestants. The protesters, meanwhile, marched away in triumph across the nearby Roman Milvian bridge." (Guardian)
